I did find the information he posted interesting at times. I think it's fair to call out this post in particular as there should be some evidence the tweet existed somewhere (other than a screen shot).

His complaining about anti-semitism looks bad, especially if he won't really back it up. I know he argued that Jusuits were the core of the cult rather than Zionists et al, and I do think he should be able to argue whatever point he want's to.

I think Jesus made a valid point here:

Why is he so far from the truth? You cannot just link a YouTube video and say nothing else. You did that to me, when I explained what I believe the Monita Secreta really was and where it came from. You literally linked me a video talking about Nazis and not once did it mention the 16th century episode of the blood Purity Laws of the old Jesuits and the Monita Secreta.

Again, I think useless_aether has contributed a lot of interesting posts as well...

It seems to me that perhaps he's become more argumentative in the last months, with you, Jesus, and other users. We are all in a period of time where everyone is more aggravated and is driven to be so. Perhaps he just felt more passionate about his position rather than having a goal of swaying this website culture? His own passion may have led him to shitty sources as well.

I don't know, perhaps you've had issues going back for a while and have had other communications in regards to such. Dude's been here for a while though and mod's 24 subs. He's always posted a lot. What posts do you feel are easily-verifiable disinformation and extremism?

I guess I just feel his dismissal shouldn't be taken lightly as I've seen him as core poster for a long time, even when there was not so much traffic here, he posted something worth considering.

Well d3rr seems to agree, so perhaps I've over-reached and banned when I should not have. He was really riding that line, where some posts were great, and others were obviously divide-and-conquer disinformation. His refusal to further his understanding on issues that he would constantly post about was dragging discussion down the pyramid of debate.

I will unban him and give him another chance. Trust me this is not a decision I made lightly, this literally took up 3 hours of my day today and he received many warnings beforehand. And he did agree to not ever to post posts advocating violence again, like did yesterday. But I will reverse the decision since both you and d3rr seem to think I've made a mistake by banning him, and I also do think he had a lot of good posts that I will miss. He did make 5 more accounts to post content as ban evasions though, so that wasn't a good look either.

But okay, I'll undo the ban. He gets one more chance.

The divide-and-conquer disinformation is everywhere right now, coming from all angles. It's hard to even form any new face to face relationships at all now that we're obliged to wear masks.

I would agree that riding a high horse on your own ideology does not make for good debate, and that making extra accounts for ban evasion is rather silly.

I realize this site must take up a good chunk of your time. Fortunately, you seem to continue to enjoy it for the most part as well. I think having a benevolent ruler type of structure here is not so bad as long as you guys stay consistent with your values and do your best to stay transparent on decisions, which I think you do.

Sounds fair. Hopefully discourse continues in a respectful manner.
