already seems to be a backlog in the cite or ban process.

MBN!
Oh wow the bar is 24 hours now? Gmafb. Iāve been banned for longer than that too. Micro its ok bud. Itās ok to have a different idea about who should be banned and for what. Just donāt sit here and tell me that you and the captains arenāt for bans. Itās utter and complete bullshit. You guys arenāt some idealists bound by some intellectual consistency, you guys just want certain people to not face consequences for their actions from the rest of the group. Youāre perfectly fine when others outside of your group face consequences
Why donāt you point to where Iāve called for your ban then? I donāt believe, other than saying maybe people like the guy who complained to Mat and got pol shut down should not be allowed, Iāve ever ever ever advocated for any bans here for anyone. I did ban people as a mod (none more than a day) because I did what I thought was my duty and what had been agreed upon. I think Iāve been very scrupulous about these things. I know Iāve tried to be. And I think the vast majority of people here believe that.
Iāve never claimed to, nor felt obligated to go to war for everyone who gets banned every time or suggested anything other than I am selective about who I will do that for.
Even if thatās what the community has voted on? Itās like you want community governance but when the community vote goes against your friend itās unacceptable to you.
Also āstealing your propertyā seems like a ridiculously loaded way to describe getting banned from an Internet forum.

It being my friend is not irrelevant, but I think 60/40 to perma - or anything short of at least near consensus is terrible and
it makes a mockery of the idea that the members are owners of the site. If Sabo was an owner of the site, I think itās fair to call his perma theft and the other voted attempted-theft.
Can people seek compensation for pre-theft of property? Asking for a friend. 
CN is definitely engaging i some sophistry here, I will be so bold as to say that.
of course
You know what, I have to apologize. You didnāt call for my ban. You just said that I made this place intolerable and left for months over it. I honestly misremembered that. Following that up, Iāll believe your no ban policy when you ever argue against a ban that I or jman take. You still donāt believe in no bans.
The rest of the crew has argued for and is quite happy when I get banned, or at a minimum, they are quiet about it. And you know what? Thatās fine!
Iām sorry, did Donald Trump try to steal the election?
Ok. Thanks.
Saying Iām against bans and never asking for them isnāt enough? I am against you getting bans and Iāll include another reason here that Iāve brought up beforeā¦
In the ban and complain about mod wars, getting a ban is often a victory. Jman and goofy understand this and I think you do too. If you get banned and you take it like a champ you have earned credit. You are able in this discussion right now to use your getting banned as a tool. Reminds me how, as a mod, it was soooooooooo much easier for me to ban jalfrezi than cuse. Jman ended up easy to ban as well because he didnāt complain about it. In the same way, goofy, if he were still a mod, could really easily ban you.
But, anyway, rushing to your defense will be hard. I donāt want you banned because I donāt want bans. But, shrug, wonāt it seem ridiculously shallow and self-serving if I get mad about your future bans?
Was George Zimmerman justified?

I mean, it would be nice to know we can have a positive interaction with each other. Iāve been frustrated with you a lot by what I see as obviously dishonest things over multiple topics. Thatās not meant as an accusation, just my feeling on the matter. Iāll try to be less abrasive in general, but especially with you. If thereās anything specific youād like me to do or change as a show of good faith let me know.
Ok. Did you notice that I stuck up for you on 2p2?
And OK. Iāve said this before, that I think youāre almost not conscious of being a low-level ahole. I get thatās the way a lot of people (mostly dudes) interact, and I have close friends who are like that. Everyone should be about to take some ballbusting or something like that. You should think about that imo and micro-aggressions and how a negative and harsh climate/culture is part of the foundation for the battles, like charged particles in the air building up to lighting strikes.

I would think in most law firms it would take something like consensus to remove a partner.
ātheftā is not understandable in isolation really. Itās fuzzy. Members being allowed to post here at the pleasure of a modest super-majority doesnāt really seem like ownership to me. Yeah, I think a 60% vote to strip what I considered ownership is theft.
it is very hard to fire an equity partner and it involves fairly heavy compensation.
so even if this was a good analogy, sabo has been ripped off here. Just saying, it might be sophistry on your part.
