You are entitled to your opinion. While I have not read your posts of late, the last time I did read your posts on his subject he did not appear to be applying the same rules for you that he did for a conservative that he had recently banned.

The absolute number of leftwingers versus moderates and right-wingers banned is only part of the formula. At times the ratio has been 2/3 non-liberals banned to 1/3 liberals banned. It is equally instructive the personality of those banned. The fact that certain leftwingers are not banned and much more polite moderates and conservatives are is more instructive.

"folks find his style restrictive. They have many alternate places to post."

I generally choose not to post with people who are intolerant and unwilling to debate sincerely. People who do nothing but spout any party's talking points are being didactic, which is uninteresting.
