"What is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature. If men were angels, no government would be necessary" ~ James Madison Was just confronted by this quote in a YouTube video, and thought it was too serendipitous to not share.

I note that, all 1,031 of BBBmer's non-censored comments are still live on the site, and that many of these express strong political opinions. We don't know what was said in the expunged comments, but this does not support the claim that SP had an axe to grind beyond her inability to be civil in her discussions. Framing BBBmer as the "victim" is also problematic. Getting 41 warnings to change your attitude in regards to participating in a community is plenty of notice to re-think ones approach. And what about the users who were abused by her? Are they victims? What about SP? Is it also a victim? I don't find the word "victim" to be particularly useful for untangling the issues here. From what has been presented, it does not sound like BBBmer cared for the community, the site, or the debate, as much as she cared about herself. She should accept the consequences.
