This account (anonfordays) has never participated in good faith. Why is it still not banned?


I've been seeing this (calls for bans of accounts who aren't in lockstep with liberal/progressive ideals) more frequently here recently.

Why?


>> never participated in good faith

> aren't in lockstep with liberal/progressive ideals

These aren't the same thing


I know, that's my point.

Increasingly (from my limited view), people with a progressive viewpoint seem to be making this claim ("account X never participated in good faith and therefore should be banned") without any real grounds for doing so.


>Why?
