Wow, I missed that whole thing, followed the comments here, and tried to figure out what article was even involved.....and none of the articles even have any hint of being related to anything political.... (which is rare for Damo, admittedly... )
nessi got banned...permanently? Woow....amazing. Odd user. Seems like a nice guy, has good comments on gaming....but goes waay off into extreme political agenda activism and haranguing of anyone that disagrees or even doesn't celebrate his world view on a level of religious zealotry at the drop of a hat. I kind of can't believe it took this long. Which is a shame, because on gaming he's pleasant.
That's exactly what I was thinking. He was the last person that I expected to get banned. But looking back, I kinda get it.
I'll just say... Of the two people who got banned over yesterday's argument... One of them tried to apologize and nicely asked to be unbanned, privately. The other one immediately created a new account and attempted to make a public post twisting the events and attacking the site.
I won't reveal who is who (both remain banned for now). But it was a bit of a disappointment.
I don't remember the name of the second person banned, but I think I remember most of his comments. I would mention the comments, but we don't need another argument here.
@Heavyarms55 I can only sympathize. If it makes you feel any better, if only a little: there's also plenty of Covidiots over here, so you're not the only one annoyed and/or ashamed for your own fellow human being... (we even got bloody Donald supporters over here, gobbling up and fully believing all the fraud fairy tales)
I could be a content moderator on youtube or twitter.
Be careful what you wish for...
@HotGoomba___Rebrand@Zuljaras How the hell does an article thread about Hyper Light Drifter, a complete and utter fantasy-themed game, turn into a PC/gender/political debate?
Then again, they do sometimes reference themselves as unicorns, so that could be it...
On a more serious note: I tend to ignore his more vehement posts. He actually does make sense at times, but it is when he gets too defensive and/or aggressive that I tune out. I always do my best to try and respect other people and their respective choices and/or preferences, even though I sometimes completely don't understand their thing or state of being, or the incessant and contradictory need to aggressively present themselves, while simultaneously wanting to fit in and/or be accepted by the general population/society, but it is damn hard sometimes.
Give respect and you'll get respect, far as I'm concerned. You don't have to act extremely normal, because normal is boring, but there's a LOT of grey between normal and totally bonkers or outraged...
No need to moderate, I've said all I wanted to say about this topic, so I'll see myself out.
P.S.
@Zuljaras Your NEXT interactive sculpture? Did I miss the first one, then?
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX Well on the first question you know Ness. Apparently he started it (as always) and after that I learned that he got banned. That is all I know.
About the figure I want to create one for starters (the earth elemental) that you can move his hands, head, rocks which are connected with socketed magnets.
It is something new I want to try. Because that way you will have a figure that you can change its pose (to a certain degree) so it is more "interactive"
I guess I was no that clear. My next sculpture that will be more interactive. Because my last one, Murray was again static.
@ThanosReXXX That does baffle me. Why would anyone outside America support that man? Half of his rhetoric has been to tell the rest of the world to go to hell. The man doesn't even care about the majority of his own people, he certainly doesn't care about anyone outside the US.

@Zuljaras Ah, okay. So I did NOT miss an already interactive sculpture after all, then. Phew!
@Heavyarms55 Well, because they share similar sentiments/ideologies. There's <insert country> First people everywhere, you know...
Luckily, most of the Dutch are quite sane and down to Earth. The current goings-on/soap/reality show going on over there on your side of the pond is baffling them to no end. That would NEVER be possible here in any way, shape or form.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX I'm gonna stop before we get in trouble. I've typed out 3 different replies and deleted them because honestly, speaking truthfully about that man will almost certainly violate community rules on this site. And I don't have enough patience or tolerance left to speak of him or the virus in a pleasant and respectful manner anymore.
@Eel Oh I've read enough comments over the years to guess who was who and not be surprised, really. Really such a shame. Otherwise decent seeming, friendly, fun, people go into Hulk Smash mode, no prisoners, any time their chosen politics/religion isn't shared by others.
@Heavyarms55 Yeah... we had better stop. Then again: I already had stopped because that is all I had to say about it, but I did want to express my sympathy. A bit of moral support, so to speak.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX It's appreciated. On a different note, have I ever mentioned how much I like that quote about the console wars in your signature? It amuses me greatly.

Peace and Respect is all we need. No matter what happens we’re all humans and should get along despite political, religious, or personal beliefs. We can respectfully disagree on something and still be friends.
On another note... how do card tricks even work! I’ve been watching multiple card tricks on YT and they are all so confusing and impossible looking that they make my brain hurt!
As for my signature: well, if you have, I'm afraid I can't recall, so I'll simply thank you for the compliment now. At the time, it actually took me a while to formulate it in the correct way, for it to make comical sense. It might look easy reading it, but it actually was a bit of a tongue twister for me, for various reasons.
Which by the way is also the reason why I'm keeping it and have never changed it on any site I'm on ever since I came up with it over 15 years ago, because of the effort I put in, so I want to get my money's, or rather: energy spent worth...
