If you were a mod, who would you ban?

Mike Naso (aka Reaganfan) and Krazen, most definitely.

I don't see why they should be banned.  At least not for what they do here.  I don't know what anyone does on other sites, and I don't much care.

There are very, very few I'd even think of banning, let alone advocate for it, and I don't have anyone on ignore, and never will.

PittsburghSteel, the most annoying and partisan user here by all standards.

He's certainly in the running for all of that, but that's not a reason to ban someone.  That's not really a reason for a "good talking-to" by a mod.

I would ban the following individuals:

1. 136or42
2. LandslideLyndon
3. AtorBoltox
4. maineiac4434🌲🌹
5. DoctorImperialism
6. Ghost of Ruin
7. ProudModerate2
8. SWE

There are several others who I would give a temporary ban or a warning to.

I wouldn't ban any of them, but these guys are, by and large, the ones who have expressed the most personal animosity toward me.  (Ghost of Ruin excepted; he's "out there", but it's not personal with him as it is with the others, who are often nasty in a way he's not.)  I'd add Invisible Obama to that list.  But I wouldn't ban any of them; indeed, I don't have any of them on ignore (and some of them have disparaged me quite explicitly and emphatically).  This is Atlas; not everyone likes you or I here.

What's the justification for Reaganfan? Making Atlas a safe space for lefties and RINOs only?

Probably just LimoLiberal since our resident insecure children can't help but shower every troll post he makes with attention and it has a habit of ruining election threads.

Just ban the people like PittsburghSteel who feel compelled to respond with "outrage" to every troll post of Andrew's.

Also, I don't understand why people want to ban ReaganFan, krazen and Sanchez. I'm sure they're terrible people, but it's not like their unrepresentative of ~40% of the country. Presumably (or hopefully, rather) most of these Atlas Dems will have jobs at some point where they'll find they have to work with and tolerate assholes like ReaganFan, krazen and Sanchez and pretend to be friends with them. You can't just stick your head in the sand, folks.

Sanchez didn't even support Roy Moore, so he's actually far more reasonable, moderate, and sane than 90% of Republicans (see sig, lol.) I'm not sure if Reaganfan did or not.

Even ExtremeRepublican would be a RINO by many standards due to insufficient loyalty to Trump, lol.

Of course, supporting Roy Moore isn't reason for a ban.  It may be a reason why one wouldn't vote for you, but it's not a reason for a ban.

Nobody, because most people that haven't been banned don't deserve to be banned.

"Most" and "All" have different meanings.  

If forum rules and ToS are "anything goes", then no one should be banned.  "If" is the operative word here.
