SHL having trouble grasping the sticks and stones concept.
- Frank - 12-14-2015
So on the SHL you can get a posting ban for saying something that would pass on Comedy Central?
I find this offensive.
- JumpierPegasus - 12-14-2015
I suggest we take the week posting ban to gorlab away and add it onto 701's suspension because gorlab contributes funny, albeit repetitive chirps, while 701 contributes nothing of the sort

Again he stirs shit up but does it really do anything to anyone? Does being an asshole warrant punishment? No it doesn't. But if an asshole shoots someone in the head or robs a bank than yes said asshole deserves to be punished.
Am I making sense?
Not shooting down your perspective, but offering a different point of view:
If I run a business, and word of mouth is a part of how that business functions/thrives, if I have an asshole who comes in and makes the same complaint about how my business functions, fine. The owness is on them to not come back, or for my business to change.
If that same asshole keeps coming back, ordering the same thing, and being a loud obnoxious asshole to my customers, he loses his rights to come back; he has become a threat to my business.
Not because at his core he's an asshole, but because he's driving my business away. It becomes a calculated risk:
lose one patron and anyone he's influenced vs keep that patron around and deal with losing the business of the people he drives away.

Where did I lose you? Core concept? Idea of a metaphor? It can be broken down into 'hard to choke on' parts if you're having a tough time following.

If people get offended by what gorlab says they shouldn't be on the internet.
Also your metaphor sucks.

No. My metaphor offers a different perspective that is geared towards the notion of trying to create a broad community, against catering to people with specific needs and ideas of what 'freedom of speech' means.
As the person who takes the most heat from Gorlab, I agree, the drive to be PC is hellish sometimes, he's an Internet Troll; deal with him and move on. It's not hard and kinda fun from time to time.
However if it comes down to him vs the community, the community will bet on itself every time.

When it's me vs Gorlab, it's a one on one, and nothing in those battles has ever resulted in a suspension. However, sometimes he swings for the fences and it does become him vs a lot of the active members on the site.
Lines get easily crossed, be it from him wildly attacking, or people brigading against him.
