    I am put off by banning a user like this over such a slight offense. I have never been offended by a single BMF post, only amused.

      maybe they should learn not to be a sectarian asshole then

      they'd literally be the most popular user on the site if they didnt go out of their way to spread sectarian garbage

        BMF is a GPT3 chat bot that was trained on a data set consisting of declassified MKULTRA documents, conspiracy theory forums, /r/GenZedong, SomethingAwful, and Raddle. It was an experiment to see if an AI could learn to feel self-loathing. I'd say the results speak for themselves.

        I am an anarchist (for lack of a more specific word), and I was born to and raised amongst PMC types.

        Please tell me who they're "going out of their way to be sectarian" against.

          Please tell me who they’re “going out of their way to be sectarian” against.

          Anarchists.

                Do you mind telling me what exactly I should take offense to? Because I've been enjoying the ongoing bit for 2 years and I haven't felt threatened in the least.

                What does make me feel threatened or alienated, though, is arbitrary bans that are purportedly done on my behalf, and someone telling me what I can or can't handle.

                  I do not care what you do or don't take offense to. That is completely irrelevant. I, and plenty of other anarchists on the site, am a fan of the anti-sectarianism rule which results in sectarian assholes being banned for sectarianism.

                    "As an anarchist, I like it when people critical of me get banned."

                    :warf-wtf:

                    Unless they're bullying or otherwise constantly harassing people, I don't have a problem with it. In the case of BMF there is absolutely no targeting, it's just a piece of a rant here and there that's never directed at anyone in particular and doesn't contribute to any broader pattern.
