"Bad Faith Posters"

No, I don’t think so. Certainly not when you’re the one who opens the door with references to things people posted on IC and complaints about echo chambers, biased moderators, etc.

What is the good faith argument for evasiveness regarding one’s past in light of an eagerness to wield familiarity with the open history of other posters?

If you want a fresh start, then have a fresh start. If you want to discuss what happened on an old board, it's pretty damn disingenuous to refuse to say what role you played on that board.

If you claim to be a long time IC poster, join this board under a new username and won’t disclose your IC past, a presumption of bad faith is the default. The burden of good faith lies with you and is evidenced by the content of your posts.

I dunno. I'm a former, longtime IC bball poster using a different username. No malice--just wanted ANUSTART

Here's the issue, as I see it, with banning people based on "bad faith" - the person doing the banning is assuming bad faith and that is a mistake, IMO.

Over the many years I've read/posted on political chat forums, there have been dozens of times that someone says something and I think "There's no way they actually believe that!" Most recently, it was related to the "stolen" election and covid. In reality, with the right external influences, someone can be convinced to believe nearly anything. There are people who, even today, have been convinced that the Earth is flat, the moon landing was staged, there was a pizza restaurant housing pedophiles/abducted children or whatever it was.....

When you consider the extremes - the nonsensical, conspiracy theory stuff - you realize that, with the right social media feed, podcasts, authors, etc, there's really no limit on what someone can legitimately believe politically.

I agree. I read your post all the time and think, there's no way he really believes that.

I thought that Zen did disclose his IC name awhile back.

Everyone, except me, seemed to know who free guy is.

An unwillingness to discuss your posting past is a separate topic from current discussion topics and the associated claims of bad faith as it relates to one's position regarding current topics, isn't it?

Yea, some of us didn't need to change user names...

They all say they wish to "engage"... until someone brings actual facts to the conversation, and then they claim persecution. Wash, rinse, repeat. :rolleyes:

That has been my frustration...

but I'm Linus in the political pumpkin patch still patiently waiting for the arrival of the Great Conservative board member ready to engage in an informed exchange of competing ideas 🙏

Come now... he's just looking to have a good faith, fact-based dialogue. It's natural to lead by calling everybody a pretentious, self-loathing, over-educated know it all. That's how I start all my good faith conversations.
 
Bad faith abounds with some. A celebrated poster actually wrote out that I, "cum guzzled Netanyahu" because he didn't like my postings despite the fact that both on this board and the ZZLP I repeatedly expressed my distain for Netanyahu and the criminals around him. Completely ignored by the cabal, I guess because he's the smartest guy in the universe.

I feel like an aspirant cum guzzler would always be disappointed by the lack of volume. "I need cum! Why is this dick spitting such a small amount of cum!?!"

I’ve asked this question in the past but you guys always seem split on whether we should ban posters like this…

I think if he keeps this sort of ranting to one thread, people can decide if they want to peek in from time to time for whatever perverse amusement it may provide. If it spills over to other threads, I have a different opinion...
