What about Chinu's posts on other threads? He bangs the partisan drum, but he's a lefty, so he gets a pass.
So, if you ran this thread, you would ban anyone who "banged the partisan drum" on any thread? As I read Dale's intent, it's not that. But, rather, it is to keep a civil thread here with folk of all political stripe contributing.
He's doing a fine job, too, by the way. I wouldn't ban exactly the folk he's banning, but then I wouldn't keep on the thread precisely the folk he keeps. But it's the overall effect. Which, as I said, is very good.
Moderating SI threads with the intent of keeping civility is hard work. Ask anyone who's taken a shot at it.
If you don't like it, there are any number of places to post on SI. As I read your posts, you would be most comfortable on may friend LindyBill's PfP thread. Why not hang out there? Bill could teach you a dance or two; take you to Coconut Willie's; whatever. |
