Well then... Can't say I Google members names but that's pretty effed up.

I can't do anything but remove/hide his posts and will do so until he explains himself to someone with a higher pay grade.

In the meantime report his posts that get by until they make a decision.

I looked up his user name long ago simply out of curiosity. Odd for sure but so what? This website has more "Karens" than Carter has pills. If one finds it so horribly offensive then use the block feature then go and hide in one's "safe space." Heaven forbid one spends time on X and gets introduced to the truly terrifying real world. 

Long ago it became apparent there are two themes to this website. First, global warming is a religion not to be questioned unless one wants to be ridiculed, and second, anyone to the right of Trotsky is bashed as a racist, bigot, antisemite or nazi which is why the off-topic section was such a disaster (and the antithesis of free speech.) 

Now, all that said ... I do agree his "Chav speak" (learned a new term today, thank you) is ridiculous and needs to go. This website "American Weather" is not a place for learning lower class British slang.

My point about the username has more to do with a lack of seriousness and the performative nature of the poster coupled with the chav speak (you are most welcome) - I doubt anybody found the whole thing particularly funny or entertaining. Social media is there so you can put on a performance if you so please, I doubt that is what anybody is signing up for in a meteorological forum.

For those not familiar with the Barry Stanton racist Twitter persona, here is more information about it. Plenty more of this on Google.

This would track well with Barry being the alt account of banned member CurlyHeadedBarrett, who also played a persona filled with "Incel" language, and whose last profile picture was Elliot Rodger, a mass-murderer who is idolized in the same spaces as the "Barry Stanton" persona. Not to mention the numerous other similarities/idiosyncrasies that have been brought up already.

SAL is currently a problem in the MDR and Caribbean right now. This looks more like July than September. https://www.wyff4.com/article/saharan-dust-suppresses-tropical-development-during-peak-season/66012941
