Thanks! It's good to be back. So far...

I wonder if I'm on anyone's foes list.
What does having a "foe list" do for you on this board?

Hides a person's posts, mostly. Although you can actively choose to see them if you want. Good for really spammy, annoying people (like me) or people whose posts are so enragingly wrong that you know it'll short circuit your brain and get into dumb internet bickering even against your better judgement (also like me).

How many people still have Steve on their foe list despite his banishment?

What year was that? I feel like I missed a lot of that kerfuffle for some reason.

Fucking foe lists give me a break. How very punk rock.

Ooooh don't annoy me or I'll put you on my foe list. :rolleyes:


As for Steve he has requested a few times to be accepted back here. And has shown contrition and knows he was in the wrong and is happy and more than willing to apologise.

I'm disappointed that we as a community haven't been able to show forgiveness and let him have a second chance.

Four years ago? It was at Easter, as I recall.

I don't know what happened, I was not around that time. I should then keep my mouth shut but a scene from Peaky Blinders just crossed my mind and I could not resist. :shifty:

But unlike the Romans, when Inder nails someone up, they ain't knocking around three days later.

Dumb really because they can still visit here as a guest just can't post. Who'd have thought this place would back censorship when the individual has realised the error of his ways and is remorseful. Not the way forward in my book and makes me want to leave.

I don't make those decisions—this is Inder's playpen and I think he's given us 20+ years of reason to trust his judgement; it's not like he's a constantly meddling moderator, so when he does act it carries real weight that we should respect—but I'll say that Steve never demonstrated anything but contempt for the vast majority of people here. Like, sneering, dismissive contempt. Why he would even want to be able to be a part of a community he thought were a bunch of commie morons is beyond me. There are many people who have left us whose return would make the place better, but Steve ain't one of them.

I never saw those posts you mention. Not that I'm condoning those posts either. But I do sincerely believe in second chances for someone who has seen the error of their ways. If Steve wasn't remorseful for previous behaviour then I would agree with you. We have to leave room for those people that are willing to change. Plus it would be very simple if Steve didn't stick to his wish to change to remove him again.

So you don't feel that Steve is capable of change? And if so that is a good thing worthy of a second go?
