Was this comment meant to be a reply to me? You seem to be arguing with a bunch of things I never said
Well it seemed to me that you were explaining why he was a bad poster. I never said you said those things, I'm just saying that those things didn't have an affect on him.
I mean, I suppose that was the reason he got banned, right? So people wouldn't have to see his stuff. But there are probably more people now than ever because he just spread out.
If he would have just stayed here, people block him, never see anyting. Banning him seemed to have made him spread out everywhere.
...cool? I never said the bans were effective, so I don't understand why you're responding to me as if I did.
I didn't say anything about UM somehow influencing the American election either
My problem with UM is that they post disingenuously, evidenced by their refusal to actually engage with the content they post when asked about it
Fair enough.
But there is no rule that says people have to engage with the content the post about. In face, the vast majority of posters I see don't engage much about their posts. Some people like to post shit, then do other things. Not everyone is down for some discussion.
I am allowed to dislike someone for their actions without there being a written rule about it
And I am as well.
