    I'm halfway through it. Have not yet got to pre-human bit, but I have no issue with the idea of previous civilisations as they are such a consistent part of early human mythology and thought. Sensationalist versions of the story such as the netflix "Ancient Apocalypse" series are all very interesting.

    Don't be ridiculous. Having diverse and different views is fine. Great even. Being unhinged and irrational is no part of fit and proper. If someone had called out, named or reported that other previous member we might be in a quite different situation right now - sadly he was too sane to reveal his thoughts and ideas.

    I am no psychologist but in my experience persons like Lurch who show concern for what is happening to other people are gentle souls not prone to violent outbursts.

    Maybe. When it comes to a FAL and fit and proper I wouldn't give anyone the benefit of doubt.
    Im not going to debate it though because its just one person's view (mine) and probably a minority one.

    You are probably not in the minority Tahr there is just a noisy contingent of shit-peddlers on here who might make it seem like that ...

    So to extrapolate this concept, by banning Lurch we have saved some calamity from happening and made him recover from the obviously worried depressive state he was in poor bugger. Banning him being a way of taking his outbursts seriously and helping him ? In the same way banning 257 Weatherby and denying him contact with others here also helped him get over the loss of his dog ?.
    Sorry I just dont see it that way. How I see it is that Lurch was pretty stressed out about all the stuff happening in the world and this was likely being made worse by some of the worry peddling groups he was interacting with. Banning him instead of debating with him has 1) confirmed that everyone has gone blind and 2) thrown him further into the arms of the worry mongers. Who knows he might have been fine until the lockdowns, might have lost his job etc etc Lots of people got pretty stressed and were forced to to stuff against there will.
    He might even have 'come right' with a bit of input from forum members if given the chance instead of being chucked on a heap to become someone elses problem. Nimbyism at its most repulsive

    As a rule I dont publicly comment on moderation work......but lets get 1 thing straight 257weatherby is not banned, he was given a 4 day holiday and has been told he can come back anytime he pleases. He chooses to self isolate from here, he is not in anyway restricted from participating.
