No one's going to get arrested or in any way punished for this. Trump included.

Well, unless they actually do manage to keep Trump in office. Then there will be punishments, but not for the people we're hoping for.

If you use ignore rather than block, can they still post in the topic?

Cause I have a couple people ignored just so that I can stop myself from getting into flame wars with them, and I want to say I've made politics topics.

On the other, tell me what else he could have said that would had a chance of getting them to listen?
We're not here to grade him on some curve, but even if we were he failed miserably.

This is about doing what is right.

Yeah. Ignore just means you don't see their posts. Block means they don't see your posts either.

Yes. But the point of blocking is removing the other user's ability to interact, which Nanis clearly deserves at this point.

Yeah. You can ignore from the drop down menu from clicking their name and additionally if you go the drop down under your name that lists various account options, under friends list it shows the various categories.

no, this has been talked about repeatedly regarding ulti.
he's legitimately the singular figure that we argued about this stuff.

You can think everybody magically agreed to some policy, but they hadn't, because the reaction to the incident with me/Chris wasn't "oh no it's policy not to block people," it was "Iunno Chris it's kinda unfair to block him for something dumb and then make topics," and then the rest of us agreed.

You're going to bat for a troll who tries to be as offensive as he can on purpose, and whose initial post literally was "you're only calling these guys terrorists because they're trumpers you stupid fucks"

Would it be Wang if he didn't show up and go to bat for the alt-right/adjacent shit though? That's why he doesn't really need to be taken seriously here.

well yeah because the conclusion to the ulti fights was basically jakyl's policy as what ought to be. like we kept circling that wagon again and again. if people were just going 'iunno chris, kinda unfair' then bluntly people don't like to stand up to chris that much.

You're going to bat for a troll who tries to be as offensive as he can on purpose, and whose initial post literally was "you're only calling these guys terrorists because they're trumpers you stupid fucks"

and in said first post he literally said "if i can condemn both sides..." and followed it up to, in this very topic regarding the trumpers storming the capitol:

"They ARE terrorists
But BLM violence riots and Antifa are terrorists as well."

it's a bizarre both sides-ism with zero understanding of the difference in scale/scope.

but of course i'm going to bat for him. just as i've gone to bat for the other guys blocked too: that's the right standard.

i had to double check this because it legit sounds like twitter bullshit.
it's not.

https://twitter.com/abughazalehkat/status/1346922389066698754

and somehow worse.
"...and one of the points that the demonstrators are making, is that this is different from the BLM type demonstrations because, aside from some of the things getting broken into the capitol, and disregarding the reports now of the woman who was shot, but aside from the things that were broken getting into the capitol in terms of doors, they say there is no vandalism taking place. this is people sending a message. and again, i'm just reflecting their viewpoints and the people..."

now the reporter immediately followed up that claim with a "this is what they're saying" as seen above.
but holy shit.

It's not zero understanding. He does it on purpose. He does the exact same thing every time, like clockwork.

"*Offensive post*"
"No, Nanis."
"shutup fucks"
"No, Nanis. Fuck off."
"wait me no understand"
"Let us explain it to you again"
"*Bails*"

two-three weeks later, rinse-wash-repeat.
