Baker could hold that ban list down by simply asking people politely to leave to avoid divisiveness, but he isn't civil enough to do that. Good grief, I see Bearcatbob and Geoff Altman are on the list now.

Thanks for the welcoming message. I just had a good laugh after reading Dale Baker's thread header message.

“This thread will focus on the moderate 20-30% of the American electorate (less on SI, we have learned) who shun blind partisanship and the hate-filled politics that go with it. We will poke fun at the foibles of the hardcore right and left, and showcase efforts to preserve and build a viable political center… Criticizing one group or the other is not partisanship. It’s what the center does – evaluating and often rejecting the policies of liberals or conservatives in favor or more moderate, balanced solutions. This thread does not exist to please conservatives or liberals. Just the opposite.”
