He was being obtuse on the single biggest hot-button issue in internet society. This is what is generally known as "trolling" or "flame-baiting", when it's intentional. When it's unintentional, it's still a problem because then you get actual arguments.

Don't think it's the single biggest issue on 'tinternet.

You should be a red top journo, sensationalizing like that.

Not biggest issue, biggest hot-button issue. Meaning it's the most prone to causing arguments.

Having others argue against your position is not ban-worthy. Intentional flaming, sure. Being the one smashed down - as I'm sure he was, here on Bay12, where I have been called both sexist and racist many times (though mainly by the now-banned) - shouldn't earn a ban in itself.

Combined with other deviant activities, like creepy pictures, or a history of causing, rather than participating in, flamey arguments would be more likely.

Certainly the only thing that really ever causes major arguments on this thread, as far as I can see.

TBH, I will not miss Bohandas. I disagreed with him, but his arguments were simple and one-note as well. Like, Baby's First Rebuttal levels of debate.

Also, I just looked at the moderation log for the first time. So THAT'S what happened to all those names I used to see around here. :(

Toady didn't delete his posts, so if you want to see for yourself what happened, go back to here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=68850.msg6795021#msg6795021

That's where it started. It goes on for quite a few pages. After you see the Spock picture, you'll be almost done - Bohandas makes two more posts on the subject afterwards.

See, now I'm wondering if you're talking about something I read when it was originally posted, or something I missed.

Oh that one.

That was him being ... really damn blunt. Wouldn't personally call it creepy, he just didn't give a fuck about what was an acceptable thing to talk about.

The original post was deleted for a reason! :o

Broke guidelines. Not much of a big deal, just creepy. If penguin doesn't PM you, I'll send you what they sent me.
