and when I looked back through a few pages of those that were banned, I found no evidence of their being a ‘never-trump’ advocate or some of them trying to undermine anyone

Well then you're still not paying attention, at least in the vast majority of cases.

Don't forget also, that when someone sez "Jim I hate you, you dirty Trump-loving SOB - #NeverTrump", that post itself could be deleted as well as a zot occurring.

But any attempt to push the false idea that people are being zotted merely for supporting Cruz is simply incorrect. Too many members have seen these raging flameouts with our own eyes.

We are each individuals, and moderator decisions, therefore, are unique to that individual. IMHO, the vast majority of zots have been richly deserved.

Jim is the only person with his finger on the zot button, as far as I know.

Some people, when they have lost an argument (whether based on fact, emotion, or both) exhibit a tendency to go antisocial and "flame out" in their self-rightious rage.

Either that, or they really are trying to be propaganda mouthpieces for the Establishment.

There's a debate that occurred in this community. The debate has been settled, and it has been settled with a massive amount of consensus, which has shifted from the early favorite, Ted Cruz, to the presumptive nominee, Donald Trump.

At some point, therefore, posting vehement and slanted propaganda becomes, in and of itself, a detriment to the community. When the owner of the site, therefore, announces new guidelines for what constitutes abuse of the forum, the "guidelines" should be honored, not pissed on.

This site is Moderated. If it weren't, any number of trolls (Leftist or otherwise) would have wrecked the place already.

My point is, JimRob is perfectly entitled to exercise editorial control over what gets published on his site, when he thinks it is merited. I, personally, happen to concur with his desire that his web site not be used as a conduit for Enemy/GOPe propaganda.

I don't think JimRob needs to be guilt-tripped for his actions, which were and are reasonable enough.

In short, I totally reject the accusations made by the vast-majority of those who have had their accounts suspended.

They'll get over their butthurt, and, unless their crimes are particularly egregious, they'll come back when they have gained a little more self-control.

Donald Trump has won, and the "NeverTrump"/Cruz fanboy flameouts are unnecessary at this point.

Vote Trump

[[This site is Moderated. If it weren’t, any number of trolls (Leftist or otherwise) would have wrecked the place already.]]

Like i told GG- go through Jim’s comment page and notice that those people were not trolls- some were even long time supporters of this site i beleive-

[[I, personally, happen to concur with his desire that his web site not be used as a conduit for Enemy/GOPe propaganda.]]

And anything that isn’t ‘support trump 100% is ‘enemy GOPe propaganda?

you know, Gatewaypundit site used to be a great site, breitbart used to be a great site- UNTIL they took hardline positions that worked to divide GOP=- not unite thjem

If you all think this kind of selective republican culling is conducive to a healthy diverse party- then whatever- I see it as tearing apart the party- as a whole- There are many good peopel that sincerely felt Ted would be the best candidate, and who honestly didn’t trust that Donald was as conservative as He is claiming- and they aren’t holding these beliefs in soem conspiratorial effort to disrupt the republican party- these are simply heart felt feelings and beliefs- and many of them would, if trump gets the nomination, support him if their candidate doesn’t make it- As much as i dislike Kasich- I would Never ever ban someoen for supporting him or even posting about him constantly- That’s simply not what this party should be about

We should be able to amicably agree to disagree on issues- but many here can’t seem to bring themselves to do that- and then turn around and blame those with different viewpoints of trying to destroy the party?

[[Well then you’re still not paying attention, at least in the vast majority of cases.]]

You can look for yourself- I’m not making this up-

I stand by my previous post about this issue-
