Hello again. I'd like to try and appeal my ban, please.

I would prefer it if people who are not moderating staff or Lana guest-posting to stay off this thread, for simplicity. You are, of course, free to comment on whatever goes here on other threads.

Lana appealed their ban via others means. The appeal was rejected. Consider previous posting restrictions on this thread removed

Could you make that post more mysterious?

What were the other means? Did they involve anybody clapping with their buttcheeks?

Sigma, who will defend the straight, white blokes now that their tireless defender has been silenced? I feel vulnerable!

And who will defend the most oppressed part of that population, the Nazis?

Right now the terrifying biker with the chrome swastika emblazoned on his Harley Davidson outside my office window looks more vulnerable than me.

I have got to wonder what other means Lana used.

Blackmail?

Some sort of vague threats?

Threats to tell Sigma's parents that she's being mean to the poor little Nazi-Fucker?

Whatever form her appeal took, can it be made public? I bet there are a myriad of logical fallacies.

So many questions

Could you make that post more mysterious?

Yes. Tumblr asks. No.

Sigma, who will defend the straight, white blokes now that their tireless defender has been silenced? I feel vulnerable!

And who will defend the most oppressed part of that population, the Nazis?

Right now the terrifying biker with the chrome swastika emblazoned on his Harley Davidson outside my office window looks more vulnerable than me.

ask Jacob, it's not like Catholics don't have a history defending nazis

I have got to wonder what other means Lana used.

Blackmail?

Some sort of vague threats?

No

Telekinesis?

Not to my knowledge

Whatever form her appeal took, can it be made public? I bet there are a myriad of logical fallacies.

Maybe. If I can I will discuss the issue as a matter of setting precedent.

I'd assume that, if they were asked in another public method of discourse, then it'd be similar to posting something to the mainpage.  Otherwise, I'd be kinda leery of posting a private matter on a public forum.  Kinda like what Lana did to get the boot in the first place, ya know?

I asked for consent to discuss publicly (which I've since received). That's exactly what "If I can" means in the previous post.

(I should also note that tumblr asks are public by default and while I chose to answer them privately that was out of concern that whoever reads my tumblr doesn't care about this, not a specific request for privacy)

Anyway, having as mentioned received consent:

Lana argued that the rules do not explicitly ban sharing PMs. I rejected the appeal on the grounds that sharing PMs was only part of the violation, as well as  considering it a common sense interpretation of the rules that PM sharing fails both "don't post private information" and "don't be a dick"

(I can't post the exact text of the appeal because tumblr is a terrible website and private replies to asks are not preserved in any way without third party extensions)

Oh wow that was the extent of their argument?

Ironbite-that's amazing.

And somehow, pretty much exactly what I would have expected.
