He generally grasses himself up. But besides that, the only reason he keeps needing to reregister is that he refuses to apologise for taking the piss out of disability hate-crime. He's not Fred West, no, but he is supposed to be a grown adult.

I don't think he should have been banned for that - he was already spectacularly losing the said argument. It's better to out argue someone than ban them for disagreeing with you.
 
He hasn't even got a chance to apologise before people go running to teacher and these people are supposed to be grown adults?

Can't even remember what he was supposed (or did) to have said.

Not the thread for this but it's as boringly repetitive as his appearances and outing.

He could apologise at any time by emailing the mods.

He did not believe that disability hate crime existed and started calling people liars.
 
Meh.

I have heard arguments against classifying some crimes as hate crimes by SCOPE and NSPCC of all people but I forget the details - it was back on MATB. It was food for thought and again not really the thread for it.

Keep him banned if you want but grassing? Haddawaynshite!
 
She's not evil. Hitler was evil, Laurie's just growing up in an age where all her mistakes are documented. She might be a bit silly and naive but she's not evil.

Although I would say her selfishness, narcissism, thirst for self-promotion and willingness to do whatever it takes to defend her wadical image regardless of the consequences for others can often be difficult to distinguish from the less extreme forms of evil.
 
I know you didn't, but as soon as someone new posts on this thread the chants of LLETSA! LLETSA! Start.

Anyway, back to media bubbles and Laurie Penny's battle cries on twitter.

who has actively grassed though? People just went 'lol its lletsa again'

this has happened before but his fake nose and tash stayed in place cos no mod clocked it. For a bit.

Did anyone actually press the stasi button here?

I generally agree with that. The problem is that this can turn them into very effective trolls, which was highly inappropriate for that thread. Mrs M saw red and I don't blame her.

Like every other bannee, all he has to do is apologise for being a dick and he can have login back.

Sometimes it takes a bit more than that if you anger the gods. I doubt Swarthy will ever be allowed back for example. With good reason. He is like Fred West.

LLETSA was a wanker in that thread; perhaps, but he had made far more of a contribution than not outside of that thread. I for one miss him.

(know the thread you are on about now but TBH I only really skim read it at the tme)
 
Sometimes, yes. Possibly now true in LLETSA's case, but it was not true at the point he was banned (AFAIK).
 
Presumably because they're not stupid enough to carry on after a mod has asked them to shut the fuck up. Plenty do get banned in those circumstances; three on one thread last week, all of them back and posting under their own names again this.

sometimes the mods dont see what they've wrote tho.

Yeah it really does take a bit more than asking nicely tbh!
 
ANYWAY...

Well, no. They're not paid to read each and every post made. They're not paid at all. There's no point trying to argue that LLETSA shouldn't have been banned because others have got away with worse.

Besides, I've never seen anyone get away with ignoring a direct warning from a mod and getting away with it. I'm not a fan of the ban hammer but there's a limit to how much they can do to protect threads that others want to use for serious discussion if a poster is determined to continue being a dick on them.
 
This seems to fit on this thread. Laurie Penny like levels of me, me, me from Richard Seymour of the SWP (not for long though lol):

SEYMOUR! said:
McDonald's had better sign me up for an advertising campaign, because I am loving it. Newsweek, having mysteriously overlooked my previous work, has just reviewed Unhitched. Newsweek is massive; therefore I am massive. Fuck Bono. Fuck Bob Geldoff. The next Live 8 is hosted by me. And what a review. It is the most deliciously splenetic fanboy tribute to unreasoning hysteria that it has ever been my pleasure to glhttp://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/alex-callinicos-swp-vs-laurie-penny-new-statesman-facebook-handbags.266196/page-487#post-12043158oat about. I wasn't prepared for an opportunity like this, but I won't pass it up all the same.
