So that banning was actually rather prudent. But yes, it happened.
I honestly can't say I'm surprised.
But, whatever. Their site, their movement, their idea of social justice, and it's all crashing and burning. When you have an ideology like this but you don't bother telling people about it, things tend to die out on you. Any ideology wants to spread to prosper. Instead of finding new recruits, they're automatically rejecting anyone who might hurt people's feelings. One of the things I've learned about internet forums is that people come and go. I know there have been a few forums that are still quite active that I've kinda drifted away from. I also know that we've had a lot of people who have been on these forums and been very active members who simply don't post anymore. Their problem will be that when old posters leave, they aren't going to be able to get any new posters until and unless they open up a little. As of right now, opening up is about the last thing they seem to want to do.
