Speaking of gags we don’t understand, what’s the deal with “Viktor”, “Vikkktor” and “Viktim”? does changing his name to a K suppose to be a troll because it sounds more russian? Is it a kkk reference? It’s clearly on purpose but I don’t quite get it.
We basically have ONE RULE here. Don’t troll.
I’ll amend it if you like. Don’t troll the Covid thread.
If you see the need to defend trolling the Covid thread, please think about why you are here.
I can’t think of a post type that is more profoundly unfunny/boring

Except you all get to define that conveniently as you see fit.
We already saw how his posting of a preprint article which went to Science (top scientific publication) was called trolling.
If you really cared about getting good info, you should have thanked him for being the first and only poster to share that data on vaccine efficacy. Instead everyone trolled him.
But that’s okay, he’s an ‘other.’. The ONE RULE doesn’t have to be applied fairly in your world. Perhaps you should think about why you are here.

Ooh, another catchphrase has been born!
We have ONE RULE, didn’t you hear?
The record seems to be that Churchill has been temp-banned approximately 20 times by numerous different mods. But feel free to keep saying how unfairly he has been treated. If this site is around in 5 years, I am sure that this refrain will be one of the final posts.
Some people in this very thread in the past few days have attempted to find “solutions” to this “problem”. Others have dug in their position and done little more than pour gasoline on the fire. Which approach do you think is more conducive to moving forward in a positive manner?

Then stop digging in.

These people are better!
I really hope this is a step in the right direction for you now that you finally see that your digging in your (strange) position and throwing gasoline is unhelpful. I believe we can imrpove from this point. It takes a lot and i appreciate you.
Good talk.

So we’ve advanced to the “actually, who cares if he is shitting up the COVID thread?” phase of the apologia. Gosh, you shouldn’t be getting public health updates from UP, why not let Church troll it up?
Folks have proposed alternatives (less heavy handed moderation and biased standards), you popped in to drudge up more on COVID thread which is the gasoline on the fire.
More moderation for innocuous posting isn’t really an answer to healing fractures. It’s just you digging in.

It would not have been unless the key conclusion churchill highlighted was changed substantially due to an obvious methodological flaw spotted immediately by posters here.
Please stop.

I know you think you’re clever, but you’re really not.

Im starting to think that instead of trying to help the situation you unironically posted that you are trying to solve the problem and others (unspecified but they are suppose to know who they are) are throwing gasoline. Unironically. You didnt post it to show how saying others are throwing gasoline is in fact throwing gasoline. You unironically wrote it.
I think he was showing everyone he realized how poor his posts have been and that he learnt that his low content and trolling are destroying the forum.
It wasn’t unironic. He was conceding and asking remorse. I appreciate that.

No the point is that people post all kinds of bonkers shit all over this website but punishment is handed out unevenly. So instead of ramping up the bannings 10 or 20 fold, we should just not ban people for being wrong.
