I wasn't following era back then, but I'm sure it was crazy when the truth came out about that. Were any of the bans reversed after the fact? I feel like no
This is what got me permed

Instead of just over-reacting and banning dissenting opinions, maybe there should have been an attempt to engage with people to try to understand why they thought the whole story was fishy (which it is now well beyond any reasonable doubt).
Instead, this whole thing was turned into a massive race/culture war where those with power abused it to shut out those they didn't agree with and then got egg all over their faces when all of the doubts people had initially were shown to be legitimate and not just borne out of "white privilege" or whatever buzzword insult was being thrown around.
I couldn't give three fucking shits about this guy and before this thread I didn't even know who he was. I certainly don't give a shit about whether he set this whole thing up or not and am only here because this episode is a perfect illustration of what is wrong with this place.

Who am I kidding? Introspection? Yeah right! It's just easier to ban people and bury your heads in the sand.
It's actually satisfying going back to that thread because almost all of the worst cheerleaders are also permed or have requested account deletion.
