So that’s what it was about! I’ve never been in a discussion that was eaten while I was scrolling!
Also, thanks for sparing me.

I’d not heard of this New-Age woo peddler, anti-vaxxer and MAGAt apologist before today. Given his reliance on false equivalencies and conspirascism it makes sense that the now-banned user (based on his history here) would be referencing him for support.
Also, it seems that when it comes to this anti-vaxx garbage, Charles is following in the footsteps of a Mayer Eisenstein – no apparent relation but a similarly repulsive individual.

User thisisfinedog has been given a brief timeout for writing posts with no other content than to throw barbs directly at users. Not agreeing with someone’s opinion does not make targeting the person giving it fair game, even if you are trying to be “witty”.

User Espry0n has been banned for making and supporting transphobic statements around biology being more important than gender identity, and worse statements I see no need to repeat here.

User SeamusAMurphy has been banned. Their plan went something like this:
“I’m going to write a controversial, offtopic rant in this post. I’m going to point out that I know it won’t go over well, too!”
Controversy ensues
“See how disappointing Boing Boing has become! Oh, woe!”
Their post, and the multi-reply rant that followed, may have been the purest, most perfect example of sea-lioning we’ve yet seen on the BBS.
My sympathies to the many, many people sapped by this energy-leeching process.
