There was a period toward the end of the primaries when not one negative word against Newt was allowed. If you had posted your comments during that time you would have been purged.

Bull. You are making that up which is why no one remembers the period of the 'anti-Gingrich FR purge', it never happened.

It's a matter of perspective.

If a poster hated Gingrich, Zots were the fault of Gingrich supporters.

If a poster hated Palin, Zots were the fault of Palin supporters and so on.

The problem with this is that some of the comments were SOOOO nasty that they were removed when a Zot occurred.

Zots were the fault of the poster that was zotted and no one else. Each of us is responsible for our own words. Blaming someone else has become very popular and is a cultural flaw in our current liberal society. No one takes responsibility for anything. It's always the "other guys" fault.

Look at this thread. How many have stated that their friends were zotted because they were baited? Those posters chose to respond angrily and/or cross the line in some fashion. They made a choice
