So Poet, X and E are all free to post on RWET? [Afraid I don't know flapjack...] LWP certainly banned for the expressing of certain opinions... but that's why it was set up in the first place, it was expressly NOT an 'open house'; and why this board appeared. I don't actually know who is still barred from LWP nor why, but the only two I noticed barred were trying to rant/polemicise/debate (opinion from L->R). I don't know if there were any pre-emptives; if there were, IMO I'll trust Poet's judgement on the likelihood of those barred being convivial and appreciative company...

Flapjack is, to my knowledge, the only leftie on RWET. He somehow convinced jlallen to let him through the bar. Essentially every one banned from RWET is banned for political opinion. In fact, I know of no other reason anyone has been banned. I lead to many of those bannings myself. Early on, I was the thread cop and turned lefties in for execution. :-) Many people were pre-banned - they were banned before they could even post because their positions were known.
