He joined another atheist forum (that I am a member of) many months ago, and got biffed for preaching by an admin. He disappeared so I thought maybe he had been banned. But he just "discovered" that he's a member over there and is making a nuisance of himself already. His stuff will likely end up in the "Dump Pile of Crazy Troll Posts".
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

The banning is most likely a mere fortification for his beliefs: they banned me because they couldn't handle the truth.

I would suggest a captcha for personality disorders, like identify the picture with other people's perspectives. But that could seriously limit content.
We all saw enough to know the guy's a whack job. Rattle his cage and he barks for days.

Drich's biggest sin was his contention that Cosby's drug and rape victims were not really victims because they should have known what they were getting into. That is a disgusting point of view, but would probably be more prevalent if this discussion were taking place in the 70s or 80s.
People won't just change their views because we ban them.
No, they won’t. But members of the forum who are survivors of sexual assault shouldn’t have to be subjected to his harmful rhetoric.
That’s a slippery slope when one of the main reasons I see in a lot of intros on this forum is trauma from religious guilt and fear. Replace sexual assault with religion and that would make a case for having no believers on the forums.

I’m aware it hasn’t been, I was just remarking on the slipperiness of said slope.
