In the vast majority of cases, banning is too extreme. I completely applaud evspra for what he did. The guy deserves a medal as far as I'm concerned. The fact that he was pushed out is inexcusable. Even with all of that, I can admit that banning of all things GeorgeNews was probably a misstep on his part. But there are ways to engage with mods and state that cordially, rather than pushing them to quit.
With regard to George New, I think only those posts which attempt to decode Q messages and such using GN timestamps or content should be banned. Why? Because those posts ACTIVELY mislead people. If you are just stating an opinion, no matter distasteful it may be to me, you, or everyone else, banning is a bad, bad thing.
So I may not like the N word. But banning people for it is a slippery slope we should not head down. I may dislike George News now, but unless someone attempts to link a GN post to Q, or push a philosophy onto others that GN is relevant to Q or Trump, then a post has no reason to be banned.
Personal opinions, and posts which clearly express nothing more than a personal opinion, however distateful that opinion may be, should NEVER be banned. That is a canon that the entire GAW community should be able to get behind.
If not, then what are struggling for? Just let the deep state take over and tell us what we are allowed to believe, what we are allowed to say publicly, and how we are allowed to act. That seems to be what some people around here are pushing for when they praise the banning culture.
Banning is a serious thing. Treat it as the serious thing it is and I think we'll all be fine.
