Ha, great minds and all that... I already wrote to him, waiting for a reply. I hope he'll accept the invite, he's sort of permanently-temp-banned on SB anyway, and he has a lot of knowledge and a unique viewpoint.

How'd he get temped?

I don't even know what it was this time - I think I looked it up and it was something even more arbitrary than the last time. Really nothing extremist or even too much "out there." I know I was thoroughly disgusted. It's pretty obvious that the mods there have decided to perma-ban him with constant temp-bans, he's there for a day or two and then he's out for a month. Assholes.

I've found it now, in a thread about Stormy Daniels somebody criticized Trump trying diplomacy with Kim, and Alcibiades replied:
"The political spectrum outside of Clinton Democrats believes that if Obama had done it, he would have been hailed as a great peacemaker.
I believe it to be obvious to those who are nonpartisan. I am not going to argue about it though."
Which to me is true, diplomacy is always the better option and Trump has been criticized for it only because he's being criticized for everything (he's just so easy to criticize).
The infraction was for flaimbaiting and derailing, but he didn't start the derail, it wasn't that big a derail - still about Trump - and I don't see how it was a flamebait. He even said that he's not going to argue about it. This was IMO a totally useless infraction.

A question - when you're banned, can you at least view SB as an anonymous visitor?

I had to delete my cookies, so I'm basically stuck as a guest. So kinda. Can't view areas that require you to be logged in.

The bans are really really obnoxious there. They block everything

Yeah. They're pushing people into conformity and I hate that. I like to have discussions with people who have different points of view, from which I can learn something new. Confirmation bias is nice and all, but I'm too old to get a kick from it, I know how useless it is in the end. You know, 50 billions of flies... Even IRL I have only a couple of friends, but all of them pretty unique - or weird, as my wife says. I choose them for their uniqueness, for ideas that I would never get myself.
