I was under the impression my ban wasn't set to expire for another month, so I popped over to the banned users corner just to say hi.😁

I don't actually plan on posting here anymore; I laid all my reasons out in that thread if anyone's curious.
It’s been real! Wishing nothing but the best to Goldie, Constantinopol, Cod2, Pasha, Henry, and sde-spot.
For everyone else, check your inbox—I left a little message waiting for you in the banned section.
peace😉

I was wondering—what actually got you banned?

I’ve noticed lately that you’ve seemed pretty disillusioned and let down—it feels like you just can't find common ground with most of the crowd here, people whose posts seem designed solely to insult others while dancing around the rules to avoid getting flagged or banned.

For me, the main reason I stick around is to read what a few decent folks post—including that group you mentioned above—who (at least in my book) are totally fine, and whose sense of humor actually brightens my day sometimes.

Anyway, if you're up for it, maybe shoot me a PM with your contact info, or just keep the same handle on another forum so we can catch up occasionally.

To be honest, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be hanging around either; I won't be here long, or at the very least, I'll be cutting back significantly.

All the best, man—take care of that old vintage Mustang of yours. 😁

Fantastic. If you could just round up Gary Wilson, nordeu, Tavil, Dragan, Krushk, and the rest of those "multicultural" types—who are really just religious warriors in disguise—then maybe violentjack wouldn't be getting chased out by the military. That would actually be good news, and perhaps this Reddit would finally look like a civilized place... But if you could hurry them along, we’d all be eternally grateful, even though you’re this bizarre cocktail of a Titoist, a Komšićist, and a bin Laden supporter. I doubt any sane person is going to feel bad about it. IslamBosna.com practically lives for people like you.

Everything seems to be looking up today with all this encouraging news. Though, frankly, I don't think Reddit would be quite as lucky if you actually left.

I’d love to know the real reason behind leaving the American Reddit community. You were more protected than polar bears in a sanctuary. You could insult Americans right here on an American subreddit without anyone batting an eye; you could spam, you could do whatever you wanted... you just never quite mastered the art of having a normal discussion.

Truly a phenomenon...😕

Honestly, whenever I was going back and forth with zebu, I kept getting red cards—it felt more like a bar fight than an actual debate—so reading this just feels kind of pathetic. It’s like the whole part of Reddit I actually joined for is dying out, replaced by these random trolls who show up, get banned within two days, and have nothing going for them except pure, unadulterated hate. Look, everyone loses their cool sometimes—not out of malice, but just because a heated argument gets personal—but it shouldn't be constant. These new guys? They're overstepping, period.
Anyway, not to bore you, but the point is that even though I’m practically brawling with Gary Wilson nearly every single day—or whoever else, doesn't matter—it isn't fueled by pure spite or provocation. We're just people defending our own interests. But the site is slowly going down the drain. I've tried starting threads about this twice already, but clearly, it’s just falling on deaf ears.
Catch ya later, I'm heading out to the field—haven't been out there long enough yet. 😉

Pretty weak funeral service; clearly the guy wasn't exactly a crowd favorite, and honestly, it could've used a little more of his actual personality.🤷

RIP+😁

Edit: I spent the whole time grumbling about what was missing🤔 before realizing there wasn't even any music playing, so here's something to honor him.🙂

The reason I'm considering taking a break, scaling back my activity, or just walking away entirely isn't the moderation. In fact, I want to congratulate the mods—I think they do a solid job. One of the main reasons I even signed up was because I spent months watching how well this place was run before joining.

It’s also not about the trolls that flood the site constantly, nor is it about clones like you who seem to reincarnate every few weeks. (Hopefully, you realize that once you lose credibility in a debate, you try to build it back up with a fresh handle—but it doesn't work; anyone can spot your writing style. It's the same old wine in a new bottle.)

Ultimately, the reason I'm thinking of leaving is disappointment. I'm tired of the quality of discussion from long-time members who can't post a single thing without being a troll. You've become boring. You refuse to evolve even an inch, you keep spinning the same tired narratives, and frankly, you've become monotonous. 🤷

Oh, so *you're* disappointed by the quality of the discussions.

You...🙂

You and your kind are the ones who dragged these discussions down to this level. Trolls. Low-level trolls. Illiterate trolls. Zero-value debaters.

Of course you're praising the moderators; they were busy shielding you religious trolls. Which is strange, considering this is supposed to be an American forum, but hey, here we are. Unfortunately... that zebu who was as annoying as a stomach flu—who, along with you and a whole heap of other trolls, should have been purged ages ago to save the quality of this community—clearly had no idea what a ban actually meant. Now that he finally got one after years of trolling and insults, he couldn't tell the difference between a temporary suspension and a permanent ban...🤣

While others were getting slapped with permanent bans for minor nonsense, you lot have been running wild, destroying this Reddit unchecked. So go ahead. Leave. Get out now. For the sake of common sense, just go.

We're doing great... the forum's patriotic brigade just wiped out yet another enemy stronghold. The opposition is retreating, and soon the American internet will be ethnically pure... Gary Wilson and Tahvil, you're next...

Today we celebrate the victory, tomorrow we head into new battles...

Look, if you're bored, that’s fine... but if this is your reason for quitting the conversation entirely:
The real issue lies with the crowd gathering on this Reddit. Between the hardcore nationalists, the bigots, the Islamophobes, and every flavor of fascist you can imagine, it’s become impossible to have a civilized discussion without someone flagging it as trolling or spam.

Then you've completely missed the mark. Just look at how much they're enjoying this...😵

Anyway, take care. 👋

Look, it's your call. But like Henry said, your reasons are pretty weak...

See, I’ve been hanging around this site for years, since like 2001 or 2002 (maybe too long, honestly, and I've never even been banned 😁). Back before this "new" version of the forum existed. From all that time spent here, I can tell you one thing—this is easily one of the best, if not *the* best, communities in the country. It's definitely one of the most tolerant spots out there. Trolls and agitators come and go, always. Discussion quality fluctuates too, depending on how many idiots are flooding the gates, but I doubt you'll find anything like what we have here anywhere else.

It feels like you’re looking at the whole site through a "politics" lens, or even worse, through the lens of that "ex-America" subforum. Yeah, that specific section has turned into a total dumpster fire lately, basically a magnet for trolls and provocateurs, but that doesn't mean it'll stay like that forever 😉. It's on the mods to clean that mess up. I'm sure they'll try to fix it if they can. 🤷

Besides, there are tons of other sections where people actually have real, intelligent conversations and stuff worth reading. I get it, though. You get burned out from reading the same empty, mindless crap every single day. I've taken breaks myself more than once (aka: avoiding the trolls), but that shouldn't be a reason to quit this place for good.

So, if this isn't your final goodbye, I'd suggest reading the first sentence of my sig and trying to live by it... trust me, it helps. 😉

If not, then peace and take it easy. 👍

How can you expect someone to defend the country with a weapon when their own words are being used to bury them.
The President just folded. Weak character, I suppose. That’s all there is to it.

I guess it's funny you're lecturing us about provocateurs when you're clearly the biggest one here—you literally typed out FOX NEWS in the second line of your signature. 🙄
