also if i do recall, matt never outright said lra2 was "permabanned" iirc in the old discord he said he was banned indefinitely, so this autism over what permabanned means can stop
Just saying

Hi, my name is Matt and my username is not 090901.
I appreciate all the thoughtful (and not so thoughtful) input on the matter. This is something I plan on mulling over long term. In the meantime, let me make something perfectly clear.
The community, somewhere along the lines, coined the phrase permaban. Not me. And yes, LRA2 was "Permanently banned" years before I was an admin. The decision to unban him and let him rejoin as Avalanche a while after was not made by me, and if you will recall through some fairly recent posts I've made, I let it be known that allowing previously banned, stigmatized users to rejoin under a new username was not something I would be tolerating going forward, because it's a shady practice and I have no interest in hiding our intentions from you guys. I have no intention of calling anything I do here permanent, long term bans included.
We allowed him back into our discord under supervision, as we saw him mingling well with others elsewhere recently. It's not totally out of the question that he's done a little growing up. Maybe. We don't know for sure. I know some of you lot have tried to antagonize the sh** out of him, and for the most part it hasn't worked. Shame on you for testing him. That's our job, not yours.
