Petition to ban Sculptor

[Urwrongx1000]

ILP has spoken:

[Ierrellus]

Can I change my vote from no to yes? I've had my fill of this fool.

[Urwrongx1000]

I believe you only need to vote 'Yes' and it changes your previous vote.

[Ierrellus]

I believe you only need to vote 'Yes' and it changes your previous vote.

Thanks. I did.

[promethean75]

Recent polls show 37% approve of the job sculptor is doing, while 63% disapprove.

It is too soon to know whether he will run for a second term, but we can be sure he's doing better than Trump.

The Merchant of Venice, Act IV, Scene I [The quality of mercy is not strained]
William Shakespeare - 1564-1616


The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'T is mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown:
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea;
Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.

[Ierrellus]

Why evoke Shakespeare for an exercise in futility? What has this thread proved?

[Ichthus77]

I have had mixed interactions. None which bothered me too much. Some which left a good enough impression… though pretty vague at this point.

I don’t see the point in banning anyone ever. They can just come back as a different user, right?

[Urwrongx1000]

I petition to ban Users from threatening violence and to kill people. It's common sense, as philosophy forums do not allow pedophilia for example.

[Ichthus77]

All that involves is deleting someone’s post, not banning them. Is that not already being enforced? Don’t you already have a separate thread on that? Admittedly I have not read it because I am not a moderator. I read this one because it said “petition” in it.

The point is to discourage them. By banning them, you make it more difficult for them to continue doing what they are doing.

Deleting someone's post is a weak sort of punishment. Moreover, it breaks the integrity of the forum.

And I'll just add that no one wants to continually delete posts from a problem member.

[Ichthus77]

ok I think I switched

[Sculptor]

I love the way the Americans - supporters of free speech want to ban someone.

Says a lot about how fake the US notion of themselves is.

[Urwrongx1000]

Now you have something in common with Trump.

Face the ban hammer.

you are the biggest pussy that has ever posted here

[Urwrongx1000]

not really

[Ichthus77]

I mean. They seem to enjoy each other. They’d prolly miss it if it was taken away. I think it’s a fake petition.

Why do you take a few ILP members who want to ban you as representatives of America overall?

And again, why do you assume they want to ban you solely because they don't like your speech?

I'm doing neither.

I am directly criticising those American who all claim to support free speach whilst a that same time supporting a thread to ban someone.
What they think of my posts in neither here nor there.

I wonder if your inability to read and understand, it indicative of the American educational system, which offers the world to lowest literacy rate in the western world.

Who exactly are they? I know Magnus wants to ban you but I haven't heard him speak in defense of free speech.

If you're accusing them of hypocrisy, it means you think they want to ban you because they don't like what you say. That's the whole point of the first amendment. The right to free speech isn't a right that trumps all other rights. You can want to ban someone because they're speech violates other rights (or forum rules).

Well, if anything, it would be indicative of the Canadian educational system, but you don't need me to reveal my stupidity here to know that the American education system is shit--even at the university level (they're hiring professors and handing out degrees simply for being woke).

[A Shieldmaiden]

I voted NO, mainly because most of the time I agree with what he writes.

Sculptor has an amazing sense of humour and wit, not to mention his sharp intelligence.

To all those who voted YES.............You gotta look like you can piss with the big boys.

[Urwrongx1000]

Of course you did, Misses Put Bullets in Your Brain

That's your "Philosophy", stick with it, see how far it gets you
