  • Should Ben be unBenned?

    I have no idea how you'd go about doing this, but I think it would be a good idea

    No poll because I'm tired of polls

    If this was a poll, it would have 100% approval, like Saddam Hussein.

      Nikolai would probably vote against it - having Ben around somehow makes him more reasonable (or makes him seem more reasonable)

      This is assuming he doesn't enjoy being the forum's super-Catholic

        Make it so all his posts require moderator approval before they'll appear, then don't approve posts that are dishonest and/or bigoted

          Unfortunately there's a workaround for that: post something like "I like puppies!", wait for approval, then edit it to "I hate black people!" Though I suppose you could make it impossible for him to edit posts.

            What about giving it to Nikolai to approve Ben's posts?

              That's a good idea - if Nikolai thinks that you're being too Catholic then you really need to step back and reassess

                I have no idea how this could be done.

                If Ben was "UnBenned" does that mean he would not be Ben anymore?

                Who would he be then?

                  It would require unbending fortitude.
                  No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                    Two options are that he becomes a better person ("maybe being loathed isn't something to aspire to") or he becomes a worse person ("why aren't I doing anything about all of these people I hate?" [becomes spree killer])

                      I think his goal is to be loathed so he can use it as "evidence" that Catholics are persecuted which he can use to justify his racism and other prejudices.
                      It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                        "I hate all black people"
                        "That's kind of a ****ed up thing to say..."

                          close enough
                          If black people robbed you, I'd not consider it prejudice for you to be angry at black people in general
                          Hmm that's more than just a touch racist.

                          You're persecuting me since i'm a Catholic so it really isn't

                            No, roll the dice, pay the price. Maybe he will learn...maybe.
