This is why I do not post on leftwing subjects. The most rational reaction is to post on subjects where there is rational thought. Posting on subjects such as Dale's, Chin's, Sioux's or Tsi's is a way to ratchet up your bans. It is not a method of engaging in rational discussion. It is difficult to be fair when you have a bias. Foolish moderators claim to be fair, while engaging in bias. These same people on the liberal subjects receive their programming the leftwingnut media without questioning its bias. When people with similar bias use insulting labels to refer to organizations and people who do not have the same extreme bias, they subconsciously think the harmed party deserves the treatment. It is easy to take the next step of systematically banning anyone who is "extreme". For the biased leftwingers that is probably over 50% of the population. We know that the moderators above appear to fall into this category. There is no use in even engaging in rational discussion on subjects where leftwingers control the ban button. They love to hit it, and only engage in time out bans for outrageous leftwing behavior. Dale posted recently that he reads posts of banned people on other boards to ensure his bias. Chinu has restrained himself from banning recently, but given his past capricious nature, I am unlikely to give him the opportunity. The capriciousness is quite likely to return by November. Besides as you pointed out, he posts rudely to others. If he were to change that behavior for a significant period of time, I might consider posting with him more. Two of those post almost exclusively on subjects they moderate. This appears to be to ensure that they cannot be exposed to mainstream or conservative viewpoints.
