They shouldn't have been banned imo because they were increasingly hostile because I was increasingly annoying. I mean sure they're a lib too but what do the mods expect when i start responding to lengthy replies with varying equivalents of "lol suck me off liberal," that'd engender hostility in most people

(but he called me an idiot so i checked out, i'm not gonna read 10 paragraphs from someone talkin shit at me)

on the other hand, telling a liberal to suck off me and then seeing them immediately get banned before they can reply is one of the best parts of the site

Their name would have led me to believe they weren't a lib, but I saw their comments in realtime and it was absurdly cringe

I've noted that a good % of new libs seem to think hiding behind left-adjacent names and/or non-cis pronouns will protect them from moderation.

I recall this one lib in particular complaining/defending their ass-takes by repeatedly reminding the thread their name was taken from a leftist.

They still got banned haha! Goofy, the lot of em

I got the impression they were a rad lib on a hopefully leftward trajectory. I think they shouldn't have been banned imo because like, how else will they ever be cured of their rad libbery other than by exposure to actual communists
