You are entitled to your opinion. While I have not read your posts of late, the last time I did read your posts on his subject he did not appear to be applying the same rules for you that he did for a conservative that he had recently banned. The absolute number of leftwingers versus moderates and right-wingers banned is only part of the formula. At times the ratio has been 2/3 non-liberals banned to 1/3 liberals banned. It is equally instructive the personality of those banned. The fact that certain leftwingers are not banned and much more polite moderates and conservatives are is more instructive. "folks find his style restrictive. They have many alternate places to post." I generally choose not to post with people who are intolerant and unwilling to debate sincerely. People who do nothing but spout any party's talking points are being didactic, which is uninteresting.

Heh! Heh! If you believe what you wrote remotely resembles reality, you are a self deluded hypocrite helplessly in denial or a willful liar. If one applied Dale's criteria to ban conservatives even handedly, the calumny that is taken at face value on that thread smearing & slandering Bush & his Admin alone should qualify most of the "centrists" to be banned. Add to it the false & baseless assertions & myths that are used to disparage & ridicule the Bush Admin & conservatives in general should be grounds to ban the rest of the "centrists". There is zero doubt that Dale allows baseless, provably false & malicious attacks on the Bush Admin, conservatives in general & conservative thread members specifically to go mostly unpunished, while accurate assessments, mild (and mostly accurate) rebukes toward the left in general & leftist thread members are severely punished with regularity. If it weren't for the fact that most of the leftists there, faux & otherwise are dead serious, it would make for hilarious satire.
