I don't only ban people who stalk me, I hope I didn't say that- I also ban people I don't want to talk to (especially on some of my more personal threads- where I CLEARLY say that). I consider my time on SI my own, and I clearly state my moderation is whimsical- I like to talk to people I like- and the only difference between me and other people is, I'm honest about it.
I like my threads dead- it's better then seeing them alive with posts I don't want to read. You may not understand that, but it's what I like. Censorship has nothing to do with it- you can talk anywhere you like on SI, you can start your own thread- the only thing I have influence over is my threads, and whether you can talk to me. That's hardly censorship- that's simply the right to socialize where I want to. I really fail to see how exercizing a private right of free association is censorship- if I controlled the world, then it would be. I don't want to discuss anything with you on my threads- and I can't say I want to after reading your most recent post. Clearly you enjoy me, more than I enjoy you. Sorry about that, but your probably not going to be able to change that.
Best of luck in finding someone else to post to.
I don't understand why you care- about my threads, or about how I moderate them, I really don't. I don't care a bit about being banned- and would never post where I wasn't wanted anyway. Start a thread- don't whine to me or about me. You are a free agent- I don't control your life, or your posts, or your ability to do anything you want to on SI.
Good luck with your continued career as a poster on SI- may it blossom into something that makes you truly happy. I mean that- I just don't want to have to be part of your dream, ok? |
