The thread from last year on the EU and its handling of Greece's economic collapse. People were pointing out that hey, the actions being taken by the EU made no sense unless the goal was to punish Greece. And that that was bad and the people in charge should be ashamed of themselves.
He got incredibly butthurt over it. Assblasted, even. Why? Who knows. I sure don't.

Charlie Hebdo. After the attack -- and the ensuing SV thread -- he became even more twitchy and irascible towards any hint of criticism towards French policies. The Greek thread what just the spark that finally lit his ammo dump.
...Rufus is Parisian, isn't he? Christ, that makes a certain amount a sense.
Hmm. You know, that makes me even less sympathetic to him. Lots of people suffered that night and were terrified out of their wits. In a roundabout way, I suppose I was one of them too.
That has never been and will never be an excuse to be an irascible jerk. Those who suffer dearly and retain their kindness deserve respect.

I suppose you haven't seen his rebuttal to the people that used the attack to demonise Muslims?
I didn't mean "jerk against Muslims", though. I meant becoming bitter in general, losing your kindness towards others, demeaning them, just because you have suffered.
I'll admit, perhaps I'm judging him a bit harshly here. But remember, he repeatedly and explicitly held me, my colleagues, my friends, and all that they built in contempt.
I find it difficult to remain coldblooded about this.

I am missing the necessary context here.
anyway i have had a thought, what happens if someone is inactive for the appeal window?

I don't see why adequate explanation can't get the appeal reopened. The staff aren't super strict on it.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the fact that his appeal and tribunal was just him shitposting like a dumbass and saying SV and it's rules was just a joke/hugbox?

In fairness to Rufus, his hill -- IIRC -- was that the French people would never further demonize the Muslim minority because of the attack, and thus create conditions where these major terrorist actions become worryingly commonplace.
Noble of him, perhaps; I for one have little doubt that he was speaking the truth as he saw it, and was projecting a great deal from his own non-bigoted character. It was also wrong, and is becoming increasingly more wrong. Even Rufus can't be so myopic as to have missed this.
However, Rufus is not a crow-eater even in the best of times, so he latches on to every non-French example of stupid, xenophobic, and/or self-defeating populism in the West (see: Brexit, Trump) in order to dismiss those who would try to call him on these things as utter hypocrites.
I really, really want to see something in Rufus's rant, because I personally don't particularly like SV's administration. But I can't.

Seconded. Dismissive attitudes only make the situation worse, and users feel unwelcome.

Thirded. Telling people you don't agree with to GTFO really isn't the kind of attitude that:
a.) Fosters a healthy community.
b.) Changes people's minds.

And it's just a general dick move.
I generally do avail myself of that option. But that neither changes my opinons, nor does it mean that I won't share them if it seems topical. At any rate I mostly am here because there are authors who primarily post here.
If people cared about that, we wouldn't need Tribunals.
As far as I'm concerned, you're welcome here.

Certainly the easiest solution, but not the ideal one.
If he dislikes the man behind the curtain, there are other places that have different men behind the curtain.
I don't think Ford or Squish or anyone else is going to step down any time soon, so if they are his problem his problem will never be solved.
Perhaps. And yet they are still here, discussed the current matter with us with grace, and were remarkably more charitable than you.
Just because someone disagrees with us doesn't mean they have no place at our table. In fact, I honestly welcome it over otherwise contentless posts telling others to leave.
Of course, that's merely an opinion I have. You don't have to agree with me.
