He posts in the off topic forum, which does not need to be about finance.  That is why they call it off topic. He is good for WSO, which is comprised mostly of conservative people.  Without him, this place would mostly be an echo chamber.  If you want to start banning people, I would suggest we start with people who post anonymously as a way to hurl insults at others.

Yes but if you cared so much about politics why wouldn't you do it on one of the dozens of forums dedicated to it, not part of a finance website when you yourself don't even work in finance?

How do you know that he does not post on other websites? Why does anyone post in the off topic forum?  The off topic part of this website seems to be the most popular while the finance forums hardly have any activity. 

 

Vaccines aren’t politics.  Everyone agreed with that until the past year, you needed vaccines to go to school or join the military.  But then the right wing disinformation machine decided that would be the next front in the culture war, and now tens of thousands of preventable deaths are happenening.

I disagree with banning anyone who isn't flat out breaking the law (posting illegal stuff) or being a nuisance to the mods by spam posting literal trash. Anyone who has seen my comment threads with Drumpfy knows I extremely dislike the guy. He's pathetic and a blatant liar who constantly spreads his weakly-supported leftist positions around like a toddler smearing their shit on the wall, whose only coherent thought seems to be that if he disagrees with you then you must be *insert 4chan/incel/alt-right*.

That said, there's no reason to ban him. If anything like Associate 2 IB-M&A says above, it's good for him to be here. You want idiots like him to share their ideas and political positions out in the open so they can be torn apart by people who actually know what they're talking about. That's the point of free speech and the strongest argument against censorship. It's a great opportunity for the many college students who peruse this site to see just how insufferable and ignorant many of the lefties who push their ideas on college campuses today are and how incoherent their thoughts are when they go up against the real world.

So no, don't ban Drumpfy. Let him speak freely as is his right on the Off Topic forum. It doesn't matter that he doesn't work in finance, he focuses on the Off Topic section so I don't feel that detail is important. But do continue to mock his lies/inconsistencies and ridicule him openly as it is also your right. Set an example for the up-and-coming youth in finance and just maybe we can nip this progressive foolishness in the bud one analyst at a time so none of us have to put up with it in the future. 

Cut out a man's tongue and all you show the world is that you fear what he might say. Laugh at and mock what he says and you will show the world he's nothing but a clown.

The up and coming youth in finance will get the vaccine.  Or they can find a new industry :)

The decision means all six U.S. banking giants have now instituted some sort of broad mandate that employees get shots or don masks inside buildings — or in some cases do both. Swiss firm Credit Suisse Group AG also set the same September deadline for U.S. staff to get vaccinated to enter its offices there, a person briefed on its policies said.

Yes, because the only jobs in finance are at investment banks and everyone on this forum went to an Ivy League (Fun Fact: I don't exist because I did neither). Keep proving my points Drumpfy, your idiocy does us all a great service.

He is probably a trump supporter who is posting absolute bollocks to make liberals / biden worshippers look bad. 

The mental gymnastics... No one needs to try to make liberals and Biden worshippers look bad, they do that themselves. He comes off better than the majority of progressives I knew in college. He at least makes an attempt, however badly executed, to defend his arguments. Most just chant the phrase or CNN talking point then only go skin deep into any real discussion.

My recent posts have been basic facts that nearly every scientist and expert agrees with.  Common sense

Vaccinations could have prevented the delta surge

Ivermectin is not a COVID treatment

 Tucker Carlson frequently spreads vaccine disinformation

I know most of you guys have got the vaccine too, you’re just on the right wing side of the nonsense culture war and you get mad when I make fun of the dumber folks on your side.

They are just trying to bully you.  It is unfortunate there aren’t more dissenting opinions here.

 It is funny as hell that you can piss off so many people.

 

They WILL back down.  All the major banks, Ivy League schools, and hedge funds are mandating vaccines.  They are too vain and prestige obsessed to quit their jobs over it.  So they lash out at me

 

As someone who has read quite a bit of Drumpfy and considers themselves to be to the left of them, I don't think Drumpfy needs to be banned, and I think it's honestly reprehensible to even bring it up in the first place. Often times, I think Drumpfy makes highly inaccurate statements, such as that over 1K FL seniors were passing each day from COVID-19, when FL has never had more than 300 TOTAL deaths in a single day.

On the Off-Topic forum, it generally plays out like this: Drumpfy makes a CNN/neoliberal post that touts the Democratic party in some way, but features some truths and certain poorly checked factual inaccuracies (like the Florida one). PrivateTechquity gives a principled Fox News style retort that deconstructs the most glaring falsehoods of Drumpfy's initial post and also adds in FLCCC ivermectin stuff for good measure (I consider FLCCC highly unscrupulous on the ivermectin issue because it overwhelmingly relies upon the initial, now-debunked study that showed 90% mortality reduction, which didn't even pass the smell test). I play mediator by affirming certain portions and debating against certain portions of either, while truly lying to the left of Drumpfy. That's the playbook. It happens every time.

There's bigger fish to fry, and shame on this suggestion in the first place. Drumpfy is a pot-stirrer who can be a blind idealogue at times, but that's hardly a reason to ban anybody. I could name a dozen more dangerous accounts on this site right now, but that's not my business.

 

That was a mistake I admit, Florida added 1,300 deaths to the total and I didn’t realize it was over the course of several days.  
 

But the big picture is true: Florida is getting hammered because dumbasses thought they knew more than scientists.

 

Daily reminder that if the roles were reversed, liberals asking for a conservative to be banned, all liberals would agree on the basis they find his arguments offensive.

This is why conservatives lose. They defend the right of liberals to speak their nonsense, while the latter demand the suppression of conservatives at every turn.

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.

You mean if one of three liberals on this site, asked for a conservative to be banned?  Instead of asking for someone to be banned, the liberals will participate less on the site or not at all.  

 

The moment you realize libs are almost cleansed and Wso is a actually a conservative oasis.

This is what WSO is morphing into, which is a good fit for you.  

 

Oh no. You just control and oppress conservatives in:

-news media

-academia and education

-big corps

-social media

-movies

But if we have our own tiny little oasis, we are totally hitler. Suck it jabroni.
