I was mad, and it was nearly Christmas and I wanted to have a nice holiday. I think it was an excellent decision in retrospect.

I think your personal feelings do affect your actions with Socks. Yes, he's like one of the top 3 most reported people, yes, you are in your right to ban him, and yes, his refusal to acknowledge his increasingly indefensible positions can be maddening.

But anyone posting long and frequently enough is going to end up violating the rules. You could find 3 strikes for most of us if you wanted to. Certainly me.

You judged his presence a net positive or neutral at least until recently. And I'm not sure it was entirely reasonable to suspect him of bringing down web pages. No offense, I thought you might have been a little paranoid from bud.

Most importantly though, I don't want him banned and isn't that what really matters?

I did judge him as a neutral until recently. I thought JasonC was a crazy old man for getting so pissed. But then I debated about 5 things with socks and saw it for myself. Hypothetically if you noticed intentional gaslighting from someone, I hope that would turn you off too.

And I'm not sure it was entirely reasonable to suspect him of bringing down web pages. No offense, I thought you might have been a little paranoid from bud.

Yes that's fair. Although smelly fueled this paranoia with shit he said to me in a PM.

I guess. I'm not here to be a moral police. But I am here to enforce rules that keep this place milquetoast.

Yeah, Socks doesn't listen.... u/ShalomEveryone is way worse tho.

with shit he said to me in a PM.

Socks, while he has been discussing this in general with me, doesn't share PMs -- as is appropriate. I don't know what y'all discussed.

But I am here to enforce rules that keep this place milquetoast.

There's only about a hundred of us. I'm not saying we shouldn't have rules but that we should be very careful who we vote permanently off the island.

Apparently the island is against permanent bans, so I guess it will all work out.

Are they, or am I the "island?" I am very anti-ban. I like more voices not less, I can always block people and subs.

You have a good Christmas?

All of the admins are the island.

No, motherfuckers be trying to intervention me on Christmas and the VIPs are dead or otherwise not present. But there was a lot of bacon.

Can I be the island instead?

intervention me on Christmas

Really!? I thought you just liked a little herb. Interventions are shitty.

I called my sister a cunt like 4 months ago and the cunt won't let it go. And apparently being stoned 24/7 will make you a less angry person. So I was given drugs as an intervention. Pfft.

Man, women are way too sensitive about that word.

I have a relatable story. This chick I went to HS with also went to my college. She was dating this 50yr old married pedo her parents obviously hated and were trying to limit her access to. She was banned from basically all phone and internet devices so she'd use mine to get around it. The wife said she was using me and I should ask for something in return to make our arrangement not so lopsided.

So I said when you want to use my computer to contact your gross old married bf,I want to play with your tits.

Wife wasn't happy about it, but it was her idea. I'm skimping on the details but it was fucking awesome.

Anyways, so one day after driving this girl to rent foreign movies, she was bitching about my driving. I called her a cunt and she never talked to me again.

If you want, and only because you're my friend, I can talk to your sister for you.

being stoned 24/7 will make you a less angry person

Is true, I am even angrier otherwise.

That actually sounds kinda nice.

Avenged Sevenfold is scamming her into buying ETH. I told her it was stupid and I won't help her waste money. She was pissed for like 3 hours hahaa.

hahha you flew too close to the sun and got burned. I like this whole reciprocity thing, let's not make the arrangement lopsided. you must be a pretty epic salesman in another universe. they do hate that word, that and "fat".

thanks for offering to talk to my sister (I think?) but she's a cunt, I have nothing pleasant or positive to say.

Is true, I am even angrier otherwise.

I know it, here too, but I still don't buy this as a sane lifestyle choice. This is pure western medicine, treating the symptoms only. And if you are straight up never sober ever, you aren't processing emotions correctly. Eventually you aren't even high anymore, you are sober again, your sober is everyone elses high. Then wtf? Where is the escape and brain vacation? I'm sure as shit not smoking any more salvia.
