This is my first time to this forum - I actually found you courtesy of the Democratic Underground, if you can believe that. They found my little regional forum (where we lean conservative but it's by no means absolute) and did a virtual panty-raid - proceeded to go crazy on us with their absolute hatred and vitriol. Needless to say, we deleted and banned several of them for foul language, etc.
When we found out where they were coming from, several of us went on their forum and posted rather benign messages like "Don't hide - we welcome all political opinions here" and such. To a man, we got deleted and banned. Seems the Rules of Their Road say that it's for extreme liberals only and any other opinons will be deleted. They then made comments like "They delete you over at Free Republic if you're not a right-winger" and bashed you all for First Amendment violations (the irony was stunning).
So the question is: do you all delete people who have differing opinions, as long as they're not using ugly language, flaming or otherwise being disruptive and abusive? Just curious.
I know that one of the best things about our forums is chasing off the lefties with logic and fact that they can't counter. Makes them revert to name-calling and flaming. Right now they're so outmanned that they're reduced to taking shots at Prescott Bush and his Nazi ties. So, of course, we brought up Old Joe Kennedy, which made them foam at the mouth. *lol*
I hope not! The guy is an danger to our security! Maybe if someone gave him a baseball bat to replace the one that was taken from him when he was 11, he'd be satisfied and go away...
Gotta go. Hope you have a lovely day!
Methinks you'll like it here. Welcome home...
The key word being bashing. Reasoned, fact based disagreements with a Bush are A-OK, right Jim?
DU has it's Gorons.
Although most of us like W, we're not Bushdroids...
No, but at least most of us don't have our local airport named after him. *sigh*
The rules probably forbid me from saying where I'd like to give it to him...
