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
