Some people probably wanted consensus democracy along the lines of Occupy Wall Street, where a small minority can prevent things by wiggling their fingers their wrong way or crossing their arms.

I mean sure… if we’re taking people seriously. However they also had a vote to permanently ban jmakin and they decisively lost. They don’t care about ‘democracy’ at all and taking them at their word is foolish.

[NotBruceZ]

I would say that some of them are serious and maybe others not so serious and some of them are serious but only some of the times and would be more serious if things were run the way they want things to run.

@Yuv

MaxCut and JBro have only voted once. Victoar’s vote was not counted. Wookie missed the 2/3 threshold without Victoar’s vote.

Please do not bring up old beef

Please do not commit informal fallacies, this is your warning.

Indiscriminate y’alling: an informal fallacy that assumes that a fact about a part of a thing is true for the entirety of the thing.

Please do not bring up old beef, but if you’re determined to you might like to click on the link you’ve provided and ponder your use of the word “they”.

Even if you hadn’t misidentified the poll OP words like us and them should be avoided wrt this forum.

Jal it’s they. I voted to ban jmakin permanently. The community disagreed. I let it go. They did not.

he apologized

did he? That wasn’t my recollection.

[anon38180840]

From June 2021:

@jmakin

First off, and most importantly, I want to apologize for breaking the community’s trust

[anon59375068]

Fair point, I do remember that post but my recollection is more on this paragraph, which I found a bit threatening/disturbing and kind of overshadowed the apology:

Finally, if anyone sees this as a reason to doxx me or cause me any RL harm I would like to remind everyone that I know exactly who has my personal info and who does not. I will figure out who did it, and if you think I’m angry and crazy/deranged now, it should also occur to you that I take things like that very seriously and will go to great lengths to make sure whoever does something like this faces consequences. However, there’s nothing I’ve really written here or elsewhere I wouldn’t mind the entire world knowing about. If you are thinking of trying something - just know it’ll likely be a waste of time and anger me greatly.

[anon38180840]

This has been discussed ad nauseum, we’re not going to re-litigate it line by line, it’s old drama. Because it keeps coming up, I will point out that it’s all couched in telling people not to doxx him or cause him real life harm. I don’t view that post as a threat.

As I said, he apologized, we’ve moved on. If you think the community is unsafe with him here, you’re welcome to start a poll about it and lay out your reasons and try to get community support to perma-ban him, but I’m pretty sure that was already tried and failed, though I don’t recall specifics.

I don’t see what good comes from arguing about something jmakin did like 17 months ago that it would be impossible for him to do again.

Thanks for the link - I read it at the time but it’s good to get a refresh on that.

that it would be impossible for him to do again.

Why would it be impossible for him to threaten someone via PM or doxx them off-forum? I’m sure that’s all still highly possible.
