Suma, Baker puts everyone he bans on ignore. That spares him the bother of taking PMs from them. Also, Baker avoids open threads where he might have to answer for his actions, like this one. So when Baker, on his closed thread, takes shots at people who post here, it is only natural those people would want to respond. And finally, since this thread is the Compendium of Liberal Fiction, a critique of Baker's and X's daily dose of leftist drivel is always on topic. -g-

Perhaps you should ask Baker why he's so fascinated with his bannees that he compiles statistics on them. My personal gripes about Baker: 1) He slanders the people he's banned collectively, does so even in his thread header. 2) He reads the posts of the people he's banned and placed on ignore and comments on them indirectly. Which seems weird and drives home the point that his bans and ignores are meant as insults. 3) Baker is also a sneaky creep. I recall his once trying to get jim p - a onetime valuable contributor on Big Dog's thread - banned over some inocuous comment - characteristically he didn't say anything to jim p about his complaint or to anyone on that thread but approached SI mgmt on another thread. 4) Then there is the intellectual dishonesty in passing off partisan liberalism as centrism. Why don't those of you who have issues with Dale privately mail him Because he puts non-liberals on ignore. That's why. and express how you feel. This is a forum where we can do that. I feel badly if you got banned from his thread but maybe you could pm about that too. Again, he doesn't accept PM's from non-liberals. As to being banned from his thread, that's no big deal. It's his rudeness and condecension that rubs me the wrong way.
