Do I know you?
He/she apparently knows you!

Definitely wild stuff! I don’t believe I’ve ever interacted with that poster. So I was curious if they were an alt account of someone else?

We both troll a lot and both periodically disappear from the forum for various lengths of time, but I’m the one who doesn’t make up false accusations of racism and hasn’t jailed people for a living.

Well this certainly never happened.

Careful, a single post just like that got Sabo the only perma in the site’s history!

I’m sorry you feel that way. I thought getting you what you wanted would help. I’m sorry it didn’t.
Fwiw, I am not friends with anyone on here. I know no one from here in real life. I don’t follow them on social media or anything like that. I don’t pm people from here except one or two messages sporadically. My interactions with people from here are all publicly in the discord or publicly in the threads in here. The majority of my posting on here is in off topic threads, and I mostly only read the politics threads.
When I delve into moderation issues on here, it has always been in an attempt to fix issues and make the forum better. That’s why I have people from both sides of the divide that formed in here that tend to support things I post in those threads and people from both sides who hate things I post. It’s why I supported getting people into moderation from different “groups”.
You have another forum that my understanding is you enjoy. I hope you continue to enjoy that community there and can leave behind a community that hasn’t been good for you.

Liar! The Milwaukee employee of a landlord got banned. Or was it the dinosaur nostril guy?

One is good looking and sharp witted, and the other is Jman.
Very little you post on this site suggests you are good at fighting bullies.

What about the people who think you and jmakin have equal ownership of this site?
Well I was always fine with your posts despite massively disagreeing on some shit, fwiw. It is what it is with this place and I just take in what’s helpful or entertaining and toss out all the egotistical horseshit that’s also everywhere.
I know this is a bit delayed, but I’ve had a chance to think about it after recently re-reading our exchange.
What you say above might make sense if the self-imposed bans actually meant anything, like self exclusion from a casino or gambling site. You can’t just email Pokerstars asking them to reverse your self-imposed 6 month ban, or turn up to a casino wearing a false moustache after self-excluding. As it stands now, on this site anyone can ask for their self-imposed ban to be reversed at any time, and from what I’ve seen that is exactly what happens. Somebody asks for a week or two weeks, and they’re back posting two days later, sometimes on their main, sometimes on a gimmick that makes it obvious who they are.
So, at least as implemented, I stand by my assessment that this whole thread and premise is nothing but a platform for attention seeking behaviour.

Sometimes the mods just ignore requests to self-ban as well. For instance, LG has tried to perm ban his account on several occasions, but his requests get ignored because in general people like him. If church or jal asked for a perm ban, the mods would probably crack skulls together in a rush to get there first.
So any pretense about actually trying to help people is just more fainting couch bullshit hypocrisy. Par for the course.
Fair point. I’ll revise my last sentence as follows:
I think LG was attempting to use it in the spirit it was originally intended.

I will also add that I do not want to see LG go either. He was just the first convenient example that I could think of.
