i don't think it's really great to keep dredging up where people used to post, but I probably feel that way because I was stuck with forums cancer (which is hilarious in retrospect) for a while after lf closed

Gumball Gumption posted:Sure and that's why I think the first thing he needs to do is a better apology that actually explains how he's better. People are going to make mistakes and a zero tolerance approach isn't really tenable because mistakes happen. But they should only happen once. If the dude can explain why it was a mistake, what the problem was, and what he has done to make sure it doesn't happen again than I'm a lot more likely to believe the mistake isn't going to happen again. Combine that with how he's run TFR and that would make me believe it won't happen again and really was a one time gently caress up with really bad judgement. Agreed. It’s awkward and painful to make that kind of apology. But the alternative (ignore it and try to ‘move on’, or ban anyone who brings it up) doesn’t work, you’re just delaying the pain and multiplying it. People will continue to ask “what the gently caress??” and this isn’t a small enough issue to be forgotten over time. Silence doesn’t help anyone in the long run.

Quetzadilla posted:I'm not caught up on the thread but if the "well-cited" racist screed Cyrano was applauding was about black-on-black violence you would (I hope) be much less inclined to carry water for him, which you should seriously reflect on. Trying to defend Cyrano on this for any reason means you are AT BEST terminally inclined to defend your modmin pals which is how this whole shitshow began, but it also seems likely that you just plain do not understand what's so virulently offensive and toxic about the screed in question. Fly Molo posted:in cases like this, I can see why an accused mod/admin wouldn’t engage with what they consider (wrongly) to be a “lynch mob”, but there needs to be better communication and dialogue rather than silence, silence, quitting the forums altogether. that doesn’t benefit anyone, and that unresponsive pattern is one of the basic reasons why things keep

1) Bring back fyad, make it a sub of cspam 2) make every regular fyader a mod of fyad 3) wait approximately 3.14 seconds before everyone goes mad with power 4) everyone banned after the inevitable meltdown, except arf, who couldn't even find the mod buttons because we was busy making funny GIFs.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:it's complicity. And that can lead to real harm. No argument there. I'm not a liberal. Now what's the immediate, practical relevancy of that question now when the Islamophobes have since been purged and TFR restructured to have gun threads tracking racism and fascism in the gun industry? Probably the only gun forum on the entire internet that does that. All the other ones are moderated by fascists. Taking your arguments at face value, it sounds to me like TFR's miraculous reformation happened in spite of, not because of, Cyrano's willingness to allow disingenuous phrenology posts on his forum. Also idk why that ever required admin buttons. Also if the problem is already solved, idk why Cyrano needs buttons at all anymore. You don't need powers to track fascism in the gun industry. But most of all, I especially don't know why you feel compelled to defend him.

Fly Molo posted:also the grimes episode is crack-ping: the episode, it’s amazing. Frank Grimes is an amazingly dark and wonderful episode. Despite being written by a right wing libertarian, it's a perfect look at the failures of capitalism and the exploitation of honest labor by the system that the writer worships. Those already integrated into the system and safe from it, like Homer and Bart (respectively members of the bourgeois and, in this episode, the land owning classes), are immune from the changes and challenges presented by hard work and toil. Men like Grimes, who do not own property, who are not protected by their bosses, are subject to every disgrace imaginable, despite believing in a Randian dream in which hard work is rewarded. The collision between how Grimes believes the world ought to work, and how it actually works, results in his *Crack* *Ping*, and, because he is not the capitalist superman he thought he was, he dies accidentally by his own hand. In a different system, Grimes would have been rewarded by the collective for his hard work, and would live the life of an honest worker, rather than striving to impress Burns, and being discarded at his whim. A Good Episode.
