That's not exactly true, IMHO...OWK gets his point accross, and the respect he's earned over the years allows him a pretty free reign in posting his opinions until he crosses a line that I believe he knows when he crosses. Those of us who have been around for quite a few years are not usually ZOT'd unless we really work at it, IMHO. Sure, not everything's perfect around here, but to think that it ever will be is utopian nonsense.
Do libertarians and non-Bushbots have a shorter leash?! Yeah, probably, but it's still a pretty long leash.
FReegards...MUD
It depends on the general mood and you know it.
OWK has been given free reign because of his intelligence and decency in posting. His worst posts are still far more decent than most of what I see here now or have for years. He has been allowed back for one reason and one reason only. He is a decent man with well formed opinions. He brings to the discussions here something that is now sorely lacking on far too many levels. Real and honest debate. That much is definitely to Jim's credit.
