Ban Mike Naso (yes, you read correctly)

[Californian Tony]

Well, Emperor (the far-right Polish moron) was banned for praising the murders in Norway, so naturally Naso should be banned for praising murders as well.

If only Emperor had been French, he could probably have found himself a decent job with Gallimard.

What are you referring to? I haven't heard about such a thing.

I. Am. Speechless.

     Like BRTD suggested earlier, I don't think Naso understood that the communist was the killee and not the killer in that photo. I could add more, but I won't.

As I said, it's obvious that's not the case if you read the original thread in context and Naso knew exactly what it was so...

It is obviously inappropriate to post a picture like that. But let us remember that a) we don't ban people for advocating murder. If we did we would have to ban people like Opebo and BRTD. b) I don't think that infamous event from the Vietnam war is as clear-cut a case of murder as would be required to ban someone.

When have I been advocating murder?

I'm glad Phil isn't around this week or this thread would have gone nuclear (or nucular, if you're George W. Bush).

Or Sarah Palin.

Or Edward Teller. Or Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Or Dwight Eisenhower. Or Jimmy Carter.

I tend to think Naso should be punished more often for his BS, but like I said earlier, I've never thought he deserved an outright ban because unlike other posters, he's usually not outright offensive, just a delusional nuisance. He should probably be infracted more often (and that post with the picture obviously should receive max infraction points) but banning is a bit much at this stage. What should be done about him in general is the mods telling him to grow up; and if he doesn't over more time, then discuss banning. But I'm not an atlas forum bigwig, I don't make the rules.

     My bad. Stuff like this is why I try to avoid the bad parts of the forum, so I don't know the context that it was posted in and am happy for it.

This, and for the record, while I find him appalling, I opposed the efforts to ban BRTD.

Did he get banned or did he just get banned in that dream I had the other night?

Did he get banned or did he just get banned in that dream I had the other night?

Just a wet dream, friend

I guess we can only dream.
