Nothing. But being a bigoted, narrow-minded, conspiracy loving, religiously fanatical, dishonest, woefully ignorant, abusive dung heap of a human being is not a banning offense.
If Drich is ever banned for anything other than breaking the forum Rules, I’ll resign as a moderator.

But isn't this topic about Drich claiming that protests are being organized by secret Soviet society dating back from Stalin and Germany in 1930s (instead of people simply being angry at police brutality) actually trolling?
I mean, if Drich opened here a topic claiming that riots were organized by aliens from Saturn, would it be also seen as Drich's "honest" opinion and people would waste their time trying to dissuade him as he throws personal insults at them; or would it have been closed, or maybe moved to conspiracy sub forum? And if so why is this different?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
