While Graham Linehan being banned is good news for everyone, the part of me that used to like him hopes it& #39;s good for him too. He became unhealthily obsessed with the power he had on this platform and became a cruel, dangerous bully.
He devoted every waking hour to being transphobic on here, and he actively made a lot of people& #39;s lives worse. He also made his own life worse, throwing away his career, friends and family to pursue his vendetta.
I used to have a lot of respect for him, and it was a thrill if he interacted with my tweets. And it slowly became sadder and weirder, until you could guarantee he& #39;d have been actively transphobic within the hour whenever you looked at his account.
The most important thing is that he& #39;s gone and the power he wielded on here is muted. That will make trans people and allies safer. I also hope he gets some help and becomes a better person.
