Steve's Been Banned

If a person only ever comes to this board to upset or rile people up after a very specific kind of event in the US, then proves himself to be both a huge pain in the ass and a total asshole, I'd say about a decade's worth of tolerance of his HURRRRR I AM TOUGH INTERNET MAN schtick is about enough.

Steve's been banned by both username and IP. His account is still up (ie: not deleted) and none of his posts have been removed. If he tries to register a new account, that's going to be banned as well and he will be banned from this server via .htaccess.

This isn't a matter of disagreeing with a person's views or political opinions — it's a matter of dealing with a very unpleasant person who appears on IMCT once or twice a year to very deliberately wind everybody up.

I support this. It’s been at least a decade since he brought anything to the table but trolling.

I just thought of something: Steve's just been Micked. You know, kicked out of the band he started.

But even more importantly, you know what this means? Folks, we're about to make our Cut the Crap! Rendezvous with destiny time!

To follow up, I just received this email:
No warning, no talking to me about it, hiding from me on Facebook. Have some balls. Why are you afraid of me? You're terrified to talk to me.

I broke no rules. I insulted no one. I attacked no one. I called no one a name. All I did was have an opinion that differed from the hives. I was called stupid. I was called a white nationalist. I was insulted. I didn't need a safe space though. How inclusive of you to ban the one person who has a different point of view from the collective. You say I wind you up. I can't help it if my opinion triggers you. What a cowardly thing to do.

He sucks so hard. He’s never forgiven this place for changing from his name.

The lack of self-awareness of someone so up his own ass and straitjacketed by ideology. Yes, Inder must be terrified of him because Steve is such a commanding figure who has earned full repect. Like we couldn't tell how much he held us all in contempt. :rolleyes:

I've excluded more worthy and intelligent assholes than Steve in my day. Undoubtedly he will spend his days interacting with great respect and reciprocity people of diverse faiths and ideologies, proving his rainbow coalition superiority to us all.

Side note: anyone who dismissively uses the word “triggered” the way Steve did is a piece of shit. Triggering is a very real thing that happens to PTSD sufferers when they are forced to relive their trauma (and I mean re-LIVE, not just remember), not just a thing where someone is offended.

Thank you for pointing this out. I was feeling the same way about that comment.

This is a bit less lassaiz faire than the general way things are run around here. I kinda liked him getting shot down by everyone here for his bullshit. It was pretty entertaining. That being said, as you've noted, he would only show up once or twice a year to try (and fail) to rile us up on whatever political thread, so I really don't feel too strongly about him being banned.
