>>Most of the moonbat threads, like his, have upwards of 30 bans. Most of the rightwing and balanced threads have just a few bans.

Combine those with the fact that most "ignores" on SI are by closed minded nitwits, like Dale and X, or by banished leftwingers who somehow went off the deep end, and it becomes obvious which political philosophy promotes open ideas, and which doesn't.<<

Bill -

So you mean the conservatives, who came up with the notion that it's wrong to question a President during wartime, are more open to new ideas than liberals? That's an interesting conclusion to reach from an unscientific comparison of a few threads on SI.

Of course, your use of the term "moonbat" shows how willing you are to listen to what liberals have to say.

By the way, I notice the "Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry" thread has 75 subjectmarks and only one ban.

I'd say there are closed-minded people on both ends of the political spectrum.

Even PWGB with GZ going crazy on bans has:
Member SubjectMarks: 433 | Bans (39)
That is a ratio of over 11:1.

Someone might use the Don't vote for me I voted for Kerry (or whatever it is called now) as an example. I believe it has had over 40 bans at times.
That gives it a ration of over 1:1.
