Quite how the mods there interpreted your posts in the way they did is beyond me. You did have plenty of actual fascists to argue with which I’m sure will not have been doing your mental health any good so perhaps it’s a blessing.

So you are actually banned? Temp or perm?

(I used the HSV section of PH when I had the VXR8, but never used much outside of there and haven’t been active on there for years).

Yeah, permanently banned (on two accounts now, after I posted under a new name to ask why I had been banned ). Original account was banned for hate speech/incitement.

full disclosure I had copped 2 temp bans after some heated discussion in the thread about what’s happening in gaza.

Neither was for anything I said about Israel but I let myself get baited into personally insulting people, which they then reported.

The perm ban came after this comment in a thread about folk not having children that had got a bit ideological. (please don’t ban me matty)

Which was a ref to replacement theory.

I had acquired a bit of a fan club over the course of my time posting there and can only assume that one of them has some sway with the mods. It’s happened to a few other more progressive posters in NP&E.

As Jobbo said, it’s probably for the best. That argumentative streak of mines isn’t my healthiest trait .

You never want to be 'known' on there because there are too many weirdo stalkers. Bit like Twitter I guess

ZedLeg - so left wing, he appears on the righthand side of the stage...

There is the horseshoe theory, that extreme left & extreme right are actually quite close to each other.

I’ve always thought that horseshoe theory was invented by centrists so they can justify doing fuck all tbh

So two PHers discovered that doing it back to back isn't as exciting as when they were in their respective boys boarding schools, and one of them had a hissy fit over it on the internet?

What a bunch of weirdos. And yes, I know that's not what it's about, but dear lord that place is tedious to read.

Anyway, Twitter tried to replace twitter links with x links and it went about we well as you'd expect. This is amateur hour stuff, even by my standards, which is hilarious because I'm not even a developer.
