Eternal truths make me lol. This is a site comprised of people with "problems" of some sort. You are bound to find things to argue about there, but is it worthwhile or important to do so? Are you out to save lives? Censorship and banning are not important subjects on the internets in my opinion. Every site is run in a despotic manner by your values regarding this site.
I view them as MORE important than some lives which don't
touch me, as an example. But, that's because this is 'all a game'
to me.
What is at stake with I2 and Dunc banning Ahayes? You did one step less with making him not equal on your own site.
I feel that's a hell of a difference. Mainly because what I did
was merely a temporary measure, to allow a discussion of the
'danger' he posed. I still kinda oppose making him a citizen again,
but would certainly bow to the desires of others.
We all should know he didn't hack technically, but he did something to inconvenience the person who basically owns the forums here. He was de-adminned (loss Citizenship... which is more insulting than not being an admin to some) just for an annoying change to the word filter he made. That is no better if not more hypocritical than what transpired here.
I don't KNOW that he didn't hack. I'd LIKE to trust dunc,
but his wording seems unlikely as hell. And his refusal to
discuss disturbs the hell out of me. Just what is he actually
hiding?
And yes, the removal of citizenship was over something pretty
fucking minor - except that he was showing signs of instability
in his memos on the board. I didn't think he'd last through a
discussion of the removal of his rights, if he thought they'd
go against him.
