They both just ban people who's opinions they don't like. I should know, I'm banned from both. I've posted on both. Some opinions that I have posted here I wouldn't post on LWP. Others I wouldn't post on RWET. Why? Because they wouldn't be appreciated. I don't think the threads ban people whose opinions they don't like so much as they ban challenges to their world views. Stay dry. Karen

I saw this in one of your earlier posts: <<RE:Well, yes, but that's simply accurate physical description. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, dear boy. Insulting someone because of your opinion of their looks is obnoxious, IMHO. Is Rush criticizing the Bushes' parenting skills with all the recent news of their daughters breaking the law? Somehow, I doubt it. >> And I agree with you: banning for that is an overreaction. I was surprised when you told me you had been banned because, judging from what I've seen of your posts, I would not believe you would be in any danger. I do not believe you should have to worship the party leader, or parrot the party line down to the last detail. Even though the poster who started this thread and I can barely stand to post to each other, I am allowed to post here. This thread isn't moderated; you can't be banned. Now, IMHO, that's what the USA and the rest of the free world (if it really exists) is all about. And I think LWP and RWET have a right to exist as private clubs - a gathering of like-minded people. I should know, I'm banned from both. You may have to start your own political movement. :-) What will you call it?
