Saydrah shouldn't be banned from /MensRights

Good lord, don't ban her. She's been bitching about it all over reddit. Her victim mentality is being realized and she's loving the attention.

She should not be banned from /mensrights

Like BSC said, we don't need an echo chamber. theres nothing to be gained from silencing someone critical of your views or someone who disagrees with you. I've learned quite a bit from the folk over at equality while disagreeing with them.

And for that matter, neither should anyone else. We banned the guy the other day for being a blogspammer and I'm even a little ambiguous over that. It's so easy here at Reddit to just downvote what you dislike and move on.

I am not a moderator and this isn't my subreddit. So this is all just my opinion. I know that pn6 was the original creator of this place and he swung the banhammer pretty liberally. I disagreed with that then and I do now.

I am banned from /Equality. So I know as well as anyone how ridiculous it is to stifle dissension and how fruitless it is to preach to the congregation.

Edit - And I'm a little worried that this place has become the echo chamber that a certain someone calls it. There's about ten of us who come in here regularly and upmod each other and have a big circle jerk. Not knocking the brotherhood aspect of it all but let's let people feel welcome... whether they are or not.

What are we afraid of? Opinions that differ from our own? We should RELISH the chance to actually debate someone who is intelligent and informed and disagrees with us. I think our viewpoints are strong and can stand up to the light of both our own introspection, the calm rational voices of those who civilly disagree with us and the shrillest shriek of the most vile misandrist manhater.

Oh and by the way... it was Saydrah who banned me from /Equality. I don't mean to sound self-righteous but I think that lends my opinion a tiny bit of extra weight when calling for mercy for all, but especially for her.

Agreed

Why was Saydrah banned?

I think the concept of Equality is a misnomer. For example, the Obama administration can be considered a series of compromises where everyone needs to suffer a little bit, at least for a while.

MensRights is about halting and hopefully reversing a certain kind of erosion that has taken place.

Sometimes you can promote one thing or another, and lots of people can be neutral to it. Or you can push something excessively in one extreme and still people won't care, or if they were negative to it before maybe they have just been brought up to neutral now.

My point is that some of this stuff, in terms of perception and also the underlying reality, can overlap. But if your modality is for pure Equality, honed down to the smoothness of the surface of a quartz sphere, I think people collectively suffer. There is no variety and no one has reached close to their max potential.

Censorship sucks

BestServedCold · 2009-06-11T02:36:39+00:00

Ever notice it is the same people getting caught up in this crap. I am sick and tired of seeing this brought up in open forum. Deal with the admins privately.

2009-06-11T08:25:23+00:00

So what did she to do get banned from mensrights?

tomek77 · 2009-06-11T23:47:15+00:00

How are we supposed to answer this, without knowing anything about why she got banned in the first place???

Until someone makes the case that she was banned unfairly, I have no reason to doubt that moderators had a valid reason to ban her.

Also: what is the fuss all about? (72 comments and counting, geez I wish we had that type of engagement on our issues)

ZuG · 2009-06-11T12:45:59+00:00

In some sense, I do feel this forum has become an echochamber, and it isn't my echochamber, per se (I really don't feel welcome here, despite my general support of the cause), so I'm hesitant to even voice an opinion, but banning in general should best be restricted to spammers and people whose commentary serves no purpose except to inflame.

MachinShin2006 · 2009-06-10T21:40:45+00:00

Who would have the ability to unban her (and everyone else?)

BestServedCold · 2009-06-10T22:12:20+00:00

I'd like to see some evidence

catlebrity · 2009-06-11T01:13:17+00:00

Someone wants to be unbanned from Equality!

(I think they should unban you, actually.)
