I may not have agreed in every instance, but approximately zero of the instances where someone was 51-ed and banned have been surprising. Unless you're super un-self-aware, I would guess you'd probably know when it's at least a likelihood.

No, I was using it to describe content and posting styles that resemble behavior of someone on the Autism Spectrum. No like/dislike involved. Just descriptive.
the spectrum is broad (that's why the term "spectrum" was brought into use) & calling things "autistic" is reductive, dismissive, and offensive, and I hope you'll reconsider your position on using it in this way.

I read a couple of other sites where people have weighed in revealing some of our ‘funny’ ex-members as real-life abusers
Is this just going to pass by uncommented on, then?

Maybe ILM is exploding again. The rest of ILX seems to be pretty tolerable atm. Surely one could cavil at a few posts, but no conflagrations in sight.
