Lying. For all my professed hatred of “spin-doctors,” I can be a very convincing one myself. I often feel that I need to thoroughly eradicate this trait, although at this point I might have a fairly difficult time stamping it out.

I do not fear death, but I will only welcome it when the next revolution succeeds.

It seems to me that the “self-identifying as a brocialist” was more a misplaced witticism on ETERNAL_PRISONER’s part than an unrepentant admission.
However, the other comments you cited are more than enough evidence to me that mediation is needed in this case.

Reply to What's something you don't understand about radical politics but want to know more about? by kore
I’ve never been able to ascertain what intersectionality is in the context of radical politics. Granted, I’ve never actually wondered about the term until now—let alone looked it up—but at this point I have seen it used in enough discussions that I should really know what it means.

Lol
Family reunions for me tend to follow this format—
Mom: (out of nowhere) Obama was a better president
Grandfather: no, reagan was
(massive argument ensues while I sit glowering in a corner and muttering about bourgeois democracy)

First of all—having just gotten back on the site after a short hiatus—I’d just like to say: Holy shit...
Second off, I wholly concur with your suggestions near the end. I’d honestly be more worried about the site if nobody actually had proposed anything yet.

It wasn't even that big of a deal until you blew it out of the water by banning him for it, a fact that you have come up with two explanations for and alternate between at any given moment. You've also acted extremely immature, which hasn't exactly been helping your case (since when anyone disagrees with you your response is either "this is brigading just like PK" or "so if I stirred shit up on a Maoist /f/ i wouldn't be banned," neither of which make any cohesive sense when related to the argument in question). At this point, you're being ridiculously petty, and an all-around defensive asshole to just about everyone here. I suggest you turn your computer off for a day or so, and listen to some classical music or something, because your temper is the only thing setting everyone else off.

That’s no argument to the contrary; indeed, it seems to indicate that you have given up. Should we assume that you have surrendered?

That’s a strawman, and you know it. You stated you banned them for “bringing old shit up”—now you’ve decided that it was because of shit-talking [anarchists], which sudo never did in the first place.

Is that a “yes” or a “no” vote?

My apologies, I did not read the log correctly.
Nonetheless, you did threaten him with a ban for contesting the rules, and whether or not that played a role in your later decision, “bringing up old shit” as you put it, is neither against the rules nor a bannable offense.

Well, when he contested it, you promptly banned him.
”If you don't like it you are welcome to leave, or you can try to ruin the place like they currently are and get banned. Ill leave the choice to you”
https://raddle.me/f/armedleft/15747/comment/20252 Those are your words exactly. He mentioned democracy on Raddle in response, and you said:
”Im threatening to ban you because you are shittingbthr place up. So if you want to keep doing that and causing drama go ahead but you are going to get banned”
https://raddle.me/f/armedleft/15747/comment/20258 You basically banned him for contesting the rules, which isn’t exactly the point of letting people express their opinions. If anything, that’s what a bourgie would do.

There are currently no records of sudo using the phrase “fascist trash” to describe anarchists. I should like to see some substantiation of your claims before I do anything to my vote.

I wholeheartedly vote no.
Was going to explain in edit, but someone basically wrote my thoughts already: https://raddle.me/f/armedleft/18008/comment/22944
If they should like to exclude ML/MLMs, they must implement such a rule by democratic vote. At the very least, sudo’s banning was an abuse of power.
