And I'll explain why. Just because someone has been banned doesn't mean they necessarily are a productive part of the conversation.
He's smart, I'm not going to say he's not. He knows what he's talking about, but he's a sensationalist troll and often I think he just wants to make a scene of things and be outrageous more than he actually wants to have anything resembling a productive conversation. Often in a way that makes our side look bad.
He's also a relentless party animal and is terrible at managing money. Last I heard of him a few years ago he was millions of dollars in debt.
I just don't trust the guy, or think he's responsible. I didn't like him even before the censorship got really bad, and I think anyone who gets involved with him is going to get dragged down.
Total attention whore.
