You do realize that if that were the case. He'd simply hit the ban button and be done with it, don't you?
I've been on boards where the owners simply ban people they don't like for no real reason (and frankly they have that right if they own the board) and THIS board is NOT one of those.
Gotta go along with that.
I seek out left leaning boards to see if they can rattle my cage. I have been banned by DailyKos and Democratic Underground for simply going against the current train of thought.
DK is different though. After you been there long enough and gotten along you become a trusted user. Each line a person writes has a + or - next to it. Anyone can tip up (the plus sign) and TU's can do the minus. Enough minus on a post and it disappears (hidden from all but TU's). Enough hidden comments and your posting is suspended. All I did was mention that Obama blew off visiting troops in a hospital overseas when he was running for pres. In about two hours the feeding frenzy was over.
At least here you get to slug it out.
