KF misses Nakashima:
| Quote | | We have not heard from our newly wed Nakashima-san, recently. |
PaulT breaks the news:
| Quote | | Hi KF – Nakashima can’t comment – I am told he has been banned. |
Unpleasant Blowhard adds his usual empty commentary:
| Quote | I feel bad for Nak. Clive gave him just enough rope to hang himself, and without even a moment’s thought he did just exactly that.
It really must have hurt. It certainly was embarrassing to watch. |
So, why was Nakashima banned? Clive at First Things:
| Quote | | I banned Nakashima for being banned before, same with Reciprocating Bill... |
And the rules are?
| Quote | | Let me clarify. When I’m aware that someone is a sock puppet, I have, in the past, allowed them to continue posting, granted that they are sincerely there for a sincere discussion. Which, it should be noted and remembered, I do not have to allow even for this leniency. So when I check elsewhere and see that they are not, I use my discretion and ban them again. The ban is fully justified by the fact that they’ve been banned before; I need no other justification. I have allowed sock puppets such as Reciprocating Bill and Nakashima to post comments, though I knew they were sock puppets, in hopes that they would be sincere about their motives, which is, in my opinion, pretty considerate of me, so when I see the way they mock and chide UD and it’s participants at After the Asylum Closes, even though their posting is a privilege considering they’ve been banned before, I ban them for being a sock puppet that should’ve stayed banned in the first place. My justification is that they have already been banned; I don’t need any other justification. If anything I ought to be thanked by you who’ve been banned for allowing a known banned person to continue to post. I am under no obligation to do that. |
I do feel faintly embarrassed...for Clive.
