Was banned from the sinusitis subreddit for telling (apparently a mod) that a deviated septum absolutely can cause a sinus infection. He got upset and banned me- and even denied my ability to respond to the ban.

Petty? Maybe. But that’s the final straw for me. I just finished deleting all posts and then the account. So sick of arrogant toxic mods.

    I got banned from r/soapmaking because I didn’t agree that buying soap that someone else made, melting it, adding perfume and glitter, and pouring it into moulds was soap making and not arts and crafts. I raise the pigs, render the lard, and make actual soap. I was called arrogant.

    I was banned from r/republican for pointing out that the headline of an article that said that the DOJ had found evidence of widespread voter fraud in Georgia was incorrect and based on a letter written by a Trumpist political hack, Jeffery Clark, not the DOJ and that it in fact contradicted the DOJ, the Republican AG, the Republican Governor of Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State of Georgia, and Republican election officials in Georgia. I was called a troll.

    I was banned from r/canada for wondering out loud if the neo-fascist premiere of Alberta who made unethical phone calls to Justice officials about a hateful street pastor charged with repeatedly breaking covid rules then having a secret recording of a phone call with the accused released wherein she fawned over him and promised that she was doing everything she could to help him would pay him conjugal visits in prison once he had been sentenced.

    I was banned from r/freedomconvoy2022 when I pointed out that they had exercised their Section 6 rights to travel freely across provincial borders while exercising their Section 7 right to be unvaccinated to exercise their Section 2 rights to assemble in downtown Ottawa to hold their giant racist, western separatist, Nazi, fascist, white nationalist, sovereign citizen, anti-science, resident harassing, air polluting, business closing, hourly wage employee unemploying, street shitting tantrum.

    Don’t speak truth into echo bunkers.

        It’s amazing how so many people who are 100% sure they are right can’t support their position. I have more than once offered someone making a Gish Gallop about one subject or another, veganism, Trump, the convoy tantrum, “mah rights”, etc the opportunity to have a conversation. My offer always included that we would take each point one at a time, provide credible, verifiable sources, and decide whether each point was right or wrong before moving on to the next. Not a single person ever took me up on my offer. They don’t want to talk. They want to shit in their hands and fling it at everyone else and for everyone else to just eat it.

      This is totally unrelated, but how do you get rid of the smell? I love my lard soap (using store-bought lard) but it always has a very porky smell.

        Yup. A little bit of authority to the wrong person and it all goes for a shit.
