He's racist, sexist, and harasses (not goads or trolls, harasses) me every time I post. How do you think potential new members feel when they see Inri's posts going unchecked? It makes us look like a community of shitheads. Half the replies to his awful posts these days is SEVERAL different people telling him to shut up. He's a toxic piece of shit and you're kidding yourself if you think his comments on women and other races are him just trying to ruffle feathers. He believes this shit, he MEANS it. Why do you believe the community should welcome such a guy? He even had a second chance since dada didn't know this account, and what did he do? The same hateful shit. Let's give him a medal for being an asshole.
e: look at the two most recent pages of his post history and defend them please
yeah, see this is the reason why this needs discussing. he's been an asshole and he might genuively believe that women are shit etc but it doesn't change the fact that we're trying to convert him to "our house" really (did i use this term correctly?) by force/exclusion and you don't do this shit in real-life communities. you can just ignore them, tell him it's wrong and he's wrong or just ignore him, that's some fairly established things in communities but the banning is extreme like Malad said. Dada has reasons to believe (as do i) that he really is really is not productive at all the way he is doing right now but kicking him out is definitely quality control. note, i know exactly what is the counter-argument but the kicking under circumstances is still not the greatest reasons...
and by greatest reasons, i'm talking about that if this forum were anything bigger, we COULD establish what is the ideal poster (if we want to) and productive posting et all -
and even then we could argue on a higher level whether something like that is ever necessary than patronizing /dehumilating in a tight-knit, common sense place with the air of pr liberal expression (reminds me of the SA convo with earl commenting why SW still =/= SA)
- but all we have now is circumstances really which brings back to whether any kind of mince inclusion/exclusion is actually benefitting to anything. groan i can't keep on with the lead, it's been awhile i've posted seriously about anything. gimme a inhale break...
but it's a good idea we talk about this over now in this topic since a. earlchip suggests against supposed concensus that he should be kept around and b. as any forum policy it's controversial
How does a relationship start? Not necessarily manipulating anything dude, just realizing he was being complacent and trying to better that about himself if that was infact the problem would fix it wouldn't it? So what? Throw away a three year relationship on a girl you fell in love with because she's too immature to learn how to communicate properly?
Or teach her how to communicate properly and figure out what you need to do in order to make her feel as loved as she actually is?
Really and honestly sometimes you people are the most brilliant I've ever spoken to. But imo, cases like this really show how out of touch you guys can be with REAL shit. Ain't no harm in tryin if he wants to and I'm sure he's a respectible enough person to get the point and fuckoff if she doesn't want to try to work it out or atleast talk about it.
groannnnnnnnnnnnn. i need my break Farren. be merciful.
