I only started frequenting AMT recently and I love having a place to talk about the kind of things that I don't otherwise get a chance to discuss as I don't know anyone who gives a crap. I personally don't fear being banned or censored as I'm so averse to confrontation that I'm unlikely to ever get mad enough to say anything deserving of such punishment
I do agree with SD though that it often seems that trolls get away with a lot simply because they manage to portray themselves as innocent victims, while those they succeed in baiting are punished when they reach breaking point. I think more could be done to rein in these people who are simply trying to cause trouble
I do agree with this. I find that the more skilled trolls get away with way too much while thise who actually contribute something worthwhile but are "more emotional" than some others are more likely to get banned.... Really I just don't like lifetime bans. I feel like all bans should have an expiration date, while having no limit on how many times someone gets banned for whatever stretch if time.
All that said, i have been finding the recent trend of (feigned?) incredulity about getting banned from those who seem to be putting directed effort into getting banned fairly weird and amusing. They go out of their way to say things they know will get them banned, and then act offended when it finally works. I'm not sure I get that.

Hope this isn't too late to be considered a late chimer but I still think it shouldn't be shutdown. AMT is a great sounding board while discussing real issues like your favourite colour, food or movie in other threads. It's a nice place to dump unimportant thoughts and feelings.
Nice place to take a dump too, apparently.
Please keep your litter clean.
Is somebody leaving their waist here?

Your question is valid.
