In other words there are about two conservatives for every liberal. Therefore one might expect the liberal forums to have more banned RWE's...simply because there are more of them. Nice try, but once more you show us why libs are libs: you do no fact checking at all. Message 20594450 The average number of bans per thread in that list id 46. ONE RW thread (RWET, a clubhouse) is above the average. THREE LW threads are above. FOUR RW threads are below. ONLY ONE LW thread is. Try again. Also, just where does your 2:1 ratio come from? Got proof? Or just more wishful thinking out of thin air because you need it to be that way? Chinu has definitely been a free wheeling banner. The worst threadhead in the history of the site. Bar none. Can't say that I respect banning anyone except for those who ban on their own threads...they would be fair game for banning IMHO THen you'd better have a little talk with Chinu and his ilk. There are a lot of people on their ban lists who don't HAVE threads. That said, I salute MKTBUZZ for the change in heart and a return to openness. Trouble is, who wants to post there with CYBERFREAK, PROLIE, and Jim-spear up the butt-Thompson all returning fire? Excuses. You ALWAYS the option of removing their posts without reading if they so offend your sensibilities. OTOH, you might try goading them to even more extremes. Give them sufficient rope and they will hang themselves if they are as bad as you say. They might just walk right into a termination.

Message 20586820 There's MY opinion regarding moderated threads and ignores. And I tried to sell it to Dave and Bob. Obviously unsuccessfully. The site is becoming increasing polarized into 2 camps that hate each other and have no contact with each other. That's bad. The worst sort of hatred and prejudice is found where none of the hated are present. There is nothing to remind the demagogues that those on the other side are human too.
