In the comment that got him banned, Advancedatheist said:

we need to restore a healthy patriarchy where women can't get sexual experience until marriage

just after he implied that lack of sexually available women was a viable explanation for two cases of mass murder.

I don't think it's "abuse of power" to obstruct the dissemination of such abhorrent views, especially at a website that has world-improvement as one of its central goals.

Is it an abhorrent view to turn away people fleeing the Holocaust? To eat babies? To kill a person for their organs? To divert a trolley to kill a person in order to save someone else? To state that some populations have higher IQ than others? To suggest that divorce is harmful to children?
