Well, which post would be the one for which he was banned? What would the reason be? That he's a lying creep? A nutcase? A zealot? A fool? He is those, but I don't see those as banning violations. If everyone is being driven crazy by his silly ravings, I guess that's reason enough for a ban, but I won't vote for it if I'm not being driven crazy; at least not without some reason being given.

HOWEVER: I would like to discuss a change of the current thread header (without discussing any banned person.)

I propose, and would like to know if there are seconds to this proposal, and thirds, etc., that at this point, the header be changed to read simply:

<<A political free-for-all with a few rules:

Arguments, logic (nods to Steven Rogers and Neocon), reason (nods to kholt), articles, bombast, are permitted. Even the name calling that is such a trademark of the unmoderated threads. "Demolib pinhead" is specifically allowed. "Parafascist pinhead" for the use of those on the left.

Both sides of the aisle, the center (is there such a thing?) and the unclassifiable are all welcome.

Home grounds for liberals:
The Left Wing Porch
Subject 50362

Home grounds for conservatives:
Right Wing Extremist Thread
Subject 50545

The rules of engagement:
It is not the intent of the moderator to favor or discriminate against anyone because of their POLITICAL leanings. However, certain objectionable behaviors will result in banning after discussion on the thread, if the moderator so decides. I may not be able to say what those behaviors are, but I'll know them when I see them.>>
