One of the reasons I run and post to my blog regularly still is that I don’t last on regular forums and online spaces. I get banned. The mods are probably right to do so. I am disruptive and I make people angry, even though I rarely break forum rules and don’t really engage in inciting behavior.

I’m unrelenting and good at argument, though, and that’s enough to get me shitcanned. I have no regrets. If I’m not getting banned, I’m probably not thinking. And if I’m not getting banned, I’m probably wrong. Being right against group “wisdom” is the single quickest way to get thrown out a space.
