<< "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." >> Exactly! Most of the libs banned by Dale are over the top moonbats who are known for their uncivil, irrational debate. Those from the right include some very excellent, well spoken & reality based SI members. And keep in mind that there are an untold number of incidents on that thread were all manner of ludicrous leftist BS gets a well needed harsh reply from moderates &/or conservatives. That frequently is what Dale uses as an excuse to silence them permanently. << "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." >> Well said.
