It's also worth noting that banned users can just make another account and keep right on posting. Plenty presumably do, too; you just occasionally get folks like this who make a "banned_user2" account and then throw a tantrum about getting put in posting time out.
People shouldn't get attached to their accounts anyway. I'm strongly considering deleting this account at 10,000 comments and making a Soylent Green celebration post about it.
I was receiving much more “abuse” (online name calling is not abuse) than I was giving, I only got salty towards the end when people downplayed my abusive experiences.
I'm sorry if you felt like people were hurling abuse at you, and that people were downplaying any abuse you experienced. That's obviously not very fun. If you feel like people were being abusive to you, you should report it. Mods around here typically want a very positive space for people.
However, I haven't read the thread and honestly don't plan to so I can't validate (nor disprove) what you're saying. Obviously, you've got a new username and can stay unbanned as long as rules aren't broken.
To be clear, by "downplaying my abusive experiences" they mean people telling them that having experienced abuse doesn't make them an expert on what is and isn't abuse, as far as I can tell. I didn't see one person actually downplay the abuse they experienced.
If he was being abusive towards other users that's a different matter.

Now calling people bitch is abuse. The slippery slope continues.
I guess Chen is abusive for calling Marsha Blackburn a lifetime bitch? Is saying bitch against the rules?
Let’s all go cancel Chen!!!
I think you need to take a breather dude.

yeah i thought this was fuckin stupid before opening the thread but i think kim needs some time outside
maybe make the ban temporary
Bitch
Just make a rule against saying the word bitch, or don’t ban people for it.
But no, you’d rather it be a murky gray area so you can ban those who disagree with the witch hunts and circlejerks
I don't think it's specifically the words you used that got you banned, just the abuse towards fellow comrades.

Yet I’m the only one with a ban... hmmmm....

And ironically, they spent their entire time in that thread downplaying other people's abuse.
Again, please learn what the word abuse means and stop flinging it around so carelessly. Being mocked online is not violence, it is not abuse.
Calling the CPS and cops on an entertainer for a comedic anecdote that landed flat? That’s getting closer
Witch hunt! Circle jerk! Ad Hominem! No True Scotsman! Wengardium Leviosa!
Isn't there a rule against namecalling unless you're dunking on chuds?
Then why were the people calling me names not banned, but I was banned for responding in kind? Rules for thee but not for me?
Because you were acting like a chud?
