I will get banned again soon, worry not.
I dont have a persecution complex, I merely have evidence. I get sanctioned for things which others don't. And I am subject to all manner of ad hominem attacks which go unpunished despite there being a rule against such attacks.
Let's all just agree that there are no actual rules here. Let's all put on our big boy pants, tighten our chin straps and engage rather than whine like pussies, calling for bans because something you read made you upset.
Engaging with certain posters here makes me no longer wonder how or why books get banned. Some people are just afraid of speech with which they disagree. What makes them afraid? I don't know. Maybe they're worried that hearing a differing opinion might change their mind?

Have you ever read your posts? Your chief philosophy is that everyone who disagrees with you should be killed.

Not "everyone", just the fascists.

Yes you do. You're a caustic twat who then acts like he's being attacked when people rightly react to your caustic twattery which you try to hide behind a hilariously misplaced superiority complex. YoUr aLL jUsT mAD beCuZ i'M aLwaYs RiTE!!!!
lol, fucking clown.
First and most importantly. Stop crying.
Second, that's not actually true. There is a rule that has consistently underpinned this collection of misfits for decades now:
Now, most of us have kicked that rule in the shin now and again over the years but people who have consistently been caustic twats and ignored the rule have been removed. So if you get banned (and you should, you literally provide zero value), you have to ask why we would look at you the same way we've looked at actual nazis that posted here and were removed. Because it's not why you think it is, though I don't think you're capable of the introspection necessary to see that.
ffs settle down aristotle. The vast majority of your posts are on a Leaf board telling Leaf fans their team is going to lose and then you rinse/repeat regardless of the outcome, how the team is doing, etc. Spare me this bullshit. You're here to troll and be a caustic cocksucker, full stop.

I do not have a persecution complex. I merely take note of the double standard that is sometimes applied.
I also dont consider ot "trolling" when all I am actually doing is forcing Leafs fans to confront uncomfortable truths about their team. I dont spread disinformation, just information that upsets some people.
As for value, well thats a value judgment, which is purely subjective, not objective. And for the faint of heart, there is an ignore button, which I personally would never use because Im not a pussy but it is an option nonetheless.
In my subjective view, people who reply to posts with pictures of insects are the epitome of "low" or "no value" members. The purpose of a message board is to have high traffic. I drive traffic. The reasons why I drive traffic can be debated, but that debate is itself traffic. Posting bug pics doesn't drive traffic to the board. Neither does banning posters who have hot takes you dont like.

Your response is preferable to bug pics.

Commission
Theaster Gates
Obama Presidential Center
Theaster Gates has been commissioned to create a work for the Obama Presidential Center on Chicago’s South Side opening this year. The new permanent installation, an expansive frieze featuring images from the Johnson Publishing Company archive and the Howard Simmons photographic collection, continues Gates’s ongoing practice of exalting and reifying Black cultural legacies through the preservation of archives and everyday materials, bringing renewed value to the stories, creativity, and collective memory that have shaped American life. Located in the Forum Building’s public atrium—named for Hadiya Pendleton, the fifteen-year-old Chicago student who marched in President Obama’s second inauguration parade and was tragically killed a week later due to gun violence—the space stands as a symbol of community, strength, and civic action.Theaster Gates in his Chicago studio, 2025.
