(62,534 posts)That he was being civilized? I always respond to bullshit smears with a very calm demeanor, you should know given that you have called me a right winger on a few occasions. As do a lot of us here because that's all you can do, being called a names is bait to get someone to be pissed off and lose it and get blocked from a thread. I would love to call it like I see it but whenever I do I get my post blocked. The behavior and character of some here is beyond reproach.
The guy was not nice and indeed was warned that his language was toxic and he even edited a post in that prison thread before getting banned. I think it was a 5 minute window, maybe if MIRT saw he was willing to remove the toxic language they may have reconsidered, but you have to learn quick when you first join here, I've seen people say stupid shit with only 5 posts get banned, but they seemed like decent people in their other posts, I tend to be overly forgiving and have never been a mod or part of MIRT though so I can't say that I dislike it when they do their job, they have their reasons and having administered other forums before (no where near as popular) I can understand a zero (or low) tolerance policy, especially for new sign ups.
