OP is a great case study into why good forums have validation subforums. Not because he's a reactionary conservative necessarily (though that is a great reason to ban someone), but because he is utterly incapable of discussing in any kind of good faith. That's not a dig, it's a statement of observation.

 

It's just not worth anyone's time to meaningfully pretend they can debate someone who will very explicitly state that they are not going to consider viewpoints other than their own, and then demand you consider theirs. Like, even if your points are good, which this guy's aren't, demanding that your feelings be enforced as dogma across an internet forum for one dude's youtube show because you're angry that you have to see those differing opinions is ridiculous. Even I don't do that, I only want the fash to get banned because of the actual tangible threats that platforming hate speech poses.

If this post gets banned or I get a point against my account I will dump my used motor oil into the river in the city downstream from mine. You WILL pay for your arbitrary "justice", jannies!

This is definitely a guy threatening to commit a crime if some forum doesn't ban anyone he calls a liberal, isn't it? I'm not exactly sure if that violates the rules, but I just wanted to type that sentence out and make you all read it just to appreciate how ridiculous this situation is. I also think it's funny that he often tries to take the moral high ground over liberals, while unambiguously saying "I'm going to pollute a river on purpose if you don't conform to my beliefs". Love of Christ showing real strongly right there.

Ross, you'd better get in here and set your mods straight or I will stop using this site, I'll withdraw my monthly donation and I will stop recommending your channel to friends who I've had significant success with as far as getting you new viewers.

It's insulting to threaten criminal action if a forum doesn't enforce your dogma, it's insulting to threaten to leave or pull a donation for the same reason, but it's even more insulting to treat Ross or the mods as so utterly spineless as for there to be any chance your bluff would work. You might just as well demand absolute control over all the Accursed Farms' sites and twitter accounts be handed over to you personally, and everyone needs to send you money.
