Reject bad behavior when you see it. That’s all you can do. In the same way that we need to draw attention to the holocaust over and over even though we know it likely won’t stop it, we need to point out bad behavior over and over again even if it doesn’t stop it. But don’t point out bad behavior when there’s none to be seen - that just weakens your argument.
Okay, in the future I will know not to engage with you. If your position remains firm that as long as he claims to support Palestine, that I must believe him (despite a lot of contrary evidence) and keep my mouth shut, we’ve nothing to talk about
There was never any indication I was trying to change their behavior. It was pretty self explanatory that I was making others aware of it. Something they apparently give zero fucks about.
Reporting them for being toxic a dozen times has done jackshit, mods themselves agreeing with everything I’m saying here hasn’t either.
This is more the behavior I was talking about. You can’t force the mods to do anything, all you can do is try, and continue to do so even as it continues to yield no meaningful results. Just like those pointing out the tragedy happening in Gaza understand their incessant posting isn’t likely to change anything besides building solidarity with those who are suffering. But again, when people agree with the message behind a post, they aren’t going to join you in brigading against the person posting it, even if he may be posting it for unscrupulous reasons.
At the end of the day this post didn’t get anyone to vote for Trump, but it got people to think about Gaza just a little bit more, which is a good thing. If you want people to add their voices to yours crying out for OP’s ban, you need to draw attention to it in places where they actually did something people will get upset about.

The fact that I told you I tried that and it didn’t work just flew in one ear and out the other. I meant it when I said I give up.
The fact that I said you need to keep trying even as it doesn’t work clearly flew in one ear and out the other for you.

You can’t change someone else’s behavior, you can only control your own. The results are the ends, but the means are more important.
