User FFabian given a brief timeout for casual nationalistic generalizations bordering on casual racism. There’s not a large gap between “Americans are too X to fight COVID19” and “The Chinese culture is the root of this problem”.
Generalizing entire national populations contributes nothing to any conversation here.
This isn’t the first time this user has indulged in that ugly behaviour, but it’s especially distasteful during a crisis that affects all humans.
On a related note, I hope that you and your family are well and that your city is keeping its curve as flat as possible.
User Fang given a brief timeout for being the third user this week resorting to flinging expletives at other users.
I will keep repeating this:
I know everyone’s tempers are short, but telling off other users is not an appropriate outlet for that anxiety. We are all going through this together.
User Papasan is next on that list, because it’s going to be one of those days, clearly.
Seriously - if you have an guidelines issue with a post, flag it. If you have an issue with a position you can only respond to by directly insulting the poster, resist the urge.
User Throg has been asked not to return after:
Look, you want to argue something like this is pandering, fine, but you do yourself no favours when you then point out that you also happen to be a misogynistic asshat at the same time.
As always, thanks for your excellent moderation!
User cannibalpeas given a brief timeout for griping at the Authors and expressly asking to be put on the list.
You don’t want to be on the list.
It’s Schrodinger’s List anyway - if you want to be on the list, you’re automatically ineligible to be on it.
Simultaneously disappointed and not disappointed, until somebody looks inside?
Living in a state of both disappointment and lack of disappointment, until one is on the list, in which case one was always disappointed, or not on the list and thus always not disappointed.
Will I end up on the list if I admit that sometimes I’m less than thrilled?
We are all sometimes less than thrilled. I am unable to express it as cutely as that gif, however.
i’m out of the loop - what is “the list”?
people banned? (i don’t wanna be on that one for the record)
so they demand actresses be unnatturally proportioned/weighted, then yell at them for being so? what the fuck kind of logic is that?
I prefer the original pokemon, but i think it was good gold/silver didn’t force you to be a boy (and i’m glad that shift came before twitter!)
i don’t want to be on the list but i like looking at it
negative scoreboard is still a scoreboard.
Didn’t know there was an actual list, but being familiar with the “you’re not saying you’re disappointed in BoingBoing, are you?” jab, I expected this list to be a lot longer!
Are you disappointed it isn’t longer?
User snigs has been given a timeout for attacking other users.
