Dale & I are at opposite poles of the political spectrum. Still, I found a lot to like in his non-political stances.

Sam - res.. but--if you are somehow pretending that the "ugliness" or arbitrariness was all from the left, you are distorting the record. I pretending nothing of the sort. You've created a red-herring and then made an obviously reasonable case in a silly attempt to make me look unreasonable. Of course ugliness existed from both sides of the aisle. My references toward Dale's banning methods and practices are accurate. If you have no memory of the "ugliness" then your memory is flawed. Since Dale has been banned, that's all I'm going to discuss about the topic publicly. If you would like proof, I could offer numerous examples via pm. In regard to Clinton, roger, I was mistaken. Political threads began in and around the 96 time frame. That still means it was well before 9/11. I have no intention of addressing the other barbs you tossed toward Bill or others who moderate threads on SI. This threads is designed to offer suggestions about ways to improve SI. I've offered one I believe is important. That being; moderators who ban members of SI should not openly discuss banned members once they've been censored from responding. I find the practice childish. I believe when moderators perform such acts on a regular basis, they should be warned by SI management and if the practice continues they should be prevented from moderating threads. That's my opinion, others may disagree, so be it. I have no idea of your opinion on the matter, since you haven't offered one. However, you do participate on a thread moderated by someone who performs such acts on a regular basis and your cheerleader John openly supports the practice on that same thread. What's that old saying? "A man is known by the company he keeps".
