[MrSanders]

Suspicion is one thing, but falsely accusing somebody else of being part of a conspiracy is another. I consider it an insult of the highest order that I would even be lumped together with the left on much of anything.

I guess what I'm saying is its a rude welcoming when you've been spending the past few days fighting off the most venom-filled radicals on the left over at wikipedia, and you come to a supposedly conservative place for relief but one of the first guys there calls you what you were just fighting against!

It's kinda like standing on the street corner all day with a Bush sign then going to vote and the Bush push card guy calling you a Kerry supporter as you walk in.

Maybe apologies are in order from me and you just came in with this post at a very bad time..

You should understand MrSanders, there have been dozens of postings over the past few weeks of new people signing up here trying to create a 'cabal of censors' (as one put it) to trash Wikipedia or to create some sort of 'right wing censorship' brigade over there... Obviously exactly opposite of the individualism of conservatism...

Sites like the Democratic Underground have taken posts from these threads, usually from knee jerk comments, and have used them to attempt to paint Conservatives as extremists who mass censor wikiepdia.

Before that, there was a campaign by DU to start a letter/e-mail writing campaign to on-line pollers accusing us of hacking polls to make the in favor of the President's actions.

Of course, no one 'hacked' any poll.. they twisted the announcement that there is a poll as somehow trying to modify the results..
