"You can't tell people that shit Crni. They keep hearing IRAN and ISIS and 800,000 billion immigrants a month while stuffing their fat fucking faces with McDonalds not realizing that the Cheeseburger and Coke will kill them before any Jihad will."
Did he get a strike for basically calling people fat pigs for not sharing his views?
More than 68% of Americans are fat according to numbers on the interwebs. I specifically called no one out in that thread, basically making an offhand comment about telling people (not here...everywhere) what they don't want to hear. It's not meant as an insult. I directed that at no one. Not to mention the fact it is true.
I realize Vergil was an interesting poster to have around, but calling people retards, faggots, niggers, and slants every other post, and denying the Holocaust is all stuff that eventually gets you banned. Vergil received numerous warnings too before he was banned. I even saw that one of his IP's was being used by another user, possibly a friend or relative at his house, messaging him personally asking him about it and giving him a heads up to be careful. Even when he said racist shit, often I tried to ignore it, but a few times I gave him a verbal warning just to know he was crossing the boundaries.
This stuff builds up over a period of time. It isn't one little thing that gets you banned. You keep calling out for the ban and you get it eventually. His posts in the Twibber feed were reaching a new level of spam that was unbecoming as well.
Everyone here has gotten belligerent at one time or another. It's when you get warned and keep taking it over the line that it gets to be a hassle, in which admins/mods will usually get fed up. Does Virgil's popularity immunify him from the rules? It seems to me he was using some phrases with tongue planted firmly in cheek, but also believed some of the shit he was saying. So yeah he could make an offhand joke about liking Hitler while quoting Mein Kampf and be considered a joke, but then on the next page claim the Holocaust wasn't real...and it would seem like he actually thought that.
I recall him even making fun of autistic users and it going unmentioned. Often when he would be warned he would then make another smartass comment for good measure which shows his mindset. He always pushed the rules. He would have been banned in a month if Sander was active so all you new users should be thankful. Shit has been lax around here. Most of you have no idea. Talking a little shit is one thing, but when 90% of your posts are in a political thread ranting about Nazi propaganda, SJW's, and Mexicans - you are on the list of people who might get banned one day.
Not the choice I would have made, but I understand why it was done.
