Honestly, MLs tend to do this with a lot of convos, I feel.

    Still not justified. “uncivilly defending CPUSA, when everyone else in the conversation had valid points.” Really?

    Edit: what baffles me is thinking that banning people will somehow reform them.

    Edit2: fixed crucial typo

      CPUSA is flawed (like every party in the U$). It’s an odd move to act like they’re above criticism.

      Idk why you’d think a temp ban would have no effect on behavior.

      Edit-removed typo correction

        A temporary ban is analogous to bourgeois criminal punishment, governed by an abstract form of equivalent exchange. In theory and in practice, repressive mechanisms have proven to be counterintuitive, as in the present case. Here is Makan, who’s an active contributor to the platform, causing heated arguments in the matrix chatroom.

        Quite the contrary, I think it has (and effectively had) a negative effect on their behavior. Unless if silencing them, by your standards, would be an indication of a pacified behavior.
