> is ban evasion

FWIW, that's not the definition of ban evasion.

Specifically, ban evasion is attempting to evade an active ban already in effect, e.g., registering an alt.

A fit of pique doesn't redefine a term.



Sure, at least in my experience, that's what the phrase usually refers to. But that's not what Elon and I are using it to refer to.


The exact moral equivalent of a policy saying "no drinking and driving" then you and Elon desperately redefining drinking as a glass of water.

That, as much as anything else, would lead to everyone having drinking problems:

But I get it now, you're doing comedy.


Nah. Maybe if PG was banned for ban evasion there would be an equivilance. But PG was banned for something else.
