Typically left wing . . . presume that anyone who wants to ban someone does so because they are deficient in some way. For example, if they want to ban someone on a forum, presume it’s because they are hypersensitive snowflakes afraid of criticism / opposite views. In fact, go so far as to adopt the position that whoever wants to ban someone is an overly-controlling authoritarian, fascist, dictator.
I have to say though, a growing number of those who identify as right wingers subscribe to that view as well. On this forum alone, we have people such as Pedro / Pezer / Origami, Urwrong / Aeon / Wizard and Humanize who have adopted the same exact anti-social attitude. ( That they have a million different user names is a testimony to that fact. )
The thing is that, every activity is defined by the set of rules ( = limitations ) that it adheres to. When you change the rules, you change the activity.
The game of chess, for example, is defined by a set of rules known to all of us. In order for a game to be, and to remain, a game of chess, both participants must abide by the rules, which basically means they must limit their freedom of action in certain ways. You’d no longer call it a game of chess if your opponent started arbitrarily moving, adding and / or removing pieces on the board. You’d call it loss of interest at best and cheating at worst.
Ideally, if you want to engage in a social activity of some sort – an activity that requires more than one participant – you’d look for participants for whom you’re sure that 1) they understand the rules, 2) they can abide by the rules, and 3) they are willing to do so. If you can’t do that, which is often the case with social venues such as this forum, you have to let everyone in and make sure that someone is overseeing everything in order to ensure that noone is being disruptive. You’d need someone who’d be able to spot violations and to properly deal with them.
If a bunch of people start talking at cinema, and you complain about it, does that mean you’re a sensitive snowflake and a fascist dictator incapable of tolerating diversity? If a cinema has staff that will kick you out if you chat with your friends while the movie is playing, would you say they are fascist dictators? Why don’t you just let people talk and focus on the movie? What’s the big deal? Or suppose you want to sleep but your neighbour is being loud. Why complain about it? Why not simply ignore the noise? Why do you need silence in order to sleep? It’s not like you’re going to do die. Man the fuck up.
The fact of the matter is that you don’t care enough about how your actions affect other people which is evident in your quickness to dismiss other people’s complaints. You never seriously investigate. You don’t bother to. You already know. You already have all of the answers.
What social norms did you break, Kropo?

You know that there are Trump supporters on this forum. Yet, you keep referring to him as “IQ45”. You do it every single time. Every single chance you get. Do I have to explain why this is a big “No” and not a fair use of your freedom to speak?

You assert your views way too much. You’re too confrontational. You start too many threads. You say too many things at once. You repeat yourself too much. And you never, ever, care about whether there’s anyone out there who wants to listen to you – and if they do, what is it that they actually want to hear from you. You don’t give a damn about why other people disagree with you. You don’t listen, you don’t address other people’s points, you easily dismiss what other people say, you don’t present arguments in defense of your claims and so on. In general, you don’t do dialogs. All you do is stand on your soap box and preach. And you absolutely don’t give a damn. You see it as your right / freedom to do whatever the hell you feel like doing at the moment.
And you’ve been doing the above for years – for many, many, years.
