Re: "You do understand that RWET is not a forum open to all viewpoints, don't you? It is a home for the view from the right. Same as LWP is for the left."

Not entirely true, Laz.

When JLA started the Right Wing Emotionally Disturbed Thread, he recruited me to post there. I blew him off but he came back again a month later, in January, and asked again, with much sincerity. Important point: He sought me out; I did not seek out the thread. That's why I lasted as long as I did ... because I was an invited guest. Until I overstayed my welcome, I guess.

A few months ago, JLA and the other right-wing attack-dog regulars over there decided I had overstayed my welcome. That's when the term "token liberal" and the like started popping up with more regularity. That's also when I stepped up my criticism of him as an ineffective thread moderator for trying to censor my posts, yet at the same time say nothing of those who used vulgarities and obscenities. My post of two days ago gave JLA an opportunity to to banish me, yet save some face, because of his argument that I "resigned." He was quick to seize the opportunity and suspend my posting privileges.

I figured it would happen sooner or later because he is overly sensitive about certain subject matters.

Re LWP: I'm not familiar with what happened there. I never posted there except to inquire a few weeks ago as to whether the thread was still kicking. So don't lump me with anyone associated with that thread. I'm an independent contractor.
