And there I was thinking about suggesting to have him banned from Meta and Reputation only. He'll be much happier that way

Facts based postSo it goes like this -
1/Loyce comes to my thread (ignoring my local rules) and inserts a link to his new thread instead of just answering it on the original thread like i challenged him to do. I mean my local rules specify that anyone can post if the present their case on my thread. He does not he just links to it on his own thread.
2/ Loyce then creates a thread that
a/ makes false claims about me and my motives (not that they are relevant)
b/ presents a specious conclusion based on my proposal
3/Loyce then tells me I can not post on this thread because my reply was off topic
(It was on topic and was I answering his accusations and specious and misleading conclusions)
4. I tell him it was on topic and then challenged him and the other ass kisser asche telling me it was off topic to present a case as to why it was off topic. If they can then I guess it will be removed or I will adjust it.
5. Loyce pretends I am on ignore but then has somehow read the post where I said I need a few more hours sleep just after that. Also says he has not read the post anyway so how to know it is off topic??
6. Neither Loyce or the other ass kisser comes back with any case to demonstrate I was offtopic (because obviously it was not)
7. Loyce now says he wants to ban me from meta to silence me (well this account anyway) from presenting challenges he will not or can not meet.
This is just a prime example of how these people-- (Yes I mean most of you on meta) operate.
So back on topic (not that defending myself against accusations can be off topic since it was stated in the OP) and as I have said I am sure you can not base much on these predictive models since people could well change their lists as the system is changed.
You know what -- if Theymos started blacklisting people that did not stick to red trusting
a/ scammers
b/ strongly likely to scam
then that could set an example and people may start using the system for its intended purposes rather than to prevent persons mentioning their untrustworthy prior deeds that are there for all to observe.
Sadly though. I happen to believe that if you are willing to sit there and sanction and support these kind of untrustworthy persons then you yourself become untrustworthy. Together these actions are impinging on the free speech of all members. Yes, I know this for a fact because others have told me they are not happy but will not speak up for fear of reprisals and having their account painted red.
I will likely not contribute further (or not too much) to this particular thread since I can tell my mere presence is distracting to all my admirers here that are starting to show up one by one.
