And if I went to Lindybill's thread and posted a whole bunch of global warming alarmist articles I imagine I'd be banned tout sweet too

Perhaps. And if the reason given was "She pushes the idea of global warming", then I wouldn't agree with the ban, but it would be an honest and correct statement in regards to the ban.

If someone posted here "global warming isn't happening" and "Obama's taking us in the wrong direction", and Dale banned the poster because "His politics don't fit with this thread's purpose", than I similarly wouldn't like the banning, but at least it would be a straight forward and honest application of a standard, rather than what actually happened.
