Opinion of Atlas banned posters poll #4: Libertas

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Straha 50% FF
Einzige 76.2% HP
AggregateDemand 85.7% HP

Libertas is a definite Freedom Fighter, and why on Earth he was rebanned after about two weeks when Einzige was around in his new incarnation for months is beyond me.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Slightly offputting and overbearing FF.

[Eraserhead]

Massive FF and a very interesting individual. 

[Lief 🗽]

Obvious FF. What happened to him was disgusting.

[Dancing with Myself]

Libertas was banned? Darn I must have been gone a while then.

FF, I liked the guy. He wasn't a creep like some people I knew on here who got the axe.

Bring him back!

Annoying attention whore

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

He got his chance and he blew it.

[RR1997]

Massive FF!

It was a tragedy that he was banned. Luckily he posts on AAD tho.

[Oakvale]

Was always a tedious tryhard and one of the all-time attention whores, the fact that he switched the way in which he expressed this from "paranoid Nazi" to "paranoid gay skank" is mildly amusing but not otherwise particularly important. The other funny thing to note is that his political opinions, as far as I can tell, have remained as utterly shallow and reactionary as they were back in 2011, just with a nominally "left" spin.

Plumping for the "grittiness" and deprivation of urban decay is a surefire HP vote from me.  Mind you, this doesn't mean he should have been rebanned.

Precisely.

Oh yeah, this too. There's few things more gross to me than middle class twerps jerking off about high crime and urban misery because they can treat those neighbourhoods as safari parks.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Horrible and horrible he's on AAD. 

[Ban my account ffs!]

Absolutely absolutely true.  And well said.

FWIW I consider this exact tendency to have been the worst thing about opebo.  (At least, the worst thing about him in his capacity as a poster rather than as a person- though it obviously also speaks quite ill of him as a person.)

i know i'm biased since we've always been on friendly terms but lets be fair here, he's not *brtd* level bad in terms of that. its more he misses a lot of the adult stuff that went away after 94 and has the perception that you could get away with more. its understandable that a gay male would fantasize about some time when the cops focused on snorting evidence in the locker room more than busting some party or bath house. its a little juvenile but its not like he takes it autistic levels

I think he's significantly worse than BRTD on that count, actually.  BRTD has some aesthetic attachment to marginal urban areas but doesn't actually say that we'd be better off if the Bronx Was Burning.

And, also, a lot of that adult stuff went away not merly because of broken windows and rising rents, but also because increased acceptance of gay people in the culture at large (as well as the connective power of the Internet) meant that there was less demand/need for that sort of underground.

Yes back in December 2010. He was unbanned a couple of months ago but promptly rebanned after making some explicit posts.

Leaving aside his actions as a poster, I genuinely thing he is someone who has been to hell and back personally and I can certainly indentify and understand the impact that such can have even if I do disagree with the way he sometimes acts as a result. Last summer when things where in the worst possible state for me, I found him to be rather supportive and encouraging. I'll judge him based on that.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Can't get enough of his tales of whoring around NY.  Luckily we have him in The Good Place to tell his selacious tales of depravity.

And I don't necessarily think enjoying the murky depths of urbia is indicative of middle-class privlige.  BRTD has said similar things, and the people rushing to "How dare you" him are just as tedious for thinking humility obligates hating these places.  

As you see, I can certainly understand that Camden, NJ is, in many ways, hell on Earth but still rather party there than some overextended dullsville like Medford.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

easily the best poster out of those polled so far
