daenerys called a lot of people on the list assholes based on them having opinions she disagreed with, and suggested they be banned for the same. She was widely upvoted.
Point of order: can you quote where they said being reactionary should be a banning offence? Because I don’t see it.
Personally, I’m glad Eugine is gone, because even without the downvoting he was an asshole. And having anti-feminist or biorealist assholes running around is a great way to drive off women and minorities.
Anyways, I prefer the walled garden, and the conversational tone, and the positive emotional support that Facebook provides, so I doubt I’ll come back to posting here.
She prefers that “anti-feminist or biorealist assholes” aren’t here, she prefers “a walled garden”. Is that a literal statement of “I want the anti-feminist or biorealist assholes through over the wall and kept out”? No, but it’s not too hard to do the math.
“Will no one rid me of these turbulent assholes?” (In case the reference is too obscure, see Saint Thomas of Canterbury for details.)
I get the reference. Not because I get references, as a rule, but because Blackadder used it :-)
I read that as saying that they were glad he was gone, but that it didn’t matter much to them—because they had moved to the self-selected “garden” of one’s Facebook feed.
But I suppose I can see how that might be read as an ideal for us to be aspiring to, now that you say it. Which … is bad, yeah. Hmm.
Just ran into Eugine on Gab. The name looked familiar, so I did a quick search, came onto this thread, and saw that my comment giving the quote requested to back up my point had been downvoted into being hidden.
It’s interesting. I’d be embarrassed to downvote to oblivion someone delivering evidence requested to back up their claim, especially on LW.
The banning of Eugine was just part of the trend that today has me banned from Twitter and reading Eugine’s posts on Gab. Such is the asymmetry of the social war. I keep wondering if the Right will ever fight back.

That’s because it’s not there.
