Thanks thats a good safeguard. The BBV raid on OOT was exactly the historical thing I was thinking of.

Time for the ban. These posts are way, way over the line.

Wikipedia gives law professor Phyllis Bernardās definition of eliminationism as a belief that political opponents are āa cancer on the body politic that must be excisedāeither by separation from the public at large, through censorship or by outright exterminationāin order to protect the purity of the nationā. While I do not condone outright killing of Republicans, I do support eliminationist rhetoric towards Republicans that suggests that it is okay to censor or socially isolate them for some of their views, such as racism.
That is not inherently violent, although I admit that someone could get carried away and slip into violence, but itās not my fault if they do. Borrow their language and turn it back on them. Itās like punching a bully in the nose.

I just sent a PM to NotBruceZ and made it an official warning within the Discourse moderators options:
SUBJ: No More Violent Rhetoric
Iām not going to stand for it anymore. I am a mod here and the next time I see a post of yours with violent rhetoric, itās going to be a 24 hour ban. Weāll escalate from there if we have to. If the community wants to demod me or ban me instead, they can do it, but as long as Iām a mod I wonāt stand for it.
This is your final warning.
Feel free to discuss, feel free to start a poll to demod me or ban me if you want. Iāve had enough of this posting from NotBruceZ, and itās a hill Iām willing to die on as a mod.

I came here to recommend this exact thing, as the recent trump thread post has annoyed me to say the least.
Iāll 2nd @anon38180840 in this action.

What makes you think Iām responding to you and not the content that was posted?
Iād like to file a grievance.
This is endorsing trolling, not violence.
The ethnic cleansing post is obviously hot garbage.
I agree that his posts are way over the line. I have had him on ignore for some time though, so cannot comment except for the posts ITT.

Ignoring him is not relevant. If somebody come in here denying the Holocaust, I would expect them to be banned, not ignored, even if they have interesting edgy takes on other things. But thatās my opinion, cuse has stated his and Iām supporting his stance and you guys should also.

I concur.
Oh, my bad. Sorry.
NotBruceās posts are nowhere near holocaust denial in the bad posting scale imo.

I made a purposely ambiguous post to see if anyone would take that meaning, my bad. My real reaction is like, i dont care, but lol jesus christ dude. Come on
One of the most prolific posters on this site (who happens to be the āpresidentā) is using the language of ethnic cleansing and making decisions that are directly responsible for the death of thousands of US allies. NBZ seems to be responding in kind to him and those who support/defend those positions. NBZ is not the problem.

Yeah Trump would be banned too. Youāre analysis and Bruceās tactics are shit. Exactly what someone trying to get this place shut down would post.
