That's too bad...

Yeah it is too bad... He's been here a long time and occasionally has great posts. But I can't just let these things fester, especially when it's becoming clear to me that his long-term goal is to post a whole lot (20x a day, every day, for months) to sway the website culture in the direction of easily-verifiable disinformation and extremism, which is very much against our mission goal of not becoming voat.

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.

^ ^ ^ Read this post. A debate between Azaad and Useless_aether. It's long but at the end, after you click the link to the next page he appears to forum slide and drag the debate down considerably. And I noticed he was overtly putting words in Azaad's mouth like it was almost coordinated to try to get him to agree to something.

Azaad personally had enough with him and ended the debate.

That being said, I think a ban was a little harash but as of late he has been quite argumentive in all the wrong fallacious ways.
