A false conservative follows “liberal” rules...

I should care about a whiners Twitter account on a private universities server?

My impression is that Liberty U is a unique place run with a heavy hand by the founding family. The students get an excellent education in an environment that promotes values, is safe, and has a wonderful college life.

I'd equate that with a student who chooses a military academy. It's a great education, but when they sign up for it they know how it works.

Falwell responded back to Young, saying he wasn't blocking those who disagreed, "only those who badger, have made up their minds and refuse to be confused with facts."

Seriously? A university president wrote that?

Blocking people who disagree with you is truly pathetic. I can see blocking people who are profane or insulting, but this sounds like more than that.

Tammy Bruce has me blocked on Twitter and I don’t know why. I barely ever tweeted anything to her and I don’t even remember ever disagreeing with her. I love listening to her. Weirdness.

No Cruz endorsers need to block anything because no one knows who they are.

Actually, Cincinatus’ Wife is doing important work — vetting Trump.

I too support Turmp more than I ever supported McStain or McRomney — more than GW Bush actually.

But Cincinatus’ Wife brought up points in other threads I was not aware of.

As for this twitter zinger, seems weak to me too.

I bet most high traffic twitter people use backdoor methods to communicate. Might hire someone to auto-respond. Might be a good idea for Falwell Jr too. Life is short. Hurts student access, but only takes a few to ruin the flow of communication.

‘Tammy Bruce has me blocked on Twitter and I don’t know why.’

Some people hate flattery. Some hate too many chirps. [Or tweets.] Humor varies. Sometimes your name might be similar to a creepy stalker’s.

Sometimes you might be too much like me. I got my email blocked once even though it was a bran new book agent email system, so new that there were no written rules. Still blocked, several years later. The way life is.

I got banned by another book editor — I clearly broke the rules that time.

BYU has a morals contract that their no pre marital sex and a star Basketball player got busted a few years ago and suspended for the NCAA Tournament.

A Sports writer blasted BYU ( even though the player said he deserve it.) But at the end of the piece the writer said I found the School for my Daughter.

Trump supporters like you are the most vitriolic I’ve ever seen during my years on FR. Just like your messiah.

“A lot of people think those who support Trump have jumped the shark.”

Now that’s funny coming from you. Talk about living in an alternate universe.

My guess like most of Cruz supporters and the lwft the replies are very nasty.
