Touché! Touché! :clap:

Better man than I; that dumpster fire was making my eyes burn.

Could someone please direct us to quality content philosophical threads by the mods?

Banned Windbag, who was a returning banned member.

I banned @Trey for low quality. His admiration of Hitler probably didn't help.

Trumps got a bit of that fancy *Hitler Magic*. His zombie hordes even stormed the nation’s capital for him.

@hope was banned for low quality.

:up:

Easy money if we could bet on that.

hope was banned for low quality. — jamalrob

Not surprised. Too bad. I kind of liked her.

I'm surprised that so many people get banned from this site and that I haven't been banned. I barely ever even read the entire threads that I post in and almost everyone abandons them once I say anything whatsoever.

@1 Brother James has been banned for poor post quality.

what exactly is the benefit to the forum of banning someone like this person?

Not having to clutter the forum with nonsense posts.

:up:

:down:

Fair call in my view.

Too bad. I kind of liked her. — T Clark

It bothers me when members ridicule people who have been banned, which is a common blood sport here on the Bannings thread. I'm sure it's humiliating for them. Most of them are sincere. Most, but not all, don't belong here

As I'm sure most people agree, it was clear from the start that 1 Brother James was not long for the forum. His ideas were no more "nonsense" than many others here. We have a lot of anti-science and pseudo-science posters. Explanations of how consciousness is the result of quantum entanglement between neurons and waves emanating from the planet Kuzbain abound here. There is some controversy as to whether the correct spelling might be "Koozebane."

What bothered me most about 1B James was the fact that he didn't come here to engage in discussions with us. He was just using the forum as a loud speaker to blast out his ideas without explanation or analysis. He was a preacher, not a philosopher.

Was there something in particular you liked about 1 Brother James, or are you commenting just on basic principles? Not disagreeing. Just curious.

Yeah I agree - that shit annoys me, but I was just informing you that @hope most probably wasn't a young lady in a schoolgirl outfit.

I think I just have a higher tolerance for strange people with strange views. I get the clutter thing, but he did attempt to explain himself when you challenged him on his weirdness.
