I’m going to be a no on banning DS. But if anybody wants to confront him and give him shit about it any time he makes an appearance, that’s ok with me too.

My argument is that the person sending that email creates an unsafe environment for the rest of the community. People should not have to walk on eggshells worried about that kind of sociopathy.

A yes on banning people who give him shit?
No, but I can see how it reads that way. I’ll fix it.
He’ll let others elaborate.

Whats the account? I always thought it was a range of gimmicks.
I agree. Ive perma’d the account. If theres a clear consensus to wind it back i can do so.

I thought we were moving towards no permabans without a community vote.

By “moving towards” do you mean already there a while ago? (I guess spambots and certain gimmicks being the exception.)
Hmm. Are we? I assumed there would be carveouts for horse porn spammers and the like, while requiring more process for long time posters.
My thinking is that DS is more the former than the latter.

I forget if we formalized it.
We have an active RFC currently split 50:50 so it would seem to make sense to let this play out? (I know it was a skewed toward ban when you acted.)
I change my vote to abstain.
“David Sklansky perma banned. Theres a thread about it.”
Is this thread an RFC? Like straw poll, wait a week, then vote RFC?
Is there no process for a perma?
I’m abstaining here (see above vote) but this is how we got the perma of Sabo (which would never have happened if it weren’t for a misclick). Now DS is no Sabo, but he isn’t a spambot or anything like that which could reasonably just be perma’d by a mod.
Since a mod has now banned him I would say this is now an RFC to uphold or overturn that ban. I say uphold.

DS has posted here over the last couple years and it’s really him.
In favor of upholding the ban.

Those who voted no out of some principle that he didn’t do anything objectionable on this site should consider the following:
He never has been, isn’t and never will be a member of this community. Every now and then he might do some drive by posting. Nothing more.
