lol i got banned. hello again.

that's my first ban on era too. i'm a good boy!
So 2 unhinged members said 'fuck you' to him, and blamed him for the state of the country. Now he is banned with no ban message. Iv wonder what word salad they will come up with to justify it. Maybe the trusty 'junior account' since he has only been a member since the sites inception and 'only' has 600 posts.
Here we go:
User banned (1 week): Derailing a sensitive thread about suicidal thoughts
Trying to reason with an unhinged outrage machine that is leading it's members to the brink of suicide is now considered derailing.
The full reason for my ban is "In a thread about a member's suicidal thoughts, making the thread about yourself and your views on Kavanaugh was highly insensitive and derailed the thread."
In my initial post, I was pointing out that much of the reasoning for OP's suicidal thoughts was faulty (imo). Is giving a more positive perspective "highly insensitive"? I dunno, maybe it is just better to say "I know how you feel but I feel that way too so keep your head up m'kay? Even though you're totally right about America being evil and all.". But I would think you would want an actual reason to feel better.
And then when I saw my posts starting to drift from the topic, I apologized for the derail and said I'll leave, which I did. And then got banned anyway.
Oh well. Fun to visit here and see y'all already talking about me though.

I still like Era for what it is. Reddit has the better level of discourse, but my interests align almost 1:1 with Era's, so it's just nice having a reliable news feed without all the junk you get from subscribing to subreddits.
