I'm sorry for another one of these "OMG! S/he's GAWN?!" threads, but...
Why was PapiBear banned? I reliaze it happened a week or two ago, but I just found out. What exactly was the final straw that broke the admin's backs? Any info is appreciated.
It was the fact that you could never talk to him. And the way he would post his topics, there was only 1 way you could respond. By admitting you didn't know as much as he did about race relations and racism. So in effect, all his posts were the same. And he argued with everyone. Or at least, he was aggressive with everyone. So, nobody really wanted to be bombarded with all his new topics. Because they would always go the same way. Hostility and unhappiness between him and the posters.
And he seemed to twist everyone's words around as well. So his responses were always the same. So, I guess since he just didn't want to change his ways, he had to relocate to another board. I've been banned myself from quite a few boards (and several boards more than once), and the reason they often give is that they have a Chemistry sort of system. Like a natural habitat. And if a foreign animal won't adapt to their native ways, they toss you out like yesterday's garbage. It's tragic, really.
The night before he was banned Luke had warned him about his threads and the next morning in retaliation he started around 10 threads about different news items when it could have been used in 1 thread
There were a great number of reasons that PapiBear was banned, which can all be summed up tidily in a simple statement that he was unable to adhere to the few posting guidelines we have in place here. There's really no reason to go into greater detail than that, as it merely opens a chapter that's been closed and invites said banned member to come back and defend himself. Suffice it to say, those who are unable to conduct themselves civilly are not welcome here.
