I don’t think it makes any sense to try and populate a police watch list with this data set, no. OTOH, I think it makes an amazing amount of sense to populate a hard ban list with it.

Isn’t Great Britain stuck with him?

If they encounter a legitimate threat of violence, yeah, they should alert police in the correct jurisdiction. But flooding police investigators with the IP address and CC info for 15,000 internet assholes and saying “Hey ... when you have a free minute ... want to make sure none of these people are getting ready to…

Yes. And it’s magically scheduled to come online the week before Brexit’s strike date.

It seems to be mainly because of Brexit ... or at least it’s come up repeatedly in that context. Notice how these fees are coming online right as we reach May’s declared date to leave? 

This is because of Brexit.

Trying to use the police to address this problem is a terrible idea. It would be a jurisdictional nightmare of stupidity. Steam just needs to start banning trolls and taking away their games.

I approve of having a few skier only resorts.

And they only did it then because the alternative was to lose their tax-exempt status.

It’s a population that EXEMPLIFIES passive aggression until you put them in a scenario where they think they’re around like minded people.

In fairness ... that sort of person has historically found no problem hating entire groups of white immigrants who arrived not acting/talking/dressing like stereotypical American white people too.

Wow. Did not expect this one.

Yeah ... and chances are that 100% of these kids will be playing pickup rink hockey in about 3-5 years talking about their glory days playing “real hockey” for that under-18 league.

Actually, you totally can. There are a number of Steam policies relating to harassment and promoting violence that would absolutely apply here.

Many of the most racist players don’t necessarily seem to be American ... so I’m not sure if the police could do much in a lot of cases.

Sure you can. It’s a private company. They can ban people for any damn thing they want.

If the arena is kicking people out ... they’ll be yelling from the parking lot. Won’t bother the players one bit.

Yeah. Shortly after I posted that comment the Christchurch massacre happened ... and I thought ... “Ahhh. This. He pictures a whole lot of this.”

Ironically, that is precisely why Beto doesn’t need to put a lot of effort there right now. There are already two policy heavy-hitters sucking up all the oxygen in that space ... with one 2nd tier candidate trying to play the “I’ve got big ideas too” game you think Beto should play.

So ... you covered a typical presidential campaign stop?
