Aug 22, 2020 at 19:37 comment added Gjergji Zaimi I can't say that I have any respect for someone who has fun causing conflict among the members of this forum, exploiting the differences we may have in views and backgrounds. I hope you never return to MO with such intentions.
Aug 22, 2020 at 7:58 comment added Patriot @HarryGindi I was planning to retire this account since I've had my fun, but upon reading that you've been banned from MO after being attacked for over a week, I just want to add one more comment indicating my sympathy. While we may not align in opinion, we share a fate in that we are deemed wrongthinkers to whom the 'progressive' dogma in academia shows little tolerance. I have great respect that you chose to defend your position without a veil of anonimity. I'd like you to know that and hope you stay strong.

Aug 21, 2020 at 9:56 comment added Lucian quid: @Patriot that's a pointless provocation, and it's enough with that. - Quid says it, I believe it, that settles it.

Aug 21, 2020 at 5:11 comment added Harry Gindi Any disciplinary action taken against Patriot should equally apply to Dylan's original hysterical comment, which contains the exact same sentiments (and is in addition extremely uncollegial).
Aug 21, 2020 at 5:06 comment added Emily @GjergjiZaimi Oh good point! gosh, this whole discussion is so depressing...

Aug 20, 2020 at 22:44 comment added Gjergji Zaimi Also, further context that is relevant: Many chat members were engaging with Harry politely over the past few days, but there was frustration about the fact that the conversation had turned almost exclusively Harry-centric. With that in mind, I don't find AngelTC's comment provocative. If anything I am convinced that Patriot's only intention is to stir the pot with any spoon available to them.
Aug 20, 2020 at 21:51 comment added Gjergji Zaimi Patriot's first two messages were 1) "There is a biological basis for racism and sexism." 2) "There's differences between groups of people. Humans extrapolate based on their knowledge. This can cause prejudice. It's OK to encourage each other being open-minded, and to let go of one's early judgement if someone falls outside the pattern. But I often see people take this even further, to the point where prejudices are being shamed, or even further, where the differences between the peoples, between men and women, are flat-out being denied. Such measures run on fear, and is bound to fail."
Aug 20, 2020 at 21:43 comment added Gjergji Zaimi @Théo This time there is more context. See the messages posted by Patriot in the chat room.

Aug 20, 2020 at 20:11 comment added Nik Weaver @RodrigodeAzevedo I believe you are being deliberately obtuse, so I am going to stop engaging you.
Aug 20, 2020 at 19:59 comment added Nik Weaver @RodrigodeAzevedo it is also human nature to like to eat a lot of sugary food. Humans inherently enjoy sugary food. Do you also see no solution here?
Aug 20, 2020 at 19:18 comment added Nik Weaver @RodrigodeAzevedo it is the fundamental source of racism, sexism, classism, etc., etc. If you disapprove of these things then you should want to combat it.
Aug 20, 2020 at 19:11 comment added Nik Weaver All other issues aside, social identity theory is indeed well-established imho. Humans are inherently tribalistic, and this is something to be actively combatted, not magically wished away.
Aug 20, 2020 at 19:07 comment added Rodrigo de Azevedo @S.Carnahan What exactly is wrong with the chat? Unless I am missing the full transcript, I didn't see anything particularly exciting in Patriot's comments.
Aug 20, 2020 at 19:00 comment added Rohil Prasad I think putting up a meta post every time the moderators do something you do not like is probably not the best way to go about things.
Aug 20, 2020 at 14:41 comment added S. Carnahan Mod Okay, I have read the chat, and I think it would be best if you spent your time somewhere that is not MathOverflow.
Aug 20, 2020 at 13:57 comment added S. Carnahan Mod I haven't followed the chat, but the rules on chat there are very different from MO. Anyone with moderator privileges on some Stackexchange site has moderator power there.
