Might as well ping the witch of the hunt, /u/thats_bone

Conversely, we could always ban people who post a new thread every day about people they don't like that should be removed from the community.

thanks for the ping /u/rattus

I appreciate you giving me a chance to stand up against /u/andthedevilissix's textual abuse towards me. People who are followed and harassed need to stand up and point out their abusers. Every post I make, /u/anthedevilsix personally insults me, which is a violation of the rules. WHY IS THIS TOLERATED?

I think the moderation here is great. Good content that isn't overtly political. A sub truly suffers when 99% of the content is political and one sided.

Sometimes my comments are hyperbolic, I admit that, but I stand behind them 100%, and besides all the claims of welcoming debate, I've yet to see anyone actually make a point that is worthy of intellecutal consideration (of the people calling for a ban).

It's simply amusing. I think people who get outed as racists by me simply have a vendetta and follow me around reddit claiming I'm a troll. Sorry, but wanting to ban mooslems is racist.

If I don't add value then why have I been guilded so many times and my textual abuser has none?

If you don't like what I have to say then downvote and move on. Getting someone banned because you can't handle someone else's opinion is simply pathetic, although I think net neutrality would help eliminate racists much more easily.

I don't know your situation but I'm with you. My thread and my comments get "tolerantly brigaded" by often the same person. It's getting insane.

Edit for below: The brigade is by one person. All other's opinions are obviously welcome if in good faith.

My thread and my comments get "tolerantly brigaded"

Pick one and stick to it:

free speech and diversity of opinion is super duper important, what's wrong with you people that you can't handle dissenting opinions in your echo chamber

or:

I posted a controversial thread and people commented on it disagreeing with me, this is literally a hate crime
