Unwarn me, I was falsely warned for no reason.

Thing is, we could argue about it for 5 hours using wall of text.
Or we could try to use cartoons to prove it wrong in 5 minutes.

Sadly now we are back to the 5 hours method.
Here’s an example.
On Christian boards they will argue about this topic in 5 hours, but common sense cartoons deflate it in 5 minutes. Here’s an example.

Okay, okay, I get it: More Kidstuff.

But my offer still stands.

No its not KidsStuff, its RealStuff.

But yeah, sometimes Children see things clearer than adults do.
Like adults always want to be moving.
A train goes 300 mph…because adults got to be moving.
Can’t just stay in one spot.

Perhaps. But I suggest that both frames of mind are largely existential contraptions that can be discussed intelligently somewhere between a “wall of words” and “cartoon characters”.

And most folks seemed clearly to understand that on my thread. However, your own contribution stands out like a sore thumb. And, sure, while that can be either a good thing or a bad thing, don’t expect everyone to share your own assessment.

Again, perhaps. But Satyr is not a child. And I am not a child. And while we have both become Kids on occasion, the thrust of his thread [and my reaction to it] revolved around certain “adult” assumptions that are made regarding genes and memes in human interactions.

Whether on train going 300 mph or standing in one spot.

It’s like we were exchanging actual substantive thoughts [if at a distance] and you came along and started doodling obscenities.

Or so it seemed to me.

Not my fault if I move too fast to follow along.
Slow down.

I didn’t watch the videos, but the post seemed like a good one.

Thankyou, finally someone understands. :slight_smile:

Why is Trixie permabanned from ILP? Was there a particular post as a crucial factor?

When did that happen?

Three or four days ago, as far as I know.


Trixie was banned four days ago and now posts at Philosophy Now

The question reamains: Why followed this permaban?


A member is automatically permabanned after receiving six suspensions which she already had

I thought that the question was, why there was that warning at all. :bulb:

Is there an appeals process for this? Surely we aren’t summarily exiling people on strict liability for simply having too many infractions.

When I was a teenager, you could get a speeding ticket, and just go and pay it, and you could go right back out and speed again, and when you got another ticket, you just paid it. If you had the money, you could have the freedom to speed. That’s some real American shit right there. But then one day they started with a point system where when you get the ticket, you have to pay, and you get some points on your license. Too many points too fast, and they take your license for a while. Happened to me a handful of times. It really sucked, seemed totally oppressive, and inhibited my freedom as an American who likes to drive fast.

She is banned. The ban rules were recently updated here:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=167245
There’s no appeals procedure in place, as you know.

As I understand it from her user notes, it was for ilovephilosophy.com/viewtopic.ph … 8#p2683698 and (predominantly) the subsequent postings.

The ban was not specifically for those posts, but the general behaviour: she had 11 warnings in the past 2 years. At a certain point signal:noise ratio comes into consideration, as adjudged by the moderators.

If it had been for that posting and the subsequent postings, then the two who posted in that thread before Ultimate Philosophy 1001 would have been permabanned for a very, very long time.

It’s all politics of course. Except for the parts that are not.

And Trixie was a Kid. Except for the times s/he wasn’t. And who knows where the “real” Trixie ends and the personas begin.

I’m not entirely certain where that is applicable even to myself.

Personally, I’m against anyone being permanently banned from ILP. A forum should be created similar to the dungeon at KT. Only members would be permitted to visit.

Trixie, AutSider, Satyr, Lyssa et al were all capable of contributing posts that [while rubbing many the wrong way] provoked thought.

Sure, breaking the rules, huffing and puffing and being deemed an asshole should be reason enough to get you booted from all the other forums. And politics will always be in play here.

But why not set aside a forum for the more extreme opinion.

So you are also saying that the issue is handled in a very unfair/unjust way.

Maybe you want to read the following threads:
