    I’m not trying to be pedantic here, especially since I’m new to posting here, but I have to ask: why can’t we just ban them? Would we not ban Matthew Heimbach just because there’s a picture of him holding a communist flag? To anyone paying attention, Rainer Shea has been a long-standing problem in virtually every active communist community on the internet. He polemicizes anyone who doesn’t support allying with the US far-right. I saw this post 2 months ago and he’s gotten so much worse since: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram/comments/139750w/petition_to_ban_rainer_sheas_blogaccount/

    Do we just not have the resources to enforce a ban? I think he should be treated the same as Wisconcom.

    I also support a wiki page and would contribute to it.

      Personally, I’m not against banning stuff like that either, but there is educational value in discussing it critically as well. A lot of people here are well informed and are able to intelligently address such articles which helps others learn in turn. I’m not a mod though, so would be good to hear what our mods views on this are. :)
