I think you've blocked me but fuck it I'll reply. No one is hateful towards bisexuals except that ONE guy who keeps making new accounts. Pointing out that bisexuals (usually ones who are not out) harm the LGB community in specific ways isn't a "hate boner". No one is fucking blaming you for that so being defensive isn't doing you or anyone else any favors. You're attempting to shut down discussion when as bisexual people we should be focusing on solutions to integrate these people into our community so the conflict can cease.

I agree with barbie that it's a bit of a circlejerk, but this is our only place to go where people share our opinions. There are debate subs and the like. If you're sick of this place and don't do anything about it in real life then the solutions are obvious.

Gramaroo, JiminyCricket, Jellyfish something, etc... if you see a comment that hates bisexuals, lesbians, straight people, and has some typos, it might be a good bet.

The most recent ones were orangina5 and the original was exponent_2. The names are usually in lower case and I'll also add that he'll criticise gay men only if they're black, otherwise they're safe from his vitriol.

There are repeated phrases and the writing style is pretty much identical. I'm guessing he keeps getting permabanned and that's why he keeps making new accounts.

IP ban maybe? do the mods have that power on this site?

[–]usehername 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No clue. Probably not, but it's possible?

No, we don't, only Admins do and can see that level of detail.

I think on Reddit if mods suspect ban evasion they can contact the admins for IP ban, not sure if that’s the same here?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

We can, yes, but it's ultimately up to the Admins if they want to do so.

IP bans are getting harder and harder to manage though, with VPNs and public wifi/hotspots. It's not always a guarantee, and can catch innocent people by doing so.

We've never asked for an IP ban because of that. We've just contacted Admins about obvious repeat trolls and ban evaders, and asked them if they can help. Give them the info, and let them do with it what they will.

Just letting you know his newest alt is flouiride25.

A little off topic-- I don't know if this helps explain at all, but I remember seeing a lot more negative comments about bisexuals months ago-- that's part of why I try to question it when I see it, I would prefer we not go back to that. But, PatsyStone wasn't around then either (unless this is an alt I guess) so I am not sure what recent examples he/she might be referring to.

I agree that plainly hateful comments towards bisexuals in general shouldn't be accepted and I appreciate your support, but Pat seems to take offense where none is given, which is why I felt the need to reply.

Thank you very much. I literally don't understand why the f*ck so many bi's get so defensive all the time. I also criticize the lesbian community and attitudes from some lesbians. It's not that I purposely have a focus on criticizing bi people. I just criticize when I think something is worthy of criticism. And just like me, people here except from trolls or rare exceptions, never generalize bisexuals. We do make sure to separate the "old school bisexuals" from the "crazy queer ones".

Exactly. It's not personal.
