I had hoped this discussion would be more substantive. Unfortunately, while there are some varied contributions, many posts are simply a rehash of the exact same old spam that typically go flagged. It's tiresome to repeatedly attempt clarifying a point that is simply not being engaged with. This experience confirms, once again, that any endeavor to discuss this banned user in earnest is once again proven futile.

You really don't understand, at all, do you, kolie? You keep asking, but not listening. I was hopeful when you showed up as the savior of SoylentNews, but now I am starting to see that nothing will change. Sorry.
Since you seem intent on arguing purely by ipse dixit, you leave us with no rationale to analyze. You steadfastly refuse to make your esoteric beliefs exoteric for the rest of us. Given this steadfast refusal to provide any logical framework, what is one to conclude, other than that your objective is not consensus, but conflagration?

I think it has, just not in the way intended. A consideration I have seen that I think has at least some life is that the site is now championing its community nature but the ban is still based on the staff decision. However, if the board and community at large were to take a vote on continuing the ban, I think a simple gesture at this journal and the last time this was attempted would make the vote unanimous. And I would consider doing just that. But, given the subject of the vote, I'd also consider if it would make a practical difference to the situation.

You know what the problem is, and you know what the solution is, kolie. All that remains is to implement it.
