How's the move to bristol going?
the app that launched a hundred thousand shit stories in newspapers
I don't want him back on twitter
i hope they ask your opinion before deciding whether to readmit him then.
What are you saying? I don't run twitter. He got banned - and has been before, though not permanently - because he promotes hate speech. Have you seen the kind of shit Leslie Jones has had to put up with?
i didn't say you did run twitter, and i would have been surprised to discover you did. i am saying your views matter not a jot to twitter.
no, because i don't expect it to be permanent. i imagine he'll find other platforms and carry on being a nasty piece of work
Don't tempt us so...
Twitter can only deal with its own users.
yeh well you're more confident than i that their decision is set in stone.
It isn't a question of confidence. As you noted that i said it is entirely possible he may create a sock. I don't know how Twitter's permaban's work, but at the very least this sends a message and as such I endorse it. Milo has had plenty of opportunities not to be a massively hateful cunt and everytime he's resorted to all kinds of bigotry.
i didn't say anything about a sock. i said i was less confident than you are that twitter's decision is set in stone. do you not see the difference between someone being banned and the banner overturning their previous decision, and someone using a sockpuppet account? fucking chalk and cheese, biscuitician, fucking chalk and cheese.
So you're saying that they could rescind their ban?
Are you sure that you really think only discussing things that have already happened is a sensible rule?
What do you mean?
I refer to you apparently suggesting to Pickman's model as his ban hasn't yet been rescinded then there is no point in discussing the possibility of it happening - possibly with references to other permabans being rescinded or something like that. Then, implicitly asking how you think that sort of approach would work on a discussion forum such as this.
I didn't say there was no point in discussing it. I said that there's nothing we can do about it if that's what Twitter decides. Either they rescind it or they don't. What else is there to say other than speculate on the probability of that happening. If you think it likley then that's your opinion, but so what? The substantive point is about a known hate speech advocate and a bigot with a well documented history of appalling behaviour finally being permabanned. What else is there to discuss?
What do you mean so what? You're the one who started a celebratory thread about his banning (a risky move considering...as was bringing up gamergate) and so any possibility of it being rescinded is clearly relevant whether there is anything that you can do about it or not. You didn't make the original ban either but that didn't stop you starting a thread about it. And if you don't want discussion, why start a thread? Put it in announce.
