You believe one side has acted well throughout this?

Oh cool. He and I buried the hatchet months ago. :grinning:

Not as far as I know though I wasnā€™t following it in as much detail as some.

His links were generally well sourced but he even got banned one time for posting something in too small a font lol.

And then there was the dreadful BEE BEE CEE incident which was deemed to be an unreliable source.

Iā€™m not saying that church didnā€™t run a few wind ups wrt infection rates Uk v US but there were substantive posts there, and a lot.

I donā€™t remember his name either but I think he hails from 30 miles west of Hereford

I donā€™t believe the fault can be assigned 50/50 or anywhere close to it.

Sure but what value is assigning a score? Letā€™s say itā€™s 80/20. How does that help us with reconciliation?

It should help us understand why one side wonā€™t just agree to ā€œwell, both sides acted less than perfect so just let bygones be bygonesā€.
Apart from that you donā€™t seem to recognize that there are irreconcilable differences in how users think this site should be run. If there is a reset and everybody magically forgets everything that happens, then we will only start the game anew.

Youā€™re being very, very naive to think most ever wanted reconciliation.

The 2020 about moderation feuds were one side of ā€œany bans/exiles/losing members is awful.ā€ Now we have glee from that side that the people being trolled for 2 years have finally said ā€œfuck this Iā€™m out.ā€

Iā€™m sympathetic to folks who feel they were wronged but that guy trolled the shit out of that thread for months/years. Needling and taunting people with ā€œneener neener more of your citizens are dead than mineā€ and then feigning being aggrieved when you get the response you provoke is weak and shouldnā€™t be retconned into some noble info sharing imo.

Youā€™ve got the wrong idea about who those people are, for various reasons. Lack of following closely, and the way one side was more covert, for starters.

Yā€™all have no idea how vicious the PM attacks and the following around was from the side you think are adults. Because one side reported everything and the other didnā€™t.

Didnā€™t you attempt to do exactly this kind of thing with Sabo and have it blow up in your face? Something similar while a mod too or am I misremembering that?

The only way you could possibly think this is if you had goofy and about a half dozen of his disciples on ignore

Just look at the recent posts and the change in tone for when Churchill etc were threatened with bans vs the people who have recently been run off.

The tone and word choices are completely different, from people who said its terrible for anyone to leave, be banned, chased off etc. AQ saying ā€œdisciplesā€ of goofy is a prime example.

Utterly shameless. I said well over a year ago you were going to win and this was the only conclusion possible. Youā€™ve won! This is the end of There Will Be Blood. Congratulations.

Anyway Iā€™m glad my biggest UP bully is gone, Iā€™m glad I got to rub it in his face a bit, Iā€™m ready to move on, and Iā€™m disappointed that people like @LouisCyphre , @Aofrantic , and @otatop arenā€™t ready. But Iā€™ll be here when they are

love to see where all this glee is, from my vantage point itā€™s just not materializing.

Glad youā€™re glad because thatā€™s all that matters, but that guy did teh trump bots, posted high content in programming threads, was generally pretty funny, good tv takes, and many other things. Very valuable member of the community, but glad youā€™re glad, thatā€™s all that matters.
