I, for one, would like to see the full text of the back-door offer janrinok made to aristarchus. I am interested in what danger lurks in the minds of lesser men.

Your wish is a command!
aristarchus,
The aristarchus account is banned, permanently. However, you seem to be determined to remain on the site so I can offer you a proposal to consider. It is not negotiable. Take it or leave it.
I will allow you to create another account providing that certain conditions are met. The first is that you must identify the nickname that you intend to adopt to me via an email from this account. Notification from any other email account will not be acceptable.
The nickname must not be relatable to any previous account that you have created. It must appear as a totally new identity. I will be one of only 2 people who will know who owns that account. I will indicate my acceptance of your new nickname via this email account and no other.
You may then create the actual account using whatever email address you wish. I would strongly recommend that you do NOT use your yahoo.com address. The new account will probably be blocked by the security software but I will unblock it as soon as I can once I have confirmed the nickname. You will then have a completely new identity on the site.
To be fair to you, only 2 people will know that you have been given a new account.
There are further conditions. These rules will apply for the remainder of your time in our community. If you do no comply with all of the following conditions then your new account will be disabled. You will not have another opportunity to create one. There will be no further warnings.
1. You must adopt a completely new persona - if it is apparent to the community that you are actually aristarchus then the new account will be disabled.
2. You must not attack individuals personally. You may criticise their comments by replying directly to them but you must not make any attempt to personally criticise, ridicule or harass any individual. Everyone is entitled to express their own views. I will judge your behaviour solely on how you act under your new nickname.
3. You will not be allowed to post comments anonymously for an extended period, the minimum of which will be 6 months but may be extended at my discretion. I will judge your behaviour solely on how you act under your new nickname.
4. You must not doxx anyone on this site. You are still doxxing (as of a week or two ago) by including personal information that you think we will not notice. We have. Repeating the same personal information so that it becomes more widely known does not mean it is no longer doxxing.
5. You must not continue to disrupt the site as an AC elsewhere in discussions.
6. You will NOT be permitted to hold a staff position, nor will you have access to the private data that we hold. You may volunteer to stand for election as a community representative on the new board.
7. Any attempt to create further sock puppet accounts will result in all of your accounts being disabled.
8. Any moderation abuse involving your new account will result in the account being disabled.
On the positive side of things you will have the benefit of being able to participate fully in the site's discussions. Please take time to consider this offer - it is the only one that you are going to get. I do not expect a reply immediately and the offer will stand for 1 calendar month from the date of this email. After that it will be automatically withdrawn.

If I were aristarchus, I would have accepted this offer. Just think, a Soylentil persona, crafted over many years, abandoned. The right to mod right-wing assholes as they should be, rescinded. Ability to call janrinok a right fucking arse, denied. Such a sweet deal. Only reinforces the perception that SN is a right-wing ammosexual website, that censors any disagreement. Time to die, and be lost, like tears in the rain.

Why can't janrinok just admit the original decision was wrong, a false flag operation by Runaway1956, in the first place? Seems to be the easier solution, without all the drama.
You were banned for doxxing. Some of that doxxing occured in multiple submissions made via your own account. You had sole control over that account. It cannot have been done by anyone else.

We all could dox you, mein friende janrinok. But you are not bothered by such? Why is the racist mo-fo asshole who was allegedly "doxxed" worried about his actual identity being revealed, despite it was his own efforts that made that possible? Yes, he is a criminal, a racist, an with my sympathies to his wife, a misogynist. We need to ban such cretins, not defend them in the name of "free speech", or "equal rights for the conservative brain damaged." Really, seriously, and in fact, this is what SN has devolved to be, and I, for one, can no longer be part of it.
Sorry, I am not aristsarchus, so your phantom battle can continue, you delusional blighty pom!

So, you are saying that aristarchus was a sockpuppet account of Runaway1956, that he used to dox himself? Wow, crazy clever internet modulation, that. More than you would expect from an Arkansas dirt farmer who never went beyond high school. Or, really, what are you saying, janrinok? Aristarchus was just too liberal for this website, so you banned him? Come on, just admit it. And then we can shut the whole place down, now that kolie's ammosexual leanings have come out.

Banned for ALLEGED doxxing. Never proven. Never tried before jury of peers. Only the court of the imperium, the "staff", by which we mean janrinok and friends. Time to send the authorities to the Runaway Homestead and Grow Operation. GPS coordinates are not hard to find.

Less than 24 hours ago, you said this on IRC:
[21:10:39] <aristarchus> Hoping for a quick recovery for janrinok.
Now you've resumed the usual personal attacks toward janrinok. I guess you can't even pretend to be a decent human being for 24 hours before you revert back to your true self. That's really quite sad and pathetic.

Did janrinok have authorization from the Board to make such an offer? Is there not legal liability involved in this? Could it be that the whole thing was overblown, and the result of bad, and overpriced, legal advice?
