If I remember incorrectly I apologize. Honestly we have little need for shitposters these days, the community just isn't big enough for that. Again it doesn't matter what your job is, if you're going to troll the thread over and over, you don't belong here. Go do that on reddit.

Even Hehe in the George Floyd thread isn't as bad as this guy... I mean he may never learn but I don't think he's actively trying to cause conflict.

As for his post, he came in calling this place a "shithole" and then incorrectly stated that there aren't varying viral load levels, and incorrectly stated that you are either infected or not infected. It's actually one of the main focuses of research right now, since viral load seems to be correlated to level of contagiousness, but not actually level of sickness one feels. In other words, the people with the highest viral loads are those who are asymptomatic. Just google it if you want to know more.

He then said the reason there are so many people getting sick is because we're doing a lot of testing, he praised Donald Trump and said we should stop testing so much.

It's the same shit as before. Absolute blatant trolling, trying to poison the well, and using appeal to authority fallacy despite getting humiliated over and over again in this thread. In other words, if he wasn't a troll, he would never want to come back anyway.

But if enough people see value in his shitposts, I guess I can't argue with the majority for too long. I bet I could list the 5 or 6 people who'd want that kind of shit here anyway... Then again maybe that's the majority by this point
Given your tendency to, almost exclusively, censor posts that have argued against your point of view, I'm calling bullshit on this excuse.
I highly doubt you'd have banned him if he was making the same argument with another member.

Great way to shed members from the already dwindling stock left and reaffirm his first statement.
