I think he probably racked up a few by repeatedly calling an abuse victim a liar in one of the 184 US politics threads.

That was a week ago, dunno what the last thing that pushed him over the edge was. Fair play hitting 51 in these days of 30 active users.
― Non, je ned raggette rien (onimo), Tuesday, 14 April 2020 08:50 (four years ago) link
Turned out he kept going on the Biden thread. Also someone revived one of the Ban Fred threads which probably helped.

"permanently" is what System says when a ban is issued, the mod has evidently made a note immediately afterward
calz was recently crowing about various ilx0rs being made unemployed and saying it should be a permanent situation, and has rarely seemed to hold back one-on-one - was it world leaders or regular people that were being imagined stabbed in this instance?
― Steppin' RZA (sic), Monday, 10 August 2020 08:35 (three years ago) link
Really, where was the unemployed stuff?
― let them microwave their rice (gyac), Monday, 10 August 2020 08:51 (three years ago) link
I must have missed that, too. Calz didn't pull punches but iirc The Man was always the enemy, not other users of the board.
Mod(s) owe an explanation to why now, because of what posts imo.
― Scampidocio (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 10 August 2020 08:57 (three years ago) link
Talking about members of the music press on various threads, including at least one specific ex-ilx0r by name.
Mod(s) owe an explanation to why now
obv I'm curious too, but I don't reckon mods owe us anything, and it's not hard to imagine calzine rhetoric being deemed "heated" in any given exchange. his baseline is splenetic enough when you agree with his principles or specifics and are familiar enough to know he means well - imagine just wandering into a thread when he's in full flight

xxp that was good, not bad. Not sure how it matters if he’s ex, either.
― let them microwave their rice (gyac), Monday, 10 August 2020 09:23 (three years ago) link
Or are you saying that’s who the bannable comment was aimed at? In that case I disagree, obviously, but defend calz’s right (and mine) to call the man a prick.

Who gives a fuck about whether someone is an ex-ILXor or not? What are we, freemasons or something?

Exactly, the guy in question is an arsehole, I don't care if he was voted ILXor of the Year 2005 or not.

Must be, because I can't see anything "pro-abuser" by Calz or anyone else on there
― Scampidocio (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 10 August 2020 09:31 (three years ago) link
I think there's a cultural divide here, like Calz is an overexcitable slightly autistic dude engaging in the specifically Northern British cultural comedic practice of 'over-swearing'. He's like the Mr Agreeable of UK Politics and I think UK people recognise that he's using ILX as a one-man Punch and Judy show of hitting policemen over the head with their own truncheons or strings of sausages or whatever is to hand.
I have seen people push back at him multiple times over the years, including myself, and told him to knock it off, and he has almost universally come back and apologised when he realises the over-swearing has gone over the line.
He is sweary, yes, in the way that British comedy is often very sweary. But he is not one of the abusive posters of ILX, not by a long shot.

No idea about the bannable stuff / crowing about multiple ilx0rs, current and ex, losing work and hoping it happened to more of them / I don't get more than max 1.02% of the arcane specifics of the beefs-in-principle against one named ex-poster, but if wishing someone permanent unemployment in all fields because they're kind of doofily centrist and pie-in-the-sky as a self-employed political commentator is what's happening then: fine, I'm just saying it reads as harsh in passing

I'm not arguing calz is an abusive poster! Just giving examples of how a completely casual reader might just possibly read him as heated, or a mod might take stabby stab posts as warranting a brief cool-down.

So Calz was gulag'd because a mod for some reason felt an example needed to be set, and chose to build the gulag out of completely random and dime a dozen calz-banter posts. Stern stuff.
