Sam’s been pitted many times during his tenure here, and (I believe) always for the same behavior. He gets points for consistency, at least. ---

Now in the thread about Ought public Libraries advance social agendas in IMHO, Sam shows that he has no clue about what Equality and Equality means, compounding that, he has no clue about what DEI trainers talk about Equity and diversity in their trainings. > [@Ought public libraries advance social agendas?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ought-public-libraries-advance-social-agendas/999737/56): > > > [@Ought public libraries advance social agendas?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ought-public-libraries-advance-social-agendas/999737/53): > > > > No, I was describing what the trainers say. So the people in the thread saying that the left just wants ‘equality’ are wrong. > > Full stop, I just got the training at work, what you say here is not even an educated guess. There is a better place to point this out. And of course, seeing someone that has firsthand knowledge about what one is talking about, was enough for Sam to remember how he is being modded about hijacking threads. In this case I don’t see that much as a hijack, just Sam trying to find an excuse to not find how wrong he is… Again… ---

One of his problems is that he still somehow believes that US conservatives are acting in good faith when they use terms like DEI. What they really mean is n-word – just look at how they somehow blamed the bridge collapse on DEI, oh, and the Maryland governor just happens to be Black, as is the mayor. What are the chances?? Sometimes, they probably mean women in charge of anything. ---

Eh, I’ve never noticed him to be outright racist, just in the thrall of American conservatives for some baffling reason. You’d think he’d steer clear of that up in Canada. ---

He’s been radicalized. He’s not very subtle about it. ---

You’d think he’d steer clear of that up in Canada. “Up in Canada” is a generalization that [doesn’t fit Alberta](https://jacobin.com/2023/05/take-back-alberta-canada-far-right-david-parker) all that well. ---

Seems like this one can be closed, even if just for a week… it’s only fair, as Sam can’t respond. Would like to note that the ATMB thread above didn’t mention that weirdness with his ‘son’, where the SDMB mods gave Sam a pass for the sins of his kid, a pass Sam could never grant Joe Biden. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > Seems like this one can be closed, even if just for a week… it’s only fair, as Sam can’t respond We’ve only done that where the suspension was a month, and it was just the one time. The son snafu never came up in this discussion. This is about his inability to not hijack threads more than almost anyone posting of the SDMB. Even in threads where he was already modnoted for such. ---
