Funny how every time he does something that should have him excised from this community, there's always a reason why he should be sacrosanct and immune.
He knows what he is doing, he does it intentionally. Stop defending him.
False equivalency. What Tanoomba is doing is not free expression, it is not taking a position and defending it honestly, it is doing his dead level best to disrupt every conversation.
There is no equivalency here. He is like Dawkin's Deity on Youtube Hangout community. He goes into every conversation and does his dead level best to blow it up. To make it impossible for anyone to communicate on the issue in a productive manner.
He is not just "Arguing some position we disagree with" and that stale, worn out strawman has flown the coop.
He is intentionally toxic. Dawkin's Deity has an entire channel on Youtube dedicated to posting the times he does what Tanoomba does, which is intentionally detonate every discussion and reduce it to vulgarities and outright warfare.
This is an example of the toxic behavior Tanoomba exhibits in this community in another format. These people are not dealing honestly and do not deserve or dare to hide behind "free speech" as a justification

I didn't say anything about tradition in the post. You are most definitely making new and/or changing rules. There was no "No personal threads in the shaw" rule on FOH.

Exactly.
You would rather allow a toxic person harass a community indefinitely than do anything about it, but you'll throw a shit fit when anyone tries to put a stop to it because there is no reason.
There is no other community on the internet where Tanoomba's antics, after this many years, of being completely incapable of holding a rational discussion with anyone, would not have been banned.
Its just a fact.
It isn't censorship. He is simply not dealing in good faith with this community. Period.
There wasn't any listed rules there. There also doesn't need to be a listed rule when you can't do anything to change it.
There isn't a rule "nobody that isn't a moderator will post in the moderator only forum" because they can't do it.
There wasn't a rule "no personal threads in the rickshaw" because nobody but the moderators could make or move threads into there and that is the rule they followed internally.

You complained about a lot of stupid shit, and it started to all blur together pretty damned quickly.
Aren't you being a bit disingenuous here? I could have sworn you had been posting about whoever was spam-reporting posts and saying that you couldn't wait until Mods were elected so they could handle it. So you saying this sounds kinda bullshitty.
Who was that? Was that Tanoomba who said that? Because if so I'd just like to point out that he's been saying that for a while now as part of his passive-aggressive anti-Mod action protesting.
And there's the problem.
Oh, and it's sadly hilarious (emphasis on sadly) that you were just asking 'where the punishment was', and then a page later you're talking about letting users just create threads on a whim in the Rickshaw. Da fuq? You literally make no sense.

Does that really make sense since my thread was in the rr on foh?

Then he should be banned and not have tailor made rules built around him.

What? He used to regularly and voluntarily move posts to his Shaw thread, even when not on RRP, specifically so that he wouldn't disrupt the root discussion.

He doesn't have tailor made rules built around him. That would be something like "Tanoomba is not allowed to have a personal thread in the shaw"
Rather, his behavior led to a blanket rule "No one may have personal threads in the shaw".
I have nothing to do with any of what is going on right now.
Did I, for instance, tell Tanoomba to go post in the Gamergate thread and antagonize the shit out of the new mod team and admin, yes or no?
Nope. Didn't even engage with him in that thread while he was posting, but rather encouraged people to do what, exactly?
Put him on ignore.
He pushed and got himself shawed. He is pushing to get himself banned.
I have nothing to do with that.
I am only pointing out the hypocrisy of the old moderation team, who allowed Tanoomba to get away with what he got away with for so long, crying out to defend him now when he's no longer being allowed to get away with those antics.

Honestly if I didn't want Tanoomba posting in the rickshaw this is what I would have done. The whole point of shawing them is to only allow them to post in the rickshaw.

I am not being disingenuous (pot calling kettle black?), they have handled every single report, I have handled none. They were the ones that RRP'ed him and Wooly. They have handled almost every single user activation (I did some of they weren't online). This is the only thing they haven't done. Just because you pussied out doesn't mean I am bullshitting.
Tanoomba and Mist both find that their go to. It should not be.
I am saying that if they get their own personal threads and we are all about equality here then everyone should have their own personal threads so then why are we restricting the creation of threads ....
It's a basic logic line. A to B to C
Post a thread, get placed in the poll, get voted on.
Oh, I forgot you don't follow basic logic.

You know what I mean, dude. He shouldn't be the source of new rules for this community. If he's that much of a burden, there is a much simpler solution that will not affect the rest of the community(no matter how trivially this really affects us).

Fun fact: I think I've already had more threads locked here than foh and rer combined.

Your thread was created in the first week when they didn't have permissions set correctly. It literally says that in the first post of it.
You could argue for the reinstatement of yours a lot more than the others, sure. I feel it's now HoS.
We didn't have the Rickshaw user group set up until Woolygimp started losing it but just because we created them after that doesn't mean he was the source of it.
Tanoomba was just an easy indicator, like bleeding gums means you should floss more.
