Sure, Bill. You forgot your trademark whine about third party attacks. You'd know about that too, wouldn't you, Bill?

The leftists are the censors here. Conservatives are willing to discuss facts, figures and proof, while leftists ALWAYS revert to ad hominems and censorship. Pretty easy to tell who has the better arguments.

I had a discussion here just yesterday and there wasn't an ad hominem attack to be seen. (I am a libertarian type, not republican)

Is it really censorship though? I believe that people have the right to associate with the people who they wish to associate with. In the 3-D world in Los Angeles, there were a couple of clubs that were for men only (the Jonathan and the California Club). There were lots of objections about this because they discriminate against women, I suspect they weren't too keen on minorities either, but I don't know for sure. Though I would never join one of these clubs, nor would I want to have anything to do with them, I believe that they had the right to exist with their "white male only" charter. I see the LWP and the Mod-Porch as the same thing....if the people want to exclude people who don't fit into their defined profile, that is their right.

There are no censors here e-Billy boy. No parameters beyond those set by SI. And even those will only be heeded should someone go running to tattle.

I'll bet that if I posted something off color, I'd get suspended again. And it wouldn't be the lefties who'd do the tattling.
