RE:Frankly I fail to see a difference between this approach on RWET and the same approach on LWP. They both just ban people who's opinions they don't like. I should know, I'm banned from both. LOL. I have a question, though. Since Poet has left SI, who is moderating the Porch thread now? Anyone know? Even though the poster who started this thread and I can barely stand to post to each other, I am allowed to post here. Now, IMHO, that's what the USA and the rest of the free world (if it really exists) is all about. Have a nice day. I'm into my fifth day of flood/flash flood warnings in New Orleans, it's becoming tedious.

No, I will not enlighten you. My being able to post on the RWET thread will continue to be a quandary for you. Perhaps you were banned on the LWP for your behavior, and not for your political extremist views. You claim to be a super sharp poster, so figure it out for yourself why I have not been banned from any board on SI. An attempt was made to ban me on the RWET about three or four weeks ago. The poster formerly known as E-Bill called for my ouster, and two others also voted with him. However, others defended my right to post there because they believe in America and freedom of speech and the rights of the common working man. The coup attempt failed. Re: "Personal insult is not encouraged on this thread": Now we're playing the "sensitivity card," are we? This from someone whose chief purpose on SI is not to engage in lively discussion, but to exclude those whose views differ from his own. How do we spell hypocrite? With or without the final E?
