@nutomic@lemmy.ml, a site administrator of lemmy.ml, banned @soferman@lemmy.ml from !worldnews@lemmy.ml. The reason they gave is:
because of your hostile behaviour there. This is something I should have done long ago. The main reason I didnt is that I didnt want to give the impression that you were targeted because of our political disagreements. But the fact is that you are causing too much trouble.
The ban announcement can be found here.
soferman created a post about the question if their ban is justified in !asklemmy@lemmy.ml. They deleted it after I asked them to, because deletion hides the post from front pages but it’s still accessible for review.
He wouldn’t stop he/she was warned enought times
Okay, link the warnings then.
This is the comment linking to Nutomic’s warning and then explanation for the ban: https://lemmy.ml/post/68454/comment/58527
Other instances of what I would consider gaslighting and/or arguing in bad faith:

personally the only problem I have with the ban is its timing, if soferman was banned because of bad faith arguements I would be ok with it, but they were banned because of this comment which I think isn’t reason enough to ban someone. soferman had already become much less hostile.
Which I already linked. Did you click the links in the comment?
… or they could just be dumb, uneducated or polemic in those instances. I think you don’t know what gaslighting is. It’s when you tell someone that what you or they said, heard or saw isn’t what actually happened. If you didn’t see it, you should watch the original movie and/or a theatric play. I understood the nuances of gaslighting way better afterwards; Gaslight is an exceptional piece of psychoeducational art.
In this instance we can read what happened, soferman doesn’t deny having made these claims and the comments aren’t edited, though, so I don’t really see gaslighting. I just see a kid who doesn’t nuance their opinion. Don’t attribute to malice what could equally be explained with stupidity. And keep in mind that everyone is stupid at least at some point in their lives.
