I can only think of two people that I know of who have been banned since I've been moderator, and it was because both of them had an absolute melt down behind the scenes. And as I said before, this extremely archaic "platform" is very easily and freely replicable if you want to create your own offshoot. Heck, if you put a bit of advertising into it, you'd probably create an even further reach than this forum has! It's not fair to hijack someone else's platform - and this was made in Carla's vision. Carla preferred the path of martyrdom/green ray, clearly. I think if her hand was on the ban button she would be extremely less lenient than we are now, because the type of language people get away with using towards each other here is far too extreme. People don't talk like this to each other in real life, and I think she would be shocked if she knew how people talk to each other behind a guise of anonymity on the internet. Maybe I'm being presumptuous, but I think we are too desensitized to being disrespectful towards each other, and our threshold for being disrespected is much higher on the internet. Carla was an old lady who, thank goodness, never really had to be a part of the free speech zone that is the world wide web. I'm under the assumption that Carla would be "on the side" of "SJWs" who seek "political correctness", these of course just being buzz words for "people who stand up to bullies who are mean to people".
Well obviously I don't agree with your interpretation here, and I don't have the time to create my own forum, so I think that is a bit of silly suggestion. But I understand why you'd want to get rid of me.
I was simply giving my two cents on a place I care about. I don't have the ability to hijack this place, so your concern is unjustified. I think you are making a lot of assumptions about Carla. But it is easy to put words in someones mouth when they aren't around. I see "SJWs" do that a lot as an appeal to authority, rather than logic.
SJW's are the bullies of the new world. Their mentality is: "if you don't agree with me, I will find a way to shut you down." But who needs logic, or free speech, when you have social justice?
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.
