P.S. Thomas Paine made the rule: You don't have to own land to vote, not at all, & so thus Thomas Paine actually was the vote that voted 1st & Last.

They banned this guy?

How outrageous.

If this group is racist, then I'm not interested.

racist adjective
1. showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another.

I don't think there is any evidence here for racism, but it does have to be said there has been zero public statement on why this decision was made; and whether this is a permanent state of affairs.

I'm sorry it's alarmed you JediEido. Perhaps we will receive a statement soon.

doesn't appear likely, I'm pretty sure he either was, or was mistaken for, a troll.

I'm not sure, as some of his comments in other threads seem fine, but some (particularly the threads he's started himself) seem a 'bit off base', bordering on nonsensical. So I suspect a Mod has seen one or two of those, presumably had a chat with him (though I don't know about that), and made the decision to ban him (either temporarily or, more likely in this situation, permanently).

I share Twigga's remorse if this has alarmed you, but in what way is this outrageous or racist?

Nah. There will be Brick. I have faith in the decision makers. The disappearing of subversives is against our doctrine.

It might take the mods/council a while, because they're busy, but there will be something...
Last edit: 5 years 8 months ago by . Reason: Because I dunno who makes these decisions... and "they" is a weird word to use about a corporate that includes you, and "we" is actually just as appropriate a term to use.

Are you going to use links all the time now that you've learnt how to do it? :P :laugh:

It depends, I remember seeing his name in that weird greeny/browny/yellowy colour (meaning he's banned) the same day he started this thread. So its been almost a week and we've not heard anything.

I appreciate what're saying, and I do agree with you, but if he was found to be a troll or in breach of the Temple Rules then the banning isn't quite the same as the 'disappearing of subversives'.

Though you're right in that the mods/council are busy people, and they probably have higher priorities to deal with first, before getting around to making an announcement.
