Gee I figured he was banned more for his constant posts like this: To: Grainne who wrote (88613) 11/18/2004 10:59:29 AM From: Jewel_o_the_West Read Replies (2) of 90030 "This part of your post seems to not about the subject X is discussing, homosexuality, but sort of a veiled personal attack on X, and an attempt perhaps to rehash ancient uglinesses." What ever grainne.... Here we go again. Perhaps you missed the veiled third party very personal snipe that X offered. Since I have seen them dozens and dozens of times, I find them to stand out like a like a sore thumb. She always uses a third party rube like you as a (usually quite willing) vehicle for this ploy. That is her way of plying very mean spirited and personal attacks while maintaining deniability (which by the way she doesn't do, she leaves that up to her willing rube). If that is your role here fine but don't expect me to role over for you. Sheesh... guess I'll be joining laz soon. I have seen several sites disintegrate over this X-phenomenon ... I noticed that several posters tried to clue you in but you resisted. All TOO transparent for those of us who have seen it so often. I will give you the benefit of doubt since you have been away for a while but you MIGHT want to listen to some others on this. ........ I haven't posted to him, or about him- until this post, which still isn't about him, but IS about the kinds of posts I've seen. They have been nasty, and there has been nothing directed at him by me- although I do realize he takes my opinions about polite behavior as personal attacks, but they are not meant that way, and I am not responsible for the way he personalizes general remarks.. So, while I don't recall asking for anyone to be banned, I didn't think it was a terrible decision, considering his level of animosity. I wouldn't think it terrible if Grainne didn't ban him either. But as a constant target of this person, as well as a constant target of yourself (who I also, you will notice, almost never reply to) I think you and he and a few other people, are way over the line with how you treat me. Last word is yours. There will be no profit in discussing this.

JA, the double standard here is glaringly apparent. And I have been visiting here just for a short time. I like the place, and might even consider buying property here, but I'm not sure how long I'll last. Liberals insult and castigate at will (well, maybe they occasionally get a "please stop") while conservatives are taken to the woodshed, or even the firing squad, at the drop of a hat. In my case, a comment "She has a big blind spot") provoked about 5 lengthy remonstrations, lectures, scoldings, etc. My backside still hurts. Late last night was train wreck here, but mostly liberal inspired, so it brought only mild rebukes, if any. I am going to guess that the authorities here are not aware of this difference at all (I would say "blind spot," but I daren't"), and believe themselves to be "fair and balanced" as they say. This post may just about do it for me. Oh well.
