What ultimately did us in was the nonce admins (spez et al.), their decision to ban /r/The_Donald, and the belief that they had to make a burnt offering of an infamous leftist sub as well, or else the site’s humors would become imbalanced, or something. At the time CTH had developed a reputation for such controversial takes as “kill slave owners,” jokes about assassinating elected officials (which were bowdlerized as “baseball” jokes, to no effect since they picked up on what “baseball” meant), saying “kill cops,” and (I think) brigading other subs?
We were warned a few days before Armageddon. And then the rest is history.
the baseball joke was funny. i think we should bring it back. it's the national pastime!
