The fine print of the sanctions... of course

It's not like we actually want to resolve anything.

Quit Mobbing Ari -- UPDATED
UPDATE: Since I posted this journal entry, new allegations against aristarchus have been made public by the site staff. If these new allegations are true, then I can only say that I am very disappointed in aristarchus. I consider the alleged behavior unacceptable regardless of any possible justification.
I am leaving the original contents of my journal entry below (in the "spoiler" section), as the words reflect my views based on the information that was publicly available to me at the time I wrote them. I also want to restate my belief that mobbing someone by following the actions of your peers and downmodding comments based on the author rather than the content is unethical.
There, I said it. Quit mobbing Ari. I don't support his alleged methods but I do enjoy his philosophy posts and agree, mostly, with his politics. I also have to confess to the guilty pleasure of finding some of his putdowns very, very funny.
I get you're all sick and tired of the offtopic complaints. Some of the downmodding probably is deserved, but if you take a look at his comment history, particularly on his journal, he is being systematically downmodded over and over now (I mean, modding someone down on their own journal, other than in the most exceptional cases, is just petty). He's had plenty of punishment now guys. Don't drive him away from the site or prevent him from posting at all from his account. I'm not the only one that enjoys his more positive contributions.
This community needs characters like Aristarchus. Too many Soylentils have been leaving. So quit it. He'll most likely calm down if you stop persecuting him.
Biden is a lame duck president
So, he has a year remaining, what's left for him to do?
He's already taxing the billionaires
And he is leaving us with this bit of lovely dystopia.. Nice juicy target there... How much longer will they be able to deny they've been hacked?
