She kept blocking me for no good reasons. I merely post a reply, and a one or nine hour block comes. And then the vandal bin. Utterly unwarranted. And do explain how citing The New American constitutes such a horrible crime. Yeesh. UShistoryanalyzer (talk) 16:08, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Nobody gives a shit. Shut the fuck up, please. Pizza SLICE.gifChef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 16:14, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
At this point, USHistoryanalyzer, you are no longer getting returns on this coopings. I am simply not active enough to enforce the site's ideals, nor do I desire to be that active. Yes, they should not be blocking or binning you. It is at best immature and is really just intellectual cowardice antithetical to what RationalWiki is about. But what you're doing is clearly not changing anything-Hastur! (talk) 16:31, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
You're citing, as you often have, a source with not much interest in factual reporting.[1] If you could muster up the capacity to find fact-based right-wing reporting, you might get a better response from someone. However, at this point you've annoyed enough people that you're not likely to get the benefit of the doubt. Bongolian (talk) 17:38, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
What policy has this user violated that justifies binning or blocking him? It looks to me like the cool kids are just ganging up on him. Nutty Roux (talk) 18:27, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
To the OP: you are a supposed history analyzer. If you really were, you know that the John Birch Society is probably most famous for calling Dwight D. Eisenhower a commie, and being so paranoid and conspiracy ranting about Commies that Bob Dylan directly made fun of them. You don't deserve to be blocked for that, for sure (if you were edit warring over your bullshit as you have in the past, that's another story). But calling them "biased towards the truth", well, that's a position to be mocked for sure. PanGalacticGargleBlaster (talk) 18:29, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
I tried so hard to be patient with this user and stop people from treating him in a way that I thought was unfair. I’m so done with that now. Pizza SLICE.gifChef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 18:42, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
As DuceMoosolini indicated, this goes beyond differing opinions and into the realm of trolling/shitposting. Bongolian (talk) 18:46, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── [edit conflict] I'll reiterate what I said in there last frivolous ATiM filing - isn't there a way we can sanction them to only allow 1 of these posts per week or month? --Gale5050 (talk) 18:46, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

I don't think there is currently any automated way to do that. It would require modifying the vandal bin code, something unlikely to happen for a single user. Bongolian (talk) 18:51, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
(EC)My big problem with Ushit is that no matter how many times they are called out or punished for their behavior they never learn a damn thing and return to their old behavior. They are a bigot (in the traditional sense of the term) and ultimately they provide nothing positive. They had several major sanctions imposed on them and nothing changed their behavior. It's probably best for this user to be moved on until they can make an attempt to improve their behavior. Unclescrooge at least did make an attempt for a short time, while Ushit has done no such thing, so Ushit is worse that Scrooge for what I am concerned. Plutocow (talk) 18:52, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
@Bongolian and Plutocow It would be a social restriction, with long bans (week or more) for each violation. --Gale5050 (talk) 18:57, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Honestly, we've tried pretty much every other sanction, and none have done anything to improve his behavior. A long-term ban may be the only solution. Plutocow (talk) 19:15, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
The cool kids ganging up on someone? WTF? I honestly do not know a single other non-garbage website or wiki that has this much patience with blatant trolling troublemakers before they start sanctioning them and calling them out. You don't have to break a specific rule for the mob to get fed-the-fuck-up with repeating bullshit falsehoods, abusing the ATIM and coop, trashing the wiki and its users and toxifying this place. It is utterly flabberghasting that someone could characterise our responses to USHistoryanalyzer's dipshittery as "the cool kids ganging up on them". Zheesh. ShabiDOO 19:15, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Y'know he has a point. Let's officiate some sort of sanctions in the Chicken coop. It's gotten to that point. Techpriest (talk) 19:33, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
