“I have always tried to be tolerant of it. The tools to help arent great for everyone and I fail sometimes too.
I have much less sympathy for blog pimpers, even if I am not militant about it. I believe a lot of people exist who dont understand that they shouldnt, and I have always thought that a serious, good-natured warning is always the best first step.
I admit I have seen a few posters who disregard those kinds of approaches (often with great, persistent, and deliberate zeal) and the only treatment IMO is instant permanent banning.
I just think duplicates are gonna happen though even with well intentioned preparation.”
Thank you for your well thought out and measured response. It is sorely needed.
I do feel affinity for many on this site, and I hate any time there is genuine discord.
I have been on both sides, and I would rather not be on either, honestly.
