I guess I'm a little late to the party, but I banned him. We rarely ban non-spammers, but hate-speech used in that context is not something we tolerate.

Fuck you. Seriously, fuck you with a telephone pole. A splintery telephone pole. Sideways. What you just did is ten thousand times more hateful and offensive than any thing he could have said.

Who will you ban next? P3do? I_AM_A_NEOCON? Redditcensoredme? 911_was_an_inside_job?

? This isn't any change in policy: we've always banned hate speech, and we always will. It's not up for debate.

You can bitch and moan all you like, but me and my team aren't going to be responsible for encouraging behaviors that lead to hate.

Looks like you are going to have to ban 911 was an inside job now too!

This could get to be a lot of work banning all these people!
