so a guy on Q23 gets his thread locked because people looked up the criminal complaint against him involving OMG domestic violence. The cat lady brigade of Q23 has opinions. Somebody named Adree got banned because of it but not Munky, the thread-starter.

Somebody pipes up with how fucking stupid it is to say that you shouldn't get advice from anyone over there if your past is anything less than 100% lily white

Munky brought up his past and I don't think it's wrong for people to then discuss it or bring up related public information. But to ban the guy because of his past, personal, transgressions... no I don't think that's right. People should be banned based on their behaviour on the board not for what they do or have done in their personal lives.
I suppose this is directed more towards Angie than Jasper. I can understand and sympathize with people who are victims of domestic violence (my mother was a survivor of such a situation, worse even) and I'm not trying to belittle such situations but I don't think banning people because their personal dirty laundry is aired is right, even if they themselves aired it. I don't know all that went on in the thread but it didn't look like Munky misbehaved, it wasn't smart but I don't think anything he posted was ban worthy, unless we're banning stupid now.

If the law involved was software piracy he'd be banned. I don't think something as important and triggering as child abuse should be more protected than copyright infringement.
can't argue with her on this one friends

Q23 in a nutshell for you

I cut the second paragraph off this because its funnier to think that the groupthink over there is actively agreeing that putting someone in the stocks is a-ok. Plus I love a good Q23 analogy.
It wouldn't be a shitty Q23 thread without that disgusting bag of filth Charles piping up
