@Peatly said in A list of members banned from the Ray Peat Forum:
Not sure why Mephisto has been spared when others got banned for making more benign comments than this
It's due to Charlie's authoritarianism. Mephisto was taunting Charlie with: "just ban me already you prick". Of course, though Charlie most likely did want to ban him, this itch was overridden by his desire to not take orders from anyone.
A similar thing happened when Impero gave him the following ultimatum:
"So, which is it?
Are you taking the True Man of Honor and Integrity Way? (Posting your secret screenshot)
Or the easy way out? (Dropping the hammer)"
To which he replied "both", overriding not only his isolated desire to simply ban Impero, but also his previous decision to not share more proof. He couldn’t simply ban impero because that would have meant yielding power to Impero's ultimatum. In order to avoid this, he had to additionally go against his own word and show proof despite previously saying that he won't do it.
I think this suggests that Charlie cares more about power than personal integrity.
Update: I am now banned too as a result of this post.

Got banned for saying this:
I wasn't even trolling, I've been taking 15mg of copper daily for months and have only seen benefits.I guess having an experience antithetical to the forum owner's narrative is a bannable offense now.

@TheSir well mephisto, who is definitely not me, is banned now too because of your comment, seems like your analysis was perfect. I was not banned this morning before you posted that!
-
@Barghest Ha, my apologies. It does seem like banning you was an attempt to invalidate the analysis. Yet by banning you just to invalidate the analysis, he inadvertently affirmed its conclusion: that he will always choose the action that is least damaging to his sense of power and control. In other words, he couldn't stand the accuracy of the analysis so he attacked it using the exact method the analysis highlighted.

Weren't all of you paying to use the forum? Surely he can't legally ban all of you, especially for simple disagreements or posts on other forums. Seems dangerously close to theft or fraud.

@VehmicJuryman No anyone who was there before he started charging was grandfathered in.
-
@TheSir It's a testament to your eloquence and tact that you were able to last so long. I had been enjoying reading your subtle jabs at Charlie. Congratulations on being banned.

did he ban anyone paying subscriptions?

User “feedandseed” was banned in the original haidut ban thread
Melissa would've jumped in to intervene if she wasn't busy legitimizing Jorge's attacker. Her superpowers are brought up when convenient, but soon defaults to filing her nails while accepting the sportive disposal of members.

I've stumbled upon some of your questionings, they were precise and exemplary. It's a loss for them.

It's a little risky, but shows the concern that they have for members: you're taking something that they regard as harmful and you're dumped to continue to do it elsewhere.

Yes. What hasn't been banned yet?

He banned me. Twice. I joined in 2015 but like a fool I paid the subscription fee because I thought it was a good cause in the memory of Ray Peat. Pretty stupid of me.

I was a "member" too. If the concern was genuine and unprejudiced, equally distributed to all members, instead of being banned I would have received a response such as:
15mg of copper daily is probably toxic, are you sure it's not hurting you? I'd highly recommend reevaluating your stance.
The only concern they have is making sure the narrative being pushed isn't challenged. -

Thank you, glad to hear.

Very telling how no one has dared to respond to that thread. Charlie has established a strong culture of fear. Yet since fear is failing to bring him the respect he so desires, he is now trying to buy it by giving people stuff for free. Unfortunately this will fail too.

No one banned CAN respond to this thread.
