I have some people on ignore so its a little difficult to follow the party line here. However, let me just point out that the title of this thread "GOP winger lies"... pretty much says it all. Otoh, that "politics for pros" thread is a complete misnomer. That politics for pros thread is the SI equivalent of FOX- "fair and balanced". What a bunch of BS.

Anybody who wants to be hounded on stock threads by RWE's- go to the "politics for pros" thread. Otherwise stay away.

What are those people going to do when Bush collapses in 04 anyway? Probably spontaneously combust.

he probably didn't want all the baggage they bring on his thread.
For the record: E was not banned. So much for that baggage.

But your argument is the equivalent of "He robbed a house 10 years ago. He's served his time. But the fact that he did that 10 years ago is sufficient reason to throw him back in the slammer."

If there's that much baggage left, it will soon make itself apparent in a manner where no one will argue with what happens. LB did not wait for that. His policy was shoot on sight.

NOW: JLA does this on RWET on a regular basis. I've done it on VWRC. But there is no pretense of evenness or fairness on either thread. Fate is determined by politics and the headers say so. LB claims some sort of fairness. He simply fails badly to deliver.

And, BTW, I am hardly the only one of this opinion. And ny opinion to this effect did not form as a result of this incident. It definitely predates that. I can prove that.

PT banned me from his War thread without cause or explanation. A real lowlife move
I will personally put the question to PT.

I wasn't kicked off P4P, I left, along with a few other people. My reason for leaving was that LB posts rules and doesn't follow them himself, is exceedingly partial in his application of the rules to others (application varies according to whether or not he agrees with your politics), and has bad manners.
