Shut Discussionist down!...

349. Juries vote to hide stuff here all the time

which can be clicked on and viewed here as well. The only reason that that particular troll;s posts can be revealed is that he had enough prior posts so that his last 12 hours of posts weren't wiped out along with his existence. Exactly the same as here. You really think there aren't people here who wouldn't pat themselves on the back - or even vote to leave some of those posts? If so, you are fooling yourself.

As for why the poster was banned - the reason for banning posters on DU doesn't always state exactly why they were banned, either. DTG - whose threats are even more violently explicit (warning - major triggers) than The Doctor's were is always banned as a "troll" or "repeat troll" - even when (as has happened) he tracked members of MIRT IRL and threatened them in places completely unrelated to DU. He did not track me off of DU, but I was the target of several screeds on DU which were nearly identical to the one I've linked to. Even when it has been that extreme, the ban message is NEVER expressly because he made rape and death threats.

As for being dismissive take a stroll through ATA and look at Skinner's responses to people complaining about misogyny or homophobia - or about being stalked or bullied - and tell me with a straight face that his responses aren't every bit as dismissive.

You may have opinions about whether that is how things should be handled, but I see no significant difference between discussionist and DU.

The only reason Discussionist impacts DU, or vice versa, is because individuals on each site keep poking at individuals on the other site - or at the other site in general.
