Hell on the foreign affairs thread I quoted some of Lincoln's racist remarks and was ban. Hell and that was true history

What about the George W Bush thread? I have had major battles with the regulars on that thread and have not been banned, yet. I am not against banning when the terms are clear and fairly applied. If the ban is, or appears to be imposed to prevent honest and balanced discussion, then I would happily object. If the poster is interfering with the flow of discussion by employing some exceptionally offensive, mean, and/or juvenile gaming conduct, I would have a hard time objecting to the ban. ‘Exceptional’ would be hard to achieve on that thread. Some bans are negotiable and are only imposed in the first place as a temporary measure to bring things back to a more honorable level of civility. Have you appealed to the thread monitor?

“I warned you once before about posting things from Jewel here, and I am quite serious.” Here is one who even bans references to other people’s ideas. siliconinvestor.com Here is the referenced post she found too objectionable: The Matrix: The Oracle’s purpose is to create imbalance. She imbalances the formula of Agent Smith and Mr Anderson being oppositional sides of the same thing. The Bible: Jesus’s purpose was to disrupt the authority of the Pharisees. “Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to bring strife and division!” Both endorsed opposition to the corrupt rules of authority in order to return human beings to their more natural state of noble consciousness. “What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?” I don't believe in the Matrix and I am not a Christian. But I still get it. The Social Authority is corrupt and noble beings must fight for the nobility of being human. It starts with dropping the pretense that there is a correct side to be on in politics and under such a premise that 'anything goes' to advance the always correct side... The sides are oppositional likenesses of the same thing. Its all 'rah rah left' all the time ... or its not. Any form coersion is the antithesis of liberty and justice. Social agendas are especially insidious forms of coercive intent. You buy into it, you pay the price. Hint: It aint worth it. Message 21073681 Her only objection seems to be regarding the name of the person who authored the text. Shoot I wonder if she endorses book burning too?
