This guy is going to win the BABOON OF BAN award--I swear it!! Here he attacks a poster who posted an article... tnr.com He insinuated that he was preparing to ban this person for posting free thought from another person! Message 21855683 "For me, it's a question of decorum rather than offense. I use that lingo plenty in private but not on SI, since it's in all our interest to keep this a cleaner place than the Yahooligan zoo. Also, gratuitous name-calling aimed at Bush or Hillary or whoever is out of place on this thread. I am interested when polls show changes in political perceptions, and dissent from a politician's ostensible base is also interesting. That tells us something about the political landscape out there. "Bush sucks!" doesn't. Cheerleading and name-calling are opposite sides of the same coin. They don't teach you anything new except the emotional fervor of the poster. Periodically I go down the list of banned posters here and see what they are posting elsewhere. Almost invariably, I find the same kind of playground trash-talk abuse that got them banned here in the first place. We can do just fine without the crap-slinging contests." A TRUE BABOON OF BAN! I have never encountered a bigger phoney! I guess he is here for the free advertising at the HTTS newsletter. Is he still advertising his business on SI??
