I believe this thread has evolved (devolved?) to finger pointing and a refusal to stand up and debate actions in public.

The recent bans/vacations appeared to be, from a user's view anyway, silencing bans.

While most saw the initial bancations as overreactions, it was the stuff that came out of that mess that's keeping the thread going. Though if dissenters keep getting banned, I doubt it'll go much longer.

So the question is, which banned member are you?

I don't know why people refuse to learn from history. Sending those that disagree with you to the Gulag is not the way to silence the opposition. Sure it works for that individual or individuals, but such actions tend to deepen the mistrust of those in power and fuel the cause of the opposition.

So you think that Bamacre, Red Dawn and the others are lying?
I think it's ridiculous. Someone comes in here screaming their head off about a perceived injustice but we are not given any proof. Oh no, we can't have proof because then he'll be banned. But we should take his word for it that he has the proof as opposed to taking say a mod's word for it that they have proof. It's so nice that everybody has proof that we can't see but we can still get all angry about it anyway. Then we got someone else coming in here screaming their head off, even calling one of our female members a wise and beautiful woman. I can't imagine why he would get vacationed. I think it's ridiculous that people are screeching like harpies over "DOSSIERS!" What are these dossiers? I don't know. They don't seem to know. They aren't telling us when we ask them. I guess we're supposed to take their word for it too and get all het up over that as well.

From what I saw, three people got vacationed/banned over something that several here noticed but did not get vacationed about. After the mod stuff that Loke pulled I would expect that most of us know better. I have no problem about GA because I recall seeing him post links to stuff in the mod forum telling people to read them. But apparently people are going to be so childish about this that what, five more got vacationed/banned over this nonsense. Please. Acting like a bunch of fucking high schoolers.

They spent their Sundays foaming at the mouth at each other. I went to see the symphony. They played some Strauss and made for a very nice evening. Somehow I don't think I'll lose too much sleep over all this nonsense that comes out of a box with a bunch of pretty lights in it.
Hm.

Yes/no?

o_O

i noticed some of the initial BANNED members, are no longer 'banned'

Are they reinstated? Is the 'permaban' removed?
is this the 'conclusion' that perky hinted at earlier??
