After copious bloviating, SamuraiJeff finally managed to get himself banned from here as well as SocialGalactic for an egregious violation of the rules here. Now, this would not normally be an event worth noting, as it was almost inevitable, but for the very informative reaction of SamuraiJeff to his banning:
You know vox, I haven’t seen ur books on The Pirate Bay. Hopefully some spiteful gamma king posts your books. That would certainly cost you more than 10$ per month (my subscription). You could have just let me have my opinion.
And I will pay that cost happily and without hesitation. Gammas are full of spite and pain, and the poison of their self-delusions never leaves them. This is why there are entire subreddits devoted to hating various celebrities, and even non-celebrities, and it is why I do not permit Gammas to participate in any of our projects.
As soon as the Gamma feels things aren’t going his way for one reason or another, he will turn on you every single time. It doesn’t matter how enthusiastic he is, or that he is your biggest fan, eventually he will decide that you, like everyone else in his life, has failed him. It saves a lot of time to simply let them know they are not welcome, and encourage them to go elsewhere once they draw attention to themselves.
