So, who's going to be the first to liken this thread to the birth of the hivemind?

As for my actual contribution to the thread, I'd just like to say that I'm against banning or temp-banning for this kind of behavior. It just doesn't feel like justified censorship. This place isn't protected by the first amendment, but I'd still like to think that it's a place that allows dissenting opinions, even if those opinions have to do with the homogeny of forum opinion.

Hey, aren't you the guy I temp-banned for being obnoxious?


I don't remember ever actually being temp-banned, but I might have just not noticed.

If this was a joke, I'm terrible at detecting internet jokes.

Maybe if you actually banned the trolls/people who regularly engage in personal attacks, the general vibe of things would be more positive.


But that can be a very, very messy grey area.

ajutla, I always get pissed when Booji insults my mom's cooking, because she used to feed him all the time.
