I don't necessarily have a clear side to take on this, but damn your name suits you. Tone it down a notch. I understand one side of the argument is protection from disinformation, and the other is an argument for unilateral free speech. Honestly, I believe that both are important, and he was clear with the direction he was taking on it. Nobody should blindly follow any information, but, I understand, he was making that decision for everyone on the forum. A regularly updated stickied post giving a warning about GN probably would have had the intended effect. But, this butthurt mob mentality is destructive. It's cancel culture. Think if how beneficial his other work on the site was. To close, he clearly said that he would be banning only the links - not people. If he was doing otherwise, and then someone made a "fuck this mod, I got banned for free speech post", I usually write those off as shills anyways, since the site TOS is straightforward, and if you don't read stickies, you're not on here to be a part of the forum.
Hey, thanks. My name is actually a reference to a tv show.
Problem is, CNN also “protects us from disinformation” and I’m fairly positive we all have a pretty cynical view of MSM choosing on our behalf what is disinfo and what isn’t to “protect us”.
Other problem is, banning of links precludes the ability to properly attribute researched content to the source, which precludes proper discussion and research of those topics in the first place.
Also, Evspra did indeed go on a ban spree yesterday. I did not get banned but a friend of mine. Part of the reason Evapra’s shit got blown up today is because the banned folks went complaining to the other mods saying they literally got banned all at once by Evspra for literally nothing and were long time members. My friend yesterday literally was banned by Evsora for posting their research in support of GN, their evidence that GN may very well be an insider.
At the end of the day, censorship and ban sprees are not what mods here are meant to do. So I stand my ground. Good riddance Evspra. Abusive Reddit-style mod.
