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
It isn’t perspective, it is a matter of facts, there was no purge of anti-Gingrich people, for instance many of the Cain, Bachmann, Santorum people were hard core against Gingrich (and vice-versa) with not a hint of problems with mgmt.
This has to be a Romneybot claim, they tend to make up things.
ANY even slightly negative comment at that time got a poster zotted. These included concerns about his triple marriage history, his compromise with Pelosi, his perceived weakness during the Gov't shutdown.
If anyone noted any of these points during that time period they were zotted. Them's the facts.
