Why would you invite someone back into your discord that you banned a year ago just to constantly harass them and provoke arguments to the point they are telling you it makes them sick and want it to stop - and just keep intensifying from there. Where is the logic in that?

      This guy's a shit stirrer. He got banned because he did a "bit" where he "pretended to be a tankie and deny the genocide in east timor" and then when he got told off for it he said that people being mean to succdems is the first step to genocide.

          It was a long-running bit that he would be invited back when he earned 1 million reddit karma.

          He left again because he got dog piled for saying that transphobic views shouldn't be actively suppressed in the context of the recent shooting.

            Interesting perspective, @LamontCranston ! Why shouldn't transphobic views be actively suppressed?

              they're talking about two different days (for people so obsessed with me they sure do miss a lot)

              last day-1: I was asked about something Chomsky said years ago, someone extrapolated or misunderstood that to current events. It has been days of “hey cranston what do you think of x, y, z” and people turning any answer into a fight.

              last day: the arguing that had resumed when I left wasn't even about what you're asking, it was one particularly deranged and hatefilled user just concocting elaborate fantasies about me that they seem to need to make themselves feel like a victim of what they have imagined to justify their abusive behavior

              When someone is imagining things that haven't happened and feeling persecuted by what they have imagined and lashing out because of these feelings of persecution prompted by what they have imagined we are leaving the realm of any sort of political disagrement or any sort of misstatement or foot in mouth on my part and entering mental illness. And the rest of the discord lets that go on and encourages that person for a laugh. I'm expected to just listen to this and put up with it and I anything I say could say will be taken and twisted I could say purple monkey dishwasher and it will just be deconstructed and analysed and added to their rhetoric, and god forbid I should get frustrated or say anything negative back.

                I literally do not care about any of that. Answer the question.

                      He'll say he's against it and then go on the same free speech thing he did on discord.

                      The same way I do any other sort of biggotry. I am particularly disgusted that what is going on in the US is very cynically being driven by powerful interests in order to motivate the voting base they depend on, all those harping on about PrOtEcT kIdS seem to be on the payroll of the Kochs or similar so they can get into office and then serve their interests.

                Regardless of your opinions, this type of behavior is absolutely demented. I believe I know who this user is, and they are extremely toxic. I'm with you here. I'm glad I never post in the Discord, mainly because of deranged users like this.

        You forgot the part where they spent over a year stalking me on various social media platforms - you do allude to this with the weird reddit obsession - and even had a spy in another discord I am on. If someone did this in real life what might happen to them?

        I was asked about something Chomsky said years ago, someone extrapolated or misunderstood that to current events. It has been days of "hey cranston what do you think of x, y, z" and people turning any answer into a fight.

        There are people I would be in 95% agreement with on a matter except for one slight difference in interpretation - and that would be turned into a shitfight.

        I would ask repeatedly for people to stop this and it would just keep going.

        At the end I was very clearly telling people what they were doing was making me sick.

        What is the purpose of doing this to someone?

          my brother in christ, this obsession clearly goes both ways, it would be best for you to walk away before you start denying genocides again

              You have become a character. You pick fights and then blow it out of proportion when people argue with you. You spend all day on reddit doing the exact same thing, the only difference is on the 15 subreddits you mod you get he last say and you hate that your ideas are unpopular elsewhere. You are a social democrat trying to convince a server full of communists of your viewpoint and getting angry when it doens't go well. Log Off Bud.

                Clearly not stalking me as closely as some, I have 1 subreddit which is just a news aggregator and place to store copypastes.

            I stand corrected on that last nope, I have more to do than remember or screencap ancient chats. But having my memory jogged as I recall this came about from a Chomsky discussion with people taking the rightwing line of attacking Chomsky on Cambodia and not listening to the analysis of the evidence - who cares about photos faked in Thailand or different death tolls being combined I guess - or the comparison to the media silence on East Timor. So being fed up yeah I decided to shitpost a bit. Why is it I can be subjected to endless abuse but one false move from me is condemned? Since you pay so much attention to my reddit surely you've seen my real views on Timor so you know perfectly well how disingenuous your mock outrage is.
