So you're calling for censorship because they are breaking the rules. Ok cool, I'm glad we got the semantics out of the way and are calling it for what it is. Again, I don't agree with any form of censorship for any reason. I think that if you build a robust enough community these people can be weeded out. I think that there are other ways of doing things. Improving the block feature, ignoring people, post limits, maybe limiting what sub-saidits they can post in, idk, anything but just outright censorship. I don't agree with the statement that "Ceasing to interact with them won't stop them." It's logical that if everyone, or at least of a majority of us, where to stop engaging with these people, stop talking ABOUT these people/accounts, stop making stupid posts that include their name or even referencing them, if we all blocked them and acted like they didn't exist, etc., they would have nothing to do. These are just people dude, they aren't some paid MOSSAD agent trying to counter your anti-zionist truth talk. They're bored, sad, probably obese, people, probably dudes, who have no life and get kicks from arguing with people on this site. This is their version of fun. I mean that dude socks already said in a comment here that he only keeps talking because people talk back to him, or something similar. Trolls troll, it's nature man.

Anyway, to not try something like blocking them or just ignoring them and stop engaging, and then to try and say that it won't work is silly. Have you tried blocking them? Have you tried to just not engage and encourage other people not engage? Idk bro, try that shit and see if it works before discounting it. Trying to drape yourself in some cloak of virtue by saying you're trying to save saidit from becoming some internet ghetto is silly too. Just chill man, saidit is fine. These people are not the bulk of what people see on saidit. Hell, I didn't even know who these people where till you posted this stupid thread. And that's what I'm saying, you're bringing attention to it when you could just ignore it.

Are they really disrupting and delegitimizing saidit? lol, Really? Don't you think that's a bit dramatic? Again, I don't know if a lot of people even know who these people are. Saidit seems to have a small group of people who are VERY active, overly active IMO, on this site. I think people who come and lurk, or just like myself contribute sometimes, been on here a long time, but don't get into the drama, don't give a fuck about these people but do give a fuck about keeping saidit a place for free speech and free of censorship. TBH the incessant jew shit or the "oh my god the white race is being killed" or w.e shit, is much more annoying then someone trolling. And I see way more of that stuff on the front page now a days then anything posted from this socks person or whoever the other person is. But hey this is saidit, people do what they do and that's what makes it great. Hell, we can have a sub-saidit called "debatealtright" that isn't about debate at all, it's just a place for white supremacist to have a circle jerk party. Look, saidit is filled with a lot of different people and yes some can be trolls, but lets not get too dramatic. These people are trolls and we should have a better way of dealing with trolls then to simply to censor them. If we can set a good precedent now, and find a better way of dealing with trolls and other similar issues, then it is way less likely that it will be abused in the future. And if some authority does try to abuse it, it will be easier to spot. Just censoring them sets a precedence that can be easily abused by any authority in the future.
