I think they clearly expressed they were going through some hard times. I don’t think that’s necessarily a sin. And I don’t think one comment we all disagree (landlords) is a good lone reason to ban. Did I miss something? Not trying to stir the pot I just think patience and compassion should always come first.
I can see where you’re coming from. I saw his comments on landlords too and I even thought out a long reply disagreeing with him, but I didn’t post it (don’t know why really, probably because it was late already). I also don’t want my reply to be seen as a somewhat pro-landlord reply. I am 100% against landlords.
Maybe I am too kind for him. I try to look for chances in people and to me he did not seem lost or something, just in a bad place. But then again I have a lot of patience with people, sometimes maybe too much.
I still don’t fully agree on banning him but like I said, I’m not a mod/admin so I don’t have a say in that. It’s too bad because there were also good intentions from him, but I agree that he should also put in the effort to improve himself. We can only do so much. I hope he can adjust his visions and find some peace of mind.
Your “I didn’t post it” is exactly why I decided to go ahead and post even though I am waiting in the doctor’s office and was tempted to just not write anything lol. So thank you for taking my comment as it was intended. I just wanted to pushback on the consensus I saw forming in the comments with some of my thoughts, unformed as they are.
I definitely did not feel your reply was pro-landlord. My opinion is just that doomer+landlord apologist suggests a not very well thought out analysis.
I understand the being patient and kind I just think that when it is your responsibility to safeguard the community you see things a bit differently.
