Pointing out a truism isn’t being dogmatic, nor pompous.
The reality is that you’re upset he was banned, and you’re looking for a fight. — Xtrix
I say this to let everyone know this was a difficult decision, made over a long period of time, with plenty of prior warning. — Hanover
Oooo. That hurts. As much as anyone streelight represented what is best in the forum. — T Clark
I am going to miss Streetlight's posts because he is extremely knowledgeable in politics. — Paths
honestly, street would express anger I just didn't feel like expressing cuz I've become milder over time. But I generally agree with his comments, even when correct and angry -- people didn't like that, of course — Moliere
What a shame. The forum is lesser now. — praxis
clearly we've lost a good contributor here. — Manuel
For better or worse, banning him is definitely a loss to this community. — 180 Proof
Banning Streetlight is bullshit — Maw
Yeah— it’s unfortunate. Personally I found most of it funny, even at my own expense. Pretty predictable. — Xtrix
he had some good information sometimes.. and when focused on a source text, could lead some constructive debates... — schopenhauer1
Was there a specific comment or thread that broke the camels back to get him kicked out? — schopenhauer1
Dude, he had some good information sometimes.. and when focused on a source text, could lead some constructive debates... but that guy pissed on everyone when he was here. And I have been here longer than him.. I will give him a positive though.. he seemed to be a fair moderator. He didn't seem to abuse his power.. At least as far as I know from my limited view. — schopenhauer1
Several years overdue. He needs therapy more than any other person I have seen on this or any other forum.
Hope he works through whatever his issues are.
I am just surprised he wasn’t done away with years ago tbh. Being knowledgeable is no excuse for open and untamed bigotry and bullying directed towards anyone who happens to share a different opinion. — I like sushi
, it's important because it actually puts other people off contributing. Including me. — coolazice
censorship? — Monitor
isn't the disruption he might have caused with his hard debating style offset by his very knowledgeable contributions? — Tobias
One cannot know how many contributors have been put off posting by the many gratuitous insults he made. But I know of another intelligent poster who has expressed such a sentiment as I quoted above. — unenlightened

He was overly sensitive, quick to insult and never showed any attempt to use even a slight degree of charity in any interpretation. Once cast in the role of ‘enemy’ he lost all sense of reasoning.
If he was more thick-skinned it might have played out differently. Maybe after several months of therapy he will learn or maybe not. Either way good riddance! — I like sushi
I take it for granted that Christians are vicious, vacuous, shells of human beings who actively ruin everything around them when they are not busy raping children or defending those who do. — Streetlight
Including me. I will miss his substantive posts, can't we just bring him back and force all his posts through to mod approval while deleting all the hyperbolic aggressive sanctimonious bullshit? — coolazice
I can confirm that this member asked to be banned. — Jamal
