    People are basically good, but criminally ignorant on average.

    Just look at Asmond Gold’s recent ban. I doubt the dude would ever even think about shooting a Palestinian himself, but boy will he happily dehumanize an entire culture as easy as taking a sip of water!

      Yes. I looked that up, it seems he said something very nasty on his Twitch stream and was temp-banned.

      Do you think a fourteen day ban is an effective deterrent? Why?

      I think he is at least in part rewarded with publicity. We are currently discussing him, right?

        Dunno’. I hope so, but Asmond has proven to be a bit … uh… dense. Hopefully he at least learns not to use such negative language when he supposedly doesn’t mean the entire meaning.
