Blocking him for things he actually said? How unconventional.
for staff, a must read

Ah, that conversation where you refused to accept any points
How about accepting the point that muting someone for something they didn't write while having no filter for others is a dysfunctional system.
In his mind, it seems we're responsible for what we quote, and knowing which words the site might currently consider offensive.
In summary the site can't provide:
- a list of offensive words
- A consistent filter across platforms
- Any productive automation except muting
And it's your fault. Confess, llama and repent. I may send my pet bunny who is also me to die for your sins.

You too, Al. You cannot possibly understand our ways but be assured we have a plan for you. For now just repent.

Well well, this is interesting innit ?
a fine response. i should have expected it from a dictator bunny.

I was muted for 24 hours because of quoting someone who used that same word. I didn't get a warning, just an automatic mute. That was the first time in ten years I had been muted and it was because of something someone else had said. The fact that you can get around the autobots and say any disgusting thing you want if you use the app instead of the computer, is a problem that has to be addressed and fixed. I don't know if I will come back if I'm ever muted like that again.
Marry me Wolfie and I promise I will never mute you
What I will do, I leave to your imagination

Heh. The ultimate "it's the thought that counts."
I sacrificed everything... I mean, sure, I gave it all back to myself a few days later... but it's the thought that counts right?
No, its just an excuse for being cheap and nasty

You should send david a private message before blocking him.
"Oops! Looks like you violated basic human decency and have been blocked for 1 year. But don't worry, send me an email admitting to being a POS and within 10 business days I'll unblock you."

I'll try harder to do so
After a recent mute I had a reply from a new (to me) staff member who exclaimed "what a good idea!" when I suggested publishing a list of verboten words. Is it possible at this point that anyone behind the scenes here has not heard that lament?
Or maybe she was a bot too. Soon ChatGPT might take over the site completely and Erik can fire the rest.

What happened to the real @david?

this is a good way to lose long time members.
For mine, the site is better off without them - they generate far too much whining compared to any benefits they bring.
your arrogance precedes you.
i will admit i have not been kind to staff-including you.
it is deserved, and here you are saying the site is better without longtime members. what? what you consider whining is people questioning basic functions.
this is another way you fail, david.
oh, wait. david has been here a long time. maybe staff should mute him for a year or more?
