From the Feelies thread header: =============================================================== Terms of Use: All opinions are welcome here. However, name calling, character assassination, reliving the past just to stir up trouble [NOTE: This was added after X's speckled past was brought to light], and foul, uncivil behavior in general are not. I do not like to ban people, {Eh? Of the 18 banned, 11 are immediately identifiable as conservative; only one (marcos) is immediately identifiable as LW. This has to mean (a) Granny has a political agenda, or (b) RWers are just a rude,crude bunch. You pick.] and I will give you a warning about unacceptable posts unless the behavior is just horrendous. Please express your feelings without destroying others. This is a place for people who have been talking about tech stocks all day [THEY TALK STOCKS ON THAT THREAD?????} to unwind and discuss whatever, including the neurotic/psychotic motivations behind discussing tech stocks all day, and the pain they hold inside..... =============================================================== Now the facts: We note first of all that Evil Vermn, universally known hate monger par excellance of SI, meets all of Granny's standards for "civil posts" and his posts are "acceptable": Message 20910807 Granny herself, of course, would never call anyone "stupid" or "ill read". Only better than half the American electorate. Message 20708586 Her favorites are incapable of insulting other posters- -even when their insulting remarks are made in response to it having been pointed out that they are evading the subject: Message 20764668 No insults and personal attacks in this one, of course. stupid thinkers who believe GW is a good thing and that civil rights are unimportant. Anyone who likes GW is an absolute moron IMO and is also dragging me and my once free country over a cliff. How can anyone swallow the BS that GW uses to pursue a war of aggression in Iraq? The sheer stupidity of what some people think has forced me to resort to sarcasm. So excuse me!! These are perilous times in the US. A would be "savior", GW, is fooling the people into accepting a police state and morons and imbeciles are enabling him to do it. Message 20807121 Even X agreed to my point. Message 20807152 siliconinvestor.com More insults from one of the unbanned: siliconinvestor.com And more. What does it take? siliconinvestor.com siliconinvestor.com FINALLY Granny takes notice- -with her usual muzzle threat: Message 20814923 Graystone, of course, can do as he bloody well wants. Granny said so. Message 2080812 JLA points out what's going on- -to no result: Message 20810024 Followed by others, including Jewel pointing X's now-well-known tactics. Dithers is certainly on point. siliconinvestor.com Sidney tries to dent he is a liberal (who are we trying to kid?) and to justify the behavior of Granny on a supposedly fair thread by saying she can do what is done on one he claims is unfair. Message 20810600 An insult to JLA is, of course, no insult. A stab in the back by a former friend: Message 20816329 Smithee calls it in a single post: Message 20816654 One bad thing about democracy is that those of us with a real brain have to live by the choices of total idiots. (Granny's words.) Actually, the correct term was coined long ago. It is "Hypchrissy". Granny threatens longnshort. Later he's banned. Message 20818266 It seems her criticizing others is fine; them critizing her or hers is another matter entirely. Well, Granny? You care to justify this? You will get the link PMed to you. There's more in there for anyone wishing to go mining.
