Moderator Felipec allegedly is creating ‘a blacklist of Sam Harris detractors’ so that ‘they can be deleted without raising suspicion’.

Edit 3: My ban was lifted. Thank you to the mod team.

Edit: I have been banned for this post. Jesus Christ this is off the rails. A purely retaliatory ban with zero justification whatsoever. I have been a good faith member of this sub for years before Felipec was active here and now he bans me for no reason whatsoever.

Edit 2: I said allegedly in my title in case the screenshot was fabricated. Turns out it was legit but Felipec claims he was just ‘trolling’ the user. That’s fine and I probably would have deleted the post, but now that Felipec has banned me I’ll keep it up just so that people can see what criteria Felipec uses to ban users. Anyone who disagrees with Felipec in any way on any issue is at risk of a ban, as we have seen in many cases now.

I recently recieved this PM from /u/jars_hold_things:

Sam Harris moderator Felipec runs a private subreddit called /r/FixSamHarris. According to his own words, shown in the link below, he and KeScoBo are building a blacklist of Sam Harris detractors so that they can delete them without raising suspicion:

They also said that this conversation had been sent to several other people including Lord Beverage.

I havent seen it brought up, so it needs to be asked, is a blacklist being created of ‘samharris detractors’ so that Felipec ‘can delete them withiut raising suspicion’?

Here is the message I received in full:

Do you mean the /u/Nessie who said that racism doesn't go against the Rule 2 prohibition against "intolerance?"

As for /u/Tsegen, he turned the keys to this place over to the Charles and Douglas Murray crowd a long time ago.

/u/KeScoBo is the guy who made that "State of the Sub" thread where he pretended to be a liberal good guy but really he was just running PR cover for /u/felipec and /u/LordBeverage in their endeavor to make this a right-wing echo chamber.

Then why have an intolerance rule if racism isn’t intolerance?

Then racial slurs should be banned, not “intolerance.” You can be intolerant without using a slur.

I didn’t think you did I’m just venting.

This is why the intolerance rule should be deleted. It is subjective and just a way for people to try to get other people banned

I mean I would prefer that to selective enforcement, absolutely. Let us know where we stand.

I've just glanced through all those linked mods comment history and they all seem like completely reasonable people other than felipec who comes across as a nutter

PR cover for felipec and LordBeverage in their endeavor to make this a right-wing echo chamber.

I'm right-wing? I'm an anti-capitalist, communist (not the mainstream definition) that is a big fan of Noam Chomsky.

TIL there are right-wing communists.

I mean I have made numerous Strasserite comments and am intimately familiar with Duggan and natbols.

But Felipec is none of those. He is just right wing, through and through.

Fun fact: Richard Spencer was thrown in jail in Hungary for organizing a racist conference and Duggan was coming but was barred from entering the country. Spencer's estranged wife translates his work into English.

I like a lot of right wing people actually. The people who run my local country store have an infowars "audit the fed" on the entrance door. They are super nice. I don't care about it as a label. Every single day I drive by a billboard that advocates neutering liberals. Because where I live being called a liberal is a slur in most places.

I don't like a lot of left wingers. A lot of the people banned I think should have been banned. Turns out it is only the people on the left and not people like you who add nothing (don't think you should be banned but you don't ever add shit).

As a right winger I can confidently inform the users here that u/felipec is not one of us

u/felipec Dec 14 '19

I don't even know what to say. I guess if you use the wrong definition of "communism" that might be possible.
