You realize he baited you into banning him so that he could make you guys look like overzealous and hyper aggressive mods fearful of resistance?

@Zachowon and I have another of our famous debates about whether or not the average IC member needs to be tried for sedition and treason and if convicted face the full consequences of that.

Which is a fair point. I've argued fervently I do believe people on the left should face capital punishment for their conduct, I've argued the need for the government to take the leashes off the militias and to create something like the AAA.
But ive been extremely careful to make damn sure its clear im talking about doing so from the position of it being legally sanctioned. I'm not a fan of random acts of insane violence.

Saying ya oughta just light up cops for enforcing plague laws is indefensible and TBH if he wasn't called out in the thread im honestly kind of surprised over it. Because you kinda should.
Which brings me to the crux of my issue. The staff are asking us to inform our friends and they're doing it in an attempt to change the perceived cultural shift on the site.
That is not why many of you came here, many of you are here to escape that kind of culture.
What they should be asking is for you guys to body the dude for talking crazy even if informing on a buddy feels wrong.
