This forum is full of actual zero contributors - people like jonpaul who never have anything to say, except to complain about Faringdon posting. Like a bot.
Or people like tggzzz ruining their otherwise very decent SNR by zero-replying to every Faringdon thread like a bot. What a weird fixation.
Meanwhile, while Faringdons SNR isn't great, it isn't colossally poor either, probably pretty average stuff. Sure it's all made up X-Y problems, but still maybe 50% of posts discuss some actual technical thing, which is often interesting and special enough that it triggers unnecessary people like jonpaul to try to think, only to realize "oh crap, I don't understand any of this". But there is something interesting in Faringdon's style: it triggers these unnecessary people to write lots of unnecessary replies, where the only thing they do is to reveal they did not understand the actual technical discussion at all. Then they pat each other heads, writing dozens of unnecessary replies.
What a weird fixation to have.
And these unnecessary people are the actual root cause of the SNR problem.
But now you have banned the one who acts as a trigger - a trigger to some childish old farts who have nothing to do except to complain, when they should just follow a simple principle: if you have nothing to say, do not post.
In reality, you didn't have to do anything. You could have left Faringdon allowed to post, and these old farts fixating on their fixation. The rest of us can choose to just add certain names to ignore list.
Now it's totally obvious that moderators officially joined the bullying team, joining the core of the problem, and I don't like that. Not at all. Actually, to be direct: fuck you.
