Thomas Paine: The Vote that Voted First & Last

He did not single people out. He did not rage. (I can't believe that I would walk away of reading that & not realize a good thing.)
He was reasonable. He offered a suggestion for a solution. He calmed his point down.

You banned him? Mayans actually have suffered outrageous loss because a bunch of white Americans were RETARDED!!

White Americans used the trick of a European magician. They crafted guns & murdered Mayans & the animals of this continent. It's not sophisticated. It's not intelligent. It's not CIVILIZED. It's RETARDED.

You banned him? I read the posts!!

You've completely lost me now. I've never accused him of doing any of those things? To my knowledge, nobody has accused him of any of this.

I don't know anything about Mayans, or their relationship with white Americans so I can't comment on that. Though I'm not sure you need to brand ALL white Americans as retarded?

When did I say it was sophisticated, intelligent or civilised?

I feel like I'm only party to half the conversation or something

I think i just entered the twilight zone again :laugh:

The ScottHughes account was banned for valid reasons, I checked after I realised the account was banned a few days ago (before JediEido's account was ever created)

Thanks for letting us know Arisaig. What's the process for going about checking the reasoning for a ban please, so I can let enquirers like JediEido know in the future?

You can message any of the mods/admins/security and ask. They may not be able to supply a full answer, but if you ask nicely they may be inclined to give you enough to put your mind at rest.

This approach seems appropriately compassionate, in as much as it prevents the "name and shame" methodologies of which I am not a fan. The only other case of a ban I know of was handled differently, but that was probably due to the volume of enquirers.

Thanks for the information Arisaig!
