NOTE: Hamilton has expressed an ongoing lack of clarity on the cause of his most recent banning (and the one before it).
So, let me make it clear:
Stay away from other posters' personal real life events, families, and friends.
This does not forbid expressions of sincere condolences. (But does cover "I'm sorry your spouse died of stupidity" and other forms of fake comfort.)
Anybody other than Hamilton have any doubts about what this means?!
He knows.
He just does not care
Dick 2 doubles down on Dick 1 post
We get it - you don't appreciate Ham Sam. Get over it and converse with him - or just let him converse with others. The juvenile shit is maddening.
Your inspired defense of your fellow racist is moot, Kid.
The rule is just
not that tough to manage. It wasn't invented for Ham. It's not original to this message board. And he is not the only one to have been given a time out for it, for all that he is by far the worst offender and the most in denial of it.
I
don't appreciate Hamilton. I agree with some of his politics, I find many of his posting habits revolting, and I find when he bothers that he writes extremely well.
But there are posters I appreciate far less than him. I find them consistently disingenuous and tedious. They repeat lies without apology. They admit mistakes even less often than Ham does, while making them more often.
But they don't get temporary bans, let alone the quasi-permanent one that I could have reenacted when Ham came back in violation of the permanent ban, using a new IP address.
So, no, Kid, I am not going to undo that policy. It isn't new, just newly stated in so many words here.
No, Kid, I don't ban Ham because I don't like him. I ban him because he breaks the rules.
Your inability to process that is about as predictable as his refusal to admit when he has screwed up - or, when admitting it, then blaming others for his future transgression, as if he had no volition.
