> See the Holocaust trivialized, glossed over, kitsched up, commercially exploited and hijacked for a tragedy about a Nazi family. Better yet and in all sincerity: don’t.
Doesn't make me really love it much
Seen Jojo Rabbit? Same stuff but with Taika's unique touch.
I personally don't like that British pretty boy. Always pretentious.
And I think I've talked about these movies before. One movie, one Schindler's list, is enough if you want to feel the horrors of the holocaust.
Everything else is finger-pointing: Oh look at these evil people from an ancient time doing evil things, and never a second look at ourselves.
@M.A.R. I think that's doing these films a little short... Especially as you don't need a 'movie' when there's this: imdb.com/title/tt0247568 " the official documentary report compiled from over 80,000 feet of film shot by Allied military photographers in the German concentration camps immediately after liberation."
@Tinkeringbell Perhaps. I'm just sick of WWII being a convenient topic to get 'fake' acclaims and positive reviews. It's like your acting career going down? No worries, just do a WWII movie.
Some of them are excellent character studies, horrifying, or illuminating. But the evil is always distant and something you can't relate to, like something you can't possibly become
While better movies that start from almost scratch, better show how this guy can go evil and how easy it is to be doing something bad in the name of 'greater good' or something
Didn't Soheil paper spam some site a while ago?
Maybe meta.SE, even
This is embarrassing, but where's MS search? Can't seem to find it
@Tinkeringbell The Dickensian fantasy is merely a camouflage for the writer's disturbing yet embellished way of thinking long long distances ahead of his contemporaries; as impeccably compelling an homage as debonair.
There are ways to point out to mods that they've made a mistake, I had someone tell me I assumed pronouns just a few weeks back.
But you're honestly making the suspension a bigger deal than it probably is: If you hadn't come here to talk about it, most of us probably would've never realized you were suspended.
At this point though, all I have is a he-said-she-said: You're saying the moderator made a mistake and you're suffering because of it vs. the moderator that suspended you based on whatever that moderator saw...
I'm not really keen on arguing about this any further. I've given whatever advise I had to give: reply to the moderator message, you can try to appeal using contact-us which you've apparently also already done, so all I can advise now is to wait out the other 5 days and not waste your time/energy.
Mod can only see limited voting patterns, e.g. votes from several accounts made from same source. They can't know who actually clicked the vote buttons.
@Tinkeringbell You don't seem to understand that people seeing me suspended right now is a big issue. Logically, they'd think I've violated the rules to gain rep.
@Ann I hope you do realize that most "zomg why me suspend! I'm innocent as an angel" come from people that are unmistakably guilty of something. So if you want to make a case for yourself, the evidence better be damning.
@AnnZen And they'd forget as soon as you're no longer suspended. You're overestimating how much people remember.
@AnnZen It's basically already on top of your profile. The only things you need to consider is that that doesn't automatically disappear, that you're not getting to be offensive to the moderator team on whatever site...
@AnnZen Honestly, just sit it through and don't mention it again. "I wasn't rightfully suspended, here's why" will have two dozen people rolling their eyes for one that checks out your evidence.

@M.A.R. Meh. I wouldn't make badges just because while right now the right people may be awarded, once you set it as a goal, it might not turn out very well.
> Citronella is naturally occurring oil that repels insects. ... An article in the Malaria Journal from 2011 says that people have been using plants to drive away mosquitoes as far back as the Greeks and Romans, and citronella is now “one of the most widely used natural repellents on the market.”
@AnnZen Suspensions are best discussed only privately, and rarely so, because both sides would need to have an open mind. If you look around chats, you might run into a mod on SO chatrooms, but to discuss it then and there might not bode well. You can invite them to make a private chat and allow you to join it if they'd like, and if they approve, you'd get your conversation.
I'd warn you though, they're often not handed lightly. Very few mistakes were made, but what I know from the evidence is it's often rather strong.
As compared to Deet, which is a nasty chemical, that amongst other things dissolves plastic (as I found out when wearing a Deet impregnated wristband next to a Swatch)
> The EPA stresses that DEET is perfectly safe when used in accordance with the directions on the label. Incorrect application can lead to health issues such as skin irritation, disorientation, dizziness and, in extreme cases, seizures or death [source: ATSDR]. You hear rumors that DEET causes cancer.
> DEET is an effective solvent,[7] and may dissolve some watch crystals,[4] plastics, rayon, spandex, other synthetic fabrics, and painted or varnished surfaces including nail polish. It also may act as a plasticizer by remaining inside some formerly hard plastics, leaving them softened and more flexible.
> While the health effects of overheated Teflon may be serious, using common-sense cooking practices will help you avoid exposure. Summary: Above 570°F (300°C), Teflon coatings may begin to break down, releasing toxic fumes into the air. These fumes can cause temporary, flu-like symptoms known as polymer fume fever.
Not the Teflon and PET conversation. That's all 100% true. I'm not confused by that. I'm just wondering why I need to go read up to see what other mods think... about what...
@CodyGray Nothing serious, we're discussing how Teflon kills you. Ann wants to constructively discuss her suspension on SO, as she believes a mistake was made. To accept the invitation to discuss it is entirely up to you.
> More pathological forms of nails biting are considered an impulse control disorder in the DSM-IV-R and are classified under obsessive-compulsive and related disorders in the DSM-5.
So... I feel like we've had this conversation before in another chat room on SO's chat server. Probably SOCVR. As was stated there, the typical way to protest a suspension is to reply to the moderator message that you were sent announcing the suspension.
However, generally, mods (at least SO mods) don't entertain lame excuses like "it's my brother's account" or "my dog did it", because we've heard them all before zillions of times and they just strain credibility. We're willing to listen and reevaluate if you can offer some substantive proof, but mere protestations tend to fall on deaf ears. And even more so if they're not carefully presented.
I also explained previously that, if you are not satisfied with the moderator team's handling of something, you can go over the moderators' heads to the Stack Exchange staff. I specifically linked stackoverflow.com/contact, which is how you would start the process. Staff can overrule moderator decisions if they are convinced that we made a mistake.
Aside from that, I'm not sure what else there is to say, nor what it would accomplish to discuss this any further.
@AnnZen The general rule is that you shouldn't be doing something with socks that you couldn't do with one account. That includes but is not limited to voting. (just FYI, I have no knowledge of your specific case)
There are quite a few rules regarding the operation of multiple accounts, and they do go beyond merely voting. As surely others will manage to mash out before I get done typing this, the general rule is that you are allowed to have multiple accounts if and only if they do not interact with each other. The canonical FAQ is here (which...I'm sure an MSE mod could/did point you to).
Personally, I'm more on the Jeff Atwood side of things: ["Though it is generally discouraged [to have multiple accounts], as what legitimate reason would you need for multiple accounts? Idle hands are the devil's playground, etc etc."](meta.stackexchange.com/a/35607)
Well, hold on here. Somehow, I got selected as the delegate or representative of Stack Overflow moderators, but I'm not the only person who pokes buttons on that site.
