OK let’s talk about how your shitty programming confuses someone opening too many tabs with somebody doing a DOS attack. Let’s be real you’re probably the reason why because you ban people for political speech you disagree with.

This is perfectly demonstrated by the fact you did not comment on the original post, but instead commented on the post, criticizing the original post, which then you criticize, making you the exact same hypocrite that you excoriate.

Sorry, you lost me. What original post?

Actually I (we) don't ban people for political speech we disagree with. Politically passionate people assume we do, but this is an illusion (a total illusion, in fact). Everyone is certain that the mods must be against them—this is a reflexive bias (no doubt hard-wired in all of us somehow) and everyone always interprets it to be against them, their tribe, their team, their side. Even their country. We got accused of being anti-British not long ago!

Here’s an idea that’s worth $1 million to you. Monetize the ability to downvote early. Now unban my blackflame7000. I just gave you $1 million.
