I don’t think we need to ban Shea posting. It’s not like he’s a griefer or spammer, he’s just someone who writes blogs that sometimes get shared. It’s true he should be delegitimized, but that can be done through having struggle sessions like these better than outright banning him.

    I think he's fully delegitimized among those who know his name. The problem is that he's not gonna stop posting literal made-up bullshit and new people will upvote and uncritically consume it because he uses headlines like "Why Anti-Imperialism is Good". While I will bully him at every sighting, I can't commit to being online as much as him.

    As long as it's confined to the infighting comm I don't think it's a problem. But he's clearly strategic about where and when to post each article to trick the most people into reading.

    I don't think my proposal is unreasonable. This site is not a big tent, there's already a separate site for that.

    "Why Anti-Imperialism Is Good"

    seems like the left version of "Why Protecting Children Is Good" to defend an anti trans law

    Shame IMO the same dishonest rhetorical tactics can be found on both sides.
