I expect a complete apology, a clearing of my name and censure against my attacker and abuser. Those involved shamed themselves with their actions. You have an opportunity to make amends and undo that injustice you’ve inflicted.

I run a large ML forum with weekly views of tens of thousands and I recognise exactly the temptations you’ve allowed yourselves to succumb to of abusing your power for a false sense of righteousness based on petty bullying and unfair treatment. I know that I’m not the only one who’s been a victim of this on lemmygrad.

The contributors to this forum deserve better moderation and better judgement from the admins in general. The current process of banning people without right of reply is abusive and dishonourable. That can be a separate discussion.

I'd rather take the sophist decentering of truth over Platonism though. Platonism and it's consequences have been so corrosive, allowing pretending to access to an ordering truth that this allows for systemic oppression (e.g. man is in the image of God therefore superior logics).

We can never escape the sophists because unfortunately their radical critique of truth in language is the case. You can always make evil seem like good and vise versa (never mind good and evil are rhetorically - and materially - determined concepts). Thus there's no shame in "fighting dirty" as it were or, even more aptly, using force instead of rhetoric when necessary.

Edit: tl;dr: who cares who wins debates when you have a ban hammer.
