No kidding.
I’ve had three screen names there over the last decade and always watched my P’s and Q’s. ESPECIALLY with the last one.
No multiple postings (even though several of the Ldott chosen do it all the time).
No calling posters by name.
No attacking posters (I was saccharine sweet with the last name especially) even though posters like TheMotherCo spewed bile at every post.
But I was relentless in the war against the homo agenda and it got me banned every time, no matter how “nice” and rational I was.
The last time was right after the election in the latest massive Stalinist purge at Ldott. Things were getting heated during the campaign and election, especially between the decent folk and the rainbow coalition there, and I was stunned they did not launch the purge earlier.
Then I figured out why.
The election.
They held their breath and bided their time, lest they cause any rifts in the base before November 5th.
Not two weeks afterward the purges began. They claimed it was a slew of people who had been attacking others and so had lost their privileges but it was a lie.
Because some of those purged were posters I knew (including myself) who never attacked anyone - and some of the WORST, most habitual rules violation offenders were still posting when the dust settled.
Coincidentally, most of those violators who were NOT purged were either Neo-cons, Homo-cons, or mindless Bush/GOP bots.
Ahem... I too know of the purge.
Welcome Comrade
The rules there seemed random, you were scolded if they thought you posted “incorrectly” telling you to use search etc. Their search function is lousy. The attacks against others were getting to be common and by the same people. They are still posting. If I posted an article it was to get others to read it and comment on it as I thought the site was about. To be banned because it was already posted 12 hours ago (search never found it) or you had the authors name in capital letters or get this - you posted only 1 yes 1 sentence!
I too was purged because I suspect I didn’t think George Bush walked on water or that I should be a 100% McCain supporter.
Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber yes but not Bush & McCain
I could tell a few stories myself, but never mind. I don’t go over there anymore.
