I don’t know of any palin supporters who have been zotted. Pissant was a Hunter supporter who thought Palin was too liberal, and he was zotted but he did make a crude sexual reference to Palin. Of course, that’s the rules, even if selectively enforced; as a 2008 Romney supporter, I learned to follow the rules scrupulously, even if others were breaking them, because I could always be zotted for violating things like “No profanity, No personal attacks, No racism or violence in posts”.
And I saw one Bachmann supoporter get zotted for being too critical of Sarah Palin in a way people felt was “trolling”.
I’ve seen a lot of negative things posted about Perry, but I haven’t seen a concerted zotting effort by the usual suspects yet.
I hope that some of the zotted long-time freepers are just in “time-out”, and will be allowed back if they want.
Not that it should matter, except to maybe old ladies or folks acting like *harpies*, trying to vent and whine, but I know of three Palin supporters who have been banned.
Two were retreads and the other supporter got *carried away* much like rabid supporters of others. Ditto for the retreads getting *carried away* with their support and attacks on others.
A troll is a troll is a troll and a disruptor is a disruptor. Those folks don’t serve any useful purpose.
Jim is a fair broker. I am not a moderator and have never been a moderator, but it’s my understanding that posters are banned most often for being retread trolls -— like the lastest casuality, RINOSsuck -— and for supporting Romney, abortions, the homosexual agenda, and for a history of disruptive behavior and posting. It matters NOT which candidate a member supports, or doesn’t support, so long as it’s not Romney.
Calling supporters *cultists*, is a prime example of disruptive behavior which almost always leads to the start of flame wars. pissant learned that the hard way. He made several enemies and he finally went too far in one of his posts.
We’re all supposed to be Conservatives here, so unless a candidate isn’t a Conservative, like Romney, and for the better part, I’m pretty happy to support the one of my choice and leave the wars about other candidates to their supporters.
All of us have enemies. Some more than others. Not much can be done about that. We can only be responsible for our own behavior and posts. There’s no rule that says every ping has to be answered. Consider the source and decide....lol.
Don’t worry. I’m not fair or balanced, but I’m 100% certain that your zot will be coming soon, RINO lover!
jla’s too.
