I’m going to be honest with you. My problem isn’t this person’s opinions. It’s his behaviour. And you’re slowly beginning to see it. This guy is a classic sea-lion, to use your own reasoning for his ban. He is hounding. Boastful and gloating. Disruptive and combative, while hiding behind a veneer of faux civility. Disrespectful of any dissent. And with a behaviour that sure seems like he might just be three raccoons in a trenchcoat, each with a phone, to put a humorous twist on an accusation you probably wouldn’t let stand given past history. I’m saying there’s plenty of TOS violations (multiple Rule 3 and Rule 4) right in front of your face, if you’d only see them.
But that’s OK. This is not my community to admin. Your community, your rules, and your enforcement. I also get the stress of dealing with people who think you’re not doing enough things or the right things on adminning a community; being a mod is a thankless job with scores of people who think you’re doing it wrong. Note that I wasn’t the one who drew your attention to this thread for an example of that. I’ll live within the letter of your law, though I will definitely point out where I see discrepancy in enforcement. I can’t call this poster a troll, Russian Asset, Paid Actor, or Bot, but I will point out that this user has been banned for 3 days for being a sealion by the admin team after over a month of constant anti-social behaviour. That should be within the letter of the law, right?
I still think you’re treating Monk with kid gloves while coming down on us like a ton of bricks, requiring us to give this…person respect he’s totally and completely unwilling to give us, but again, your community, your rules, and my only real option is deal with it or go somewhere else. I’m not letting this jerk run me off from an otherwise nice community, so here I am.
PS: This is what this poster sent to me.
Schoolyard bully approach with an extra dose of gloating asshole behaviour. Also, I never said this poster can’t post what it wants. I’ve said that its posting history is highly suspect (back to my three raccoons in a trenchcoat analogy), sure, and that I disagree with much of what it posts, and that it is pulling for Trump/Putin with everything it posts, but it is allowed to post what it wants. It just has to deal with all the negative comments and downvotes when it posts its inane drivel.
