"Just asking questions" is the biggest red flag of ill intent, its not doubt I would ban someone for resorting to that. Especially if we look at the facts given in the comment.
" saying at the time we didn't yet know how many doses and on what schedule of the vaccine would be needed."
"I messaged the mods to explain that I was triple-vaxxed "
So we can infer from this post that this happened sometime after Aug 2021. So someone went into the Canada Coronavirus group, a group where posts seem to get tens of comments, and brought up completely innocently, "how we don't know how many doses" we need. To make a broader point on what... could it have been, "how we shouldn't have a mandate?"
Perhaps this was closer to Feb/2022 where the Trucker protest was raging across Canada. Of course, the mods may not want a big flamewar over mandates in their group that seems like a niche information aggregation sub.
- unsupp0rted 3y agoIt would be doubly damning if GP hadn't made up the "just asking questions" quote as if I had said or implied it. Or if you hadn't made up the "how we shouldn't have a mandate?" quote as if I had commented in either direction on that.

- mistermann 3y ago> "Just asking questions" is the biggest red flag of ill intent I consider the playing of the accusation of the JAQ wildcard (an immediate victory in the minds of some subsets of observers) to be a much more dangerous (often literally unrealizeable) cultural norm, it is a go to staple technique in any delusional internet rhetorician's toolkit.

- nailer 3y agoAsking the rationale for drastic action is quite reasonable and he’s very different from asking why somebody doesn’t like you and chasing them around per the webcomic you’re referencing.
- jasonfarnon 3y agoasking questions is also a well-known tactic for getting information. how do you figure out there's ill intent?
- jboy55 3y agoWhen its an excuse for bad behavior. If someone is being told, "You are being disruptive to this forum" and the response is, "I'm just asking questions". Then you know its a red flag.
- mynameisvlad 3y agoLike everything else in life, by using contextual clues and judging the content of the questions. It's quite obvious when someone asks you questions with ill intent.
- raxxorraxor 3y agoNo, it is not obvious at all if you are not able to read minds. It never is and even suggesting bad faith is usually regarded as a faux pas. You believe the example was asked in bad faith? I heavily doubt it, it is a pure insinuation. I believe you are just walrussing here. edit: Never mind, "walrussing" allegedly does exist. But I believe the criticism still can be understood.

- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoIll intent to do what? What exactly would they accomplish if not banned, and were allowed to continue to "ask questions"? Why should anyone be afraid of them achieving that accomplishment?

- raxxorraxor 3y agoIndeed. Just very practical if you really don't have an answer.
- jboy55 3y agoWell, when someone says you are being disruptive and not productive to the discussion, and your retort is, "I'm just asking questions". Then you have stepped over a line.
