Now OT threads are going to be even more boring circlejerks than they already were.
Also, you feel the need to constantly bitch about him, but Tongpu gets off fine? What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Any guess as to what it is that did him in?
I got the impression that On Topic Conversations tended to intimidate people who believed they were not smart or educated enough to contribute to the threads there (at least I remember a few people saying that at some point). I would guess that decreased the diversity of tropers (and thus viewpoints) expressed in those topics, but I am not sure about that since I am not a regular in those parts. Sorry if that is not quite relevant to what you said. I am a bit concerned that I may have misunderstood you.
On your second point, I think it is generally not a good idea to complain about tropers anyway. From what I can tell it rarely actually does anything aside from making people defensive or generating personal grudges that are unfounded and make it difficult to look at things post-by-post. I think such grudges can make it harder to benefit from conversations because one reads certain tropers' posts through one's own pre-conceived notions of those tropers rather than what is actually said in those posts.
That being said, I suppose some people respond to constructive criticism and suggestions and I do think that behavior that explicitly breaks the rules should be reported. I guess I might like to see clearer rules though.
Specifically, he was banned for dismissing gay history as the study of "Americans who liked anal sex".
