It’s OK to discuss difficult issues, even if it gets a little ugly sometimes.
Because that means we are talking which is far better than not talking at all. If we don’t talk about difficult issues then how can we learn about each other and the issues.
The comments I saw were fairly serious directed attacks towards another user, even if they were in the heat of the moment.
There was enough to understand why the user deleted their account in the moment, I had to consider permaban before settling with a tempban on just this occasion.
I’ll tell you what happened. Spud took offense to something Baku said. Baku wanted to know what it was that was offensive. Spud launched an attack. Baku retaliated. Shots were fired from both sides about what one should be allowed to post. More shots and then Baku deleted his account.
Wait, what? I guess that explains why Baku messaged me out of the blue last night. It must have been just before he deleted his account.
I’ve been too busy at work; I missed everything. Nobody reported anything though - I would have seen that.
Hrm, he’s nuked his account entirely this time, not simply marked it as deleted. That means that all the posts/messages he’s created over 18 months are deleted from the database. Which will include many daily threads.
Not sure what I think about that. I think I’ll go for a run and ponder stuff.

I missed all the drama but agree with what you say.
What happened anyway?
Looks like some disagreements over discussing the US election got heated?
think you might be underselling it. I think a fairer assessment is some people got attacked.
Lets just revist our rules shall we:
I tried to end the carnage but I couldn’t 😔
I probably am underselling it, I didn’t see it all, just a few bits that are still up.
same, I don’t really see there was any bad comments
but here’s the thing
if people aren’t angry and motivated in this world then that’s a problem
we just have to be civil working together to try to sort if out and see what we can do

I didn’t see anything since I was away doing movie time.
Only came back to the aftermath of it.
Not entirely sure how bad it was.
It’s a lot to process.
Agreed. Life isn’t always sunshine and roses.
