I agree with them whole-heatedly intellectually but I despised Yon so much I don't think I could have stayed true to those principles if this were my forum. I regretted that he/she/it had not provided us with a high-resolution photograph of him/her/it self so that I could copy it and paint a likeness at the bottom of my toilet.
I still very much want to know in what way Yonadav was trans, and if this informed his views on women in some way.
I have no idea why it would even matter, but he claimed he was born male, transitioned to female, lived as a female and then began living as a male again, still happy with his female parts. Now you know.
Wow I just read this whole thread and I'm getting quite a bit of deja vu. These are my thoughts and they are just thoughts and nothing more I'm not trying to tell people what to do or anything like that.
I believe Yonadav is first and foremost trolling for effect, this is from my experience of him on TTA, then on AD and now here on AF. On all three forums he has displayed and behaved in similar ways, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind the dude is a hardcore misogynist, his atrocious behaviour towards Aliza on TTA is testament to that, but I don't think he is racist though as I've never seen anything that leads me to think he is, unless I've missed something major which is possible.
On TTA he got off to a bad start but he did settle down after a bit and became quite affable, I got on quite well with him for a while until he reverted to old behaviour leading me to think the guy does indeed have some significant psychological issues but..... first and foremost he's a troll and possibly a troll that's addicted to trolling and associated attention seeking behaviours.
He is not being castigated and called out just because he holds controversial opinions he's being called out and castigated as a misogynistic disruptive troll who deliberately baits people so he can feed off their reaction and the only way to stop that is
1)Starve him of the oxygen of attention, reaction, publicity etc by ignoring him which on a large forum is difficult to achieve.
2) Place him in special measures or on some form of probation and hope his behaviour improves.
3) Ban him from the forum.
4) Do nothing and accept that he's a member with a shitty attitude.
Personally I think the last option is best, after all you all put up with Dritch and he's at least as poisonous as Yonadav and possibly more so in some ways
Well, I dunno what happened at TTA or AD with him, didn't catch that. Can you point me to the place of many laughs?
But he wasn't banned here. He went off on his own. Good riddance IMHO. One less self entitled idiot around. I also agree that #4 is the better way.

A genuine what?

It was pretty much the same thing as here on AF, with him generally acting like a misogynistic ass hat, I can't remember if he got banned from TTA or AD he may well have, Mathilda would know so maybe she might chime in to provide clarification, my memory is terrible I'm afraid.

I saw that, and it didn't bode well from the get go, not my responsability, not anymore. I was asking for the AD dramatitties, since TTAF went belly up. For funsies. I need to be reassured there are ones way beyond my level of crazy.

It's another thing to generalize a person's humanity and keep saying they are a piece of shit. Let's break down a recent example:
While your compassion might bring a tear to my eyes, I simply do not have the time nor patience for this sort of sensibilities. Had I been so weak to suicide over an internet comment, it might be a recursive effect. I have contemplated suicide before and none for the weak minded foolishness of an internet insult. It usually runs deeper than that.
If you want to be a saint, be it all you want, but suicide as the definition goes comes from a personal decision. Who do you think you are, to posit the thoughts of others? The reasons of others? Just who the fuck you think you are?
