SoylentNews is people

Seems that The Mighty Buzzard is tired of winning. Filters and mod-bans, IRC kicks, anyone who proves that TMB is a loser in debate sooner or later finds themselves blocked from SoylentNews. And seems it is just this one dev who is asserting these admin powers, and lobbying for more draconian rules.

AzumaHazuki was kicked from #soylent by Aphrodite!Aphrodite@dodekatheon.olympus.gr [(TheMightyBuzzard) No reason given]

No reason given, no reason needed, and indeed a complete lack of reason, other than Buzzard displeasure.

*TheMightyBuzzard* FatPhil, Fnord666, Bytram, chromas: adding 24h to each subsequent ban for the same thing (not doubling except the 2nd time, just cause math) sound reasonable to you folks?

Come now, Miffed Bussdart, just go with the shadow-banhammer, for great discussion control. And the provocation?

*AzumaHazuki* is carrion-breath here showing his ignorance again? i have him muted so i can't see
[15:06:22] *c0lo* Moving goal posts, TMB. Spare your back for those trimmings in the church
[15:06:31] *AzumaHazuki* oh, but be careful, you might get !quiet'd or even kickbanned for being ruuuuuuuuuuude
[15:06:41] *AzumaHazuki* because freeze peach
[15:06:44] *TheMightyBuzzard* goal posts? you went entirely off topic so there are no goal posts.
[15:07:20] *TheMightyBuzzard* AzumaHazuki, yes, you might. you've been warned about shitting up the place with personal attacks. that goes even for ones on me.

Personal attacks on the poor little TMB! Life is so unfair! But at least now he can shit post in peace.

And, in the mean time, aristarchus has been mod-banned again, because some new user modded posts the same way as aristarchus did? How convenient, we get all the Buzzard opposition out of the way in one fowl swoop! Now the Runaway Buzzard Gun Blog is complete, the best of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and nothing of value is gained. But the dream of a user moderated site that was BuckFeta is dead. Rest in Pieces.

    There was a Gadfly in Ancient Athens. His name was Socrates. They killed him, and went downhill from there. Reason all of us (Hellenistic Greek scholars) went to Alexandria. And America, until recently, had this reputation for free thought. But now, with all the stupid people complaining about "cancel culture", I fear serious scholarship and free speech will be seeking to go elsewhere. Somewhere they will not be censored for pointing out that stupidity and conspiracy theories are wrong.
