There's no rationalizing with this one. You can go through my past comments and see what happens when you try and have a real honest to gosh conversation. I think if you filter the user, you won't see their posts in a tag. The real tag you wanna use is #grrlski

Thanks! I'll add it.

Please don't let him find that...

I will personally shout him down. If hubski is my bar, grrlski is my barstool. And you don't get to shit on my barstool without me making a big stink.

Why would it work any better there, though?

He'd just Cat Piss Man that place right up like he has #feminism and #race.

How come people don't just tag his posts with #antifeminism or #mensrights or something? Then we can filter off that. That's what they really are anyway, they aren't about feminism, they are about antifeminism.

Suggestions as to why it's not done more are:

* most of the people who notice how badly the place is being shitted up because of him don't get the chance to tag him; they nope out when they see him dominating activity stats and getting shares

* those who filter in the hope that enough filters will eventually get him globally filtered don't see his posts

* troll watchers want to watch the fights

* the majority here are from privileged demographics and still think it is genuine discourse and use the free speech card despite holy fuck look at what that did for reddit.

But anyway, some people have started tagging him #troll, though then someone went way too far and mk and insomniasexx (rightfully) had a sad.

(standing up in the corner of the room) For the sake of demographic data, I am of the unprivileged ilk.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can take it. He can't mute me on my own posts.

It's not you I'm worried about.
