Political beliefs are very much like your taste in music, everyone else's opinion is shit except your own. To answer the thread question, assuming it was asked in good faith, been a subs-paying member of the Socialist Workers Party for over 20 years. In Topcat's terms, the bus is pretty much going where I want it to go although the journey is taking longer than I'd like... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 There was a good chance that Steiner had been here before, but Stormzy and Steiner were obviously not the same poster, no idea why people continued to imply this. I was shocked that Thorongil knows Steiner offline, but it kinda makes sense as they're both terrible posters. I'm going to assume they both know Meldrew too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know him offline. We don’t agree on much, but we get on regardless. There needs to start being consequences for people who make false accusations of “alias”. Warnings at least. @mods please remove this alias. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a separate note I don’t like the “all politicians are shite” mob most of whom have never done anything more than vote (maybe) and gripe on social media. If you’re so dissatisfied do something about it or shut the f**k up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the fact that Steiner appeared very soon after Stomzy was banned, and both appeared to have identical writing styles, and invariably spouting the same far right, bigoted, sectarian pish. I know for a fact that they there are two different people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 This speculation could run and run. I take it there's no chance of a mod coming forward to explain why Scott Steiner was barred? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres being an active contributor to the Marketplace of Ideas and then theres spraffing about 500 stream of consciousness style posts a day all over the shop. Edit: doesnt help your case if about half of those are pretending to do wrestling moves to other posters with accompanying gifs.

Maybe the real Scott Steiner found out about this imposter and threatened to sue P&B if he was not barred immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
