Well, it's your call. But 99% of what I see him post is just "incel revolution now" and "the blackpill is right" and "roasties go to hell" and "I hate tall men"...

...I mean, to my eyes it's kind of your typical radical incel. Depressed, mentally ill, and screaming into whatever void won't ban him.

He's certainly not making the site better. But that's where you have to ask yourself where you stand philosophically on the question of free speech. Should you ban someone because they just suck and make the site a little worse for everyone? Or should society give them a space to suck and make everything a little worse for everyone.

He's an obvious troll that isn't acting in good faith, as you pointed out.

Then on top of it he's making the old refrain of "this place is dead" and "magnora7 is a bad person" and "why can't we turn down the captchas?" over and over and over and over like it's his job. Because it is.

I'm not sure why anyone would go to bat for people who are here obviously to undermine and destroy this website... they're not even having a conversation in good faith, they're here to make a huge mess and the post history shows that. And yourself said they were advocating for the murder of women, were you not? So they've clearly broken so many saidit rules it's not even worth defending them...

I'm not sure why anyone would go to bat for people who are here obviously to undermine and destroy this website... they're not even having a conversation in good faith, they're here to make a huge mess and the post history shows that.

The whole reason I'm here is that I go to bat for unpopular people. When Reddit would start a "Brock Turner is the DEVIL" thread, I'd point out things in the record that suggest he's really not that bad a guy. When they'd start a "Peter Cvjetanovic is the DEVIL" thread, I'd point out that I've seen his interviews and met his friends, and he's not a violent or evil guy.

Naturally, they banned me.

I'm the child of a defense attorney. Maybe sticking up for unpopular people is in my nature. As a consequence, the Internet wants me to fuck all the way off and die. And that is why I post to your site almost every day.

I get standing up for unpopular people, and I'm right there with you. I built this website for that reason, after all.

However I am acting on a pattern I have noticed that is clearly acting with malicious intent toward this website. This guy will have a new account... he even already made one in seconds with the 311 account to complain about the 211 account being banned and say how anti-free speech I am... which is also part of the pattern I have seen literally dozens of times now.

He's so very clearly not acting in good faith toward the website, nor does he want to have productive conversations. It's a troll trying to drive wedges and causing discord.

And plus they advocated violence, which is very clearly against the rules. The accounts of his always eventually cross in to this as well. That's the end of the line.

So all in all, pretty open-and-shut case here.
