The user "OliverCromwell" has been banned for sustained and unrepentant violations of 3i of the TOS which could not be remedied by punishment in response to specific violations. A limited tolerance for him was at the discretion of the ownership of the forum.

We will allow him to consider that rules exist for reasons, and that rules not enforced by power will soon become irrelevant.

Question it says he was banned in the Atheneaum? Is it just the Atheneaum or all the forum?

I don't like him as much as the next guy, and I'm pretty Anti-SJW in-general or Far-Left, but did he actually threaten or dox someone?

IIRC, he became aware that a poster here was the same as a fanfic author on another site, found personally identifiable information on that other site, and kept making "references" to it here as a vague threat.

Threatening to dox someone and the sort of stalking required to do that is weird.

Edit: @Zoe You might want to check your youtube link, its showing up properly but doesn't work when I try to play it.

Yeah, guy really kept trying to be all "smug reasonable" compared to us, only I'm pretty sure he ended up admitting things like how moronic your western education system is along with how wasteful non-STEM courses are

Trying to portray the "Western education system" as a cohesive entity is ridiculous. The United States education system is often incredibly different from institution to institution, let alone state to state. Then lumping it in with the education systems of countries like the UK, Iceland, Finland, and Switzerland or Germany? It just becomes laughable.

With Non-STEM courses, its all about context. Someone who has a talent for writing may very well benefit from a creative writing course. If they have the inclination and talent needed to write professionally, it even may make sense. That holds for a lot of Non-Stem courses. However, I do think that there are far too many people taking Non-STEM courses who lack the talent to use them; but the same thing could be said to some extent of even STEM courses.

Plus some Non-STEM courses are needed for STEM students. I highly doubt most engineers want to come off as an illiterate troglodyte in the workplace.

He stated the only reason he was here was to harass users and troll, and made threats about how he had the ability to doxx people if he felt like it. Saying that and then insisting you won’t really do it is not an acceptable defence, because it weaponises fear.

I can also attest the Cromwell reached out to me, asking why someone 'reasonable' like me was on a site like this.

He never replied when I gave him my answer, an answer he probably was not happy with. Now I wonder if I'm the only one he asked that of.

If he was here to troll, harass, and dox, it seems he may have also been subtly trying to make moderates feel like we shouldn't be here.

Good riddance.

Link for the "doxx" part

But yeah, I recall him saying he was here to "troll conservatives"....all while missing out how many of us aren't even SOCIAL Conservatives

Except they'd (both your hypothetical writer and the engineer) would be infinitely better off reading a book or watching a lecture online than paying thousands and thousands of dollars to sit through what is, at best, exactly what they'd get out of reading a book or watching a lecture online and, at worst-and-overwhelmingly-likely, nothing but a daily social justice seminar.
The degree is worth less than the paper it's printed on, because you're getting something you could have gotten for free, for the cost of at least a decade of toxic debt.

Damn, I wish I'd had the chance to fuck with the guy.

I wonder if he was someone we know from spacebattles?
