What exactly did Yoho do to finally catch a ban anyway? I usually just read the threads here but must have missed that part.

About 3 weeks ago, he was just over the top in the....Ukraine thread? He was insulting/belittling another forum member IIRC. Mods finally perma-banned him. Long time coming IMHO.
Edit: Yeah, around page 430 in the Ukraine thread.

Yeah, I was away when it happened. It's funny that antagonizing and annoying the entire forum was permissible, but targeting an individual member for such abuse was what finally prompted a response.

Abusing a long term member that was open about his wife passing away and then eventually getting his dream job of becoming a firefighter. Yoho's narrative was that CP is a left wing echo chamber and that left wing posters are mostly poor, leaches that take advantage of social services.
He decided to disgustingly attack the poster who announced that he had to step away from his dream job due to respiratory issues, claiming that he was just abusing the system to get paid not to work as liberals do. It broke my heart to read, what a horrible human being.

I would also like to publicly apologize to the mods as well, as a I took a few days sin binning for going after the mods publicly for not dealing with Yoho properly in the past when he made the post that got him banned. I was so mad and I lashed out at them, calling for Yoho's banning and suggesting they wouldn't do it because they don't have the balls to deal with trolls.
I'm sorry for that. I got a nasty email to go with that sin bin and I completely agree with it and support it. It's not their fault, they have a tough job and I went over board because I struggled to read Yoho's ugly stuff on this board.

Elon Musk gets grilled by Last Week Tonight's John Oliver in must-see segment
John Oliver gave a nuanced look at Musk, and explained why everyone should care.
https://www.thestreet.com/technology...st-see-segment
"Whether we like it or not — and the answer is absolutely not — a huge number of very important things going forward are going to depend on how Elon is feeling, which is a terrifying thing to say about anyone, but especially this guy," Oliver said.
Oliver admitted that he was actually "more impressed" by Musk's achievements after doing this story, but "more worried that he's the one who's been doing it."
He pointed out that Musk's undeniable power shines through an illusion that he's going against the grain, even if his archetype has been seen all throughout the history of humanity — and rarely in a net positive way.
"He cultivates an image that he's simply too visionary, too original to play by other people's rules, and he waves away the damage that he does at the cost of innovation and saving humanity," Oliver said. "But the truth is: that way of thinking isn't remotely original. We've seen it so many times before. The least surprising this on earth is middle-aged billionaire CEO, with self-serving libertarian views, increasingly racist politics, and a Messiah complex."
"It is long past time that he face the kind of accountability that comes with that — and not just from the echo chamber that he bought himself online — but from everyone whose lives are very much affected by him," Oliver added.
the rebuttal from Musk:
https://thehill.com/homenews/4367447...iver-takedown/
Musk responded to Oliver on Monday in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Oliver was great several years ago, but stopped being funny when he sold his soul to wokeness where humor is basically illegal,” Musk wrote.

That was a fantastic episode of ripping on Musk.
Musk, of course, wouldn't know humour even if it Xitted Teslas on him from exploding rockets.
