I used to even like octopus once upon a time. He didn’t always post the way he does now. I don’t know what happened to him. Was it Trumpism? Read this thread: > [@Black Hole Matter Distribution](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/black-hole-matter-distribution/726352): > > A few black hole questions: Since Hawking Radiation causes a black hole to lose a set amount of mass per unit time as a function of radius, wouldn’t that information be sufficient to determine the distribution of matter/energy within the black hole? With regards to the space time curvature is that basically the time coordinate is changing as a function of radius? So if we look at each layer of the black hole sort of like an onion, how is it that stuff with a different time coordinate interact… That’s a cool poster. I like that guy. Not as enjoyable but okay in his next thread. > [@Free Speech Consequences](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/free-speech-consequences/756390): > > Another shitlord getting what he deserves for provoking an anti-Trump and anti-American mob with speech. [Trump supporters injured/bleeding after protesters get violent in San Jose. - YouTube](https://youtu.be/a4ITP5-efLY) At least he’s trying to have a real discussion, though he screwed up in the OP (and admitted he did so). > [@Closed Reddy Thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/closed-reddy-thread/794140): > > In this thread, [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=833985](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=833985), Reddy Mercury got a warning for trolling. Now, I’m not going to confuse Reddy Mercury for Jonathan Swift. No offense meant, Reddy. But does a satirical thread that actually has a point merit a warning for trolling. I mean the quality and number of political threads that fill the boards about each and every tweet of President Trump are full of language as over the top and frankly ridiculous as Reddy’s satire. Sometimes… Still okay. > [@Revolutionary \[War\] Statue Destroyed](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/revolutionary-war-statue-destroyed/794761): > > It’s funny that those who warn that placating a mob won’t satisfy the mob are vindicated when slippery slope worries once again manifest themselves. Some vandal took it upon himself, herself, \_\_\_\_self and destroyed a statue representing a man from the Revolutionary War era. Again, this isn’t about the civil war or slavery or anything notable. This is an attack on civil and democratic self governance. It’s an attempt to build a climate where if you aggrieved or offended or outraged you can roun… Here is a pretty good discussion. Some disagreement, but civil. Even complimenting people he disagrees with. This is the octopus I remember from years ago. > [@Topic Ban is Unfair and Unjustified](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/topic-ban-is-unfair-and-unjustified/822097): > > I broke no rules. The only thing I’m guilty of is being unpopular with a subset of posters who strategically misrepresent posts. This is what I mean when I say people need to be worried about weaponized language. Regardless of the facts, an accusation can be very damaging. Engineering\_comp\_geek claims there is going to be a discussion where I may or may not be banned from the rest of the SDMB. Is it based on rules I broke? Warnings I never received to ignore? Or is it based on unpopularity and … This is where I start to see today’s octopus. And everything from that point on is garbage. It’s pretty sad! And I’m not saying that with snark or sarcasm. I liked him once. ☹ --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/octopus-heres-your-own-thread-to-shit-all-over/815550)._
