Considering that the only thing she seemed to enjoy talking about was homosexuality, and all about how it's "the debbil", I'd say no. She never really contributed anything positive to the old board (not to mention that she was a compulsive liar with at least 3 socks).

Would you still say no if she had gone on and on about the detrimental effects of circumcision?

She was a sociopath, a liar, twisted people's words around, and accused pretty much anyone that disagreed with her of being a homosexual. With that in mind, I don't personally agree with permanent bans, though she did violate the rules several times and I believe was even warned. If she does come back, I would suggest implementing an "Ignore" function for people who don't want to deal with her weird, erratic behavior.

Because that doesn't address the part about her being a compulsive liar with multiple sock accounts.

Those are at least up there with the great shrimp controversy.
People shouldn't be banned on the basis of what someone else considers a non-issue anyway.
Ada thinking gay stuff was wrong was the least of her problems.

If we have enough people who want to see her back then admin might consider to let her back on this site. But keep in mind that getting enough votes won't let her back on the board by itself. It will only initiate the process of getting her back (subject to some other considerations as well). about half the posters in here wouldn't even have lives or an internet special friend if she is permanently gone.

If it's true that one more than one occasion she manipulated her Facebook privacy settings to make false doxxing claims on a public forum, I would advise against her return.

I couldn't in good conscience support it. Despite the enjoyment many seem to get from non-stop fighting with her, she's obviously disturbed and needs to get some help, not exacerbate her mental issues with the "fighting everyone all the time" thing.
Mind you, if the votes go that way, I had given up any serious interaction with her long ago, so no skin off my nose, as sad as it would be to see.
She could be adequately replaced here with a vending machine that gave out chits that said either "Old" or "Gay" when you hit a button marked "Disagree".

I rarely engaged with her, but she clogged the board with her endless bickering and I came here less because of it.

I don't care since I didn;t interact with her much.However, if she is allowed back, it would seem to indicate people just want a punching bag. I can't think of any result other than the previous ones, so people must want that. This.

People should (IMO) absolutely be banned for discrimination, bigotry, or offensive comments directed towards groups of people. People can "think" whatever they want to themselves. It's when you express hatred that crosses the line.

Coming soon to a theater near you. Ada's Reign of Terror II: Fool Me Once, Shame On You...
In cyberspace, no one can hear you scream. Unless you use Vocaroo. Okay, so they can't hear you scream immediately.

Why would she need to come back? Are SuperCreepyDude and Sam Vimes demanding that she be allowed back? Did they realize without Ada they have no one else to interact with?

It's when you express hatred that crosses the line. You choosing to determine what is bigotry is not something the board as a whole should be concerned with.
I never quite understood why people thinking that shutting someone up from an honest opinion would actually result in benefitting society anyway, but I guess people have their reasons for hating speech.
If your feelings get hurt by words then it's you that needs to move on, not everyone else.

You choosing to determine what is bigotry is not something the board as a whole should be concerned with. It's not a matter of ME personally choosing to determine anything (you're missing the point). Bigotry is something that is well defined and it's up to the admins to determine whether or not it is acceptable on these boards. What concerns other people in this regard is frankly not my concern. I was simply expressing my opinion as to why people like Ada should be banned based on certain behavior. You are at liberty to disagree. I never quite understood why people thinking that shutting someone up from an honest opinion would actually result in benefitting society anyway, but I guess people have their reasons for hating speech. All things being equal, the simplest explanation is the best. The reason people act in a hateful way is because they are hateful people, generally speaking. Silencing hate is ALWAYS beneficial to society. That's why we (as a society) place certain limitations on "hate speech". Regardless, whatever the reasons are are irrelevant, and I doubt the average person cares too much. Allowing hate to prosper is detrimental to society. The only thing necessary for evil to prosper is for good men to stand by and do nothing! If your feelings get hurt by words then it's you that needs to move on, not everyone else. I agree. Fortunately my feelings are not a factor in this discussion. I have no particular feelings for or against any poster here, I'm just expressing an opinion based on an observation of a particular poster. More to the point, right and wrong shouldn't be determined based on "feelings", but rather on morality and ethics. Feelings are irrelevant!

She serves as a useful reminder of what appalling human beings actually exist.

Voting on existence? Leaving it to a mob? Good old mob justice. You guys are proof that "Ox Bow Incident", "Jungle Fighters", and all those other films against mob mentality are far from obsolete.
Totally sick. She defends herself against lynch mobs and the lynch mobs scream bloody murder. I'm moving back to Saturn. yeah, my car.

I would vote if I knew what Ada did to get herself banned. I'm honestly surprised that she was banned. Did she doxx someone or post pornography?
