I officially resign from ILP

[phyllo]

Correct me if I am wrong but this appears to be FJ’s justification:

Whining about ‘free speech’ on a privately owned forum is like having sex on someone’s front lawn, and claiming some sort of sexual repression when they chase you off with a broom. You’re free to have sex with whomever you like that’s willing – not on my fucking lawn though. I don’t know what it was that Joker got banned for (it was only 24 hours, not a big deal). But if anybody whines ‘free speech’ about Eternal Savagery, I hope somebody finds out where you live and has sex in your bed while you’re sleeping in it, and cums all over it, and then when you get mad you get accused of limiting their sexual freedom, and you have to live in shame for the rest of your life for being a close-minded bigot who hates sexual freedom - plus you always have cum in your hair.

There is a policy for new members, and it was actioned accordingly. Anything else?

What is that policy and did FJ justify his actions based on that policy?

FJ’s actions were justified under our policy regarding new members.

Please do not make me have to lock this thread! but one more questioning of a moderating action and I will.

People taking jabs at one another is quite common on most discussion forums, including ILP. I’ve come to expect it. In my mind, it’s like Fight Club. You go there, not only expecting to get hit, but eager to get hit. And when someone hits you, you wear the bruises like a badge of honor. It’s like a sign of affection, it’s the guy telling you “you belong right in here. I like you.” And of course, you want to share the love, you want to give back. So you hit other people in return. It would be an insult if you didn’t hit or get hit.

That’s the way I see it. If some are too sensitive to take the brutality, I say either this isn’t the place for you or you haven’t been around long enough to recognize the deep love that underlies the superficial hate.

QFT dude, if you can’t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen, don’t whine about the interweb.

The concept of justice is a key component of philosophy. I wonder why some ‘philosophers’ have so much difficulty with it on this ‘philosophy’ site.

Possibly because they disagree with your version of justice?

Isn’t it fairly straight forward?
Policies in place… applied uniformly, blindly, consistently… punishment which fits the crime…escalating severity… an explanation from the judge.
The administrators are happy, the defendant is treated with respect, the plaintiff is satisfied, the mob mumbles agreement.

The ban was in accordance with ILP rules…

Yeah we both know though justice is subjective though. The plaintiff is mortified. Comes back and kills the Judge. Isn’t philosophy at the end of the day about discussing what justice is, what moral reason is?

At the end of the day, I think that philosophy is about creating a solution for real practical problems. Like handling problem posts and posters in a forum.

But I could be wrong.

Magsj, you don’t understand the rules. Sock puppets are not allowed. You can’t tell someone to just come back as a sock puppet. And instant perma bans are not the rules, either.

FJ should just say what was in his head. It’s ban worthy, not insta perma ban worthy. Someone can point to the rules as well. It is NOT in the ILP Forum Rules.

[gib]

There’s a difference between philosophizing about justice and practicing it. You don’t need to drag on an endless debate about justice before enforcing the rules.

[phyllo]

You mean shoot first and philosophize later?

But we didn’t even get philosophy after the fact. We got some juvenile nonsense from FJ and fallacies, libel and intimidation from MagsJ.
