My local newspaper, which I used to subscribe to, banned me from their online comment section.

I followed all their rules. No 'hate speech'. No attacking people. No racist comments. It didn't matter. I simply kept posting my opinion that most, if not all, the problems in our city are the result of Democratic politicians, Democratic 'initiatives', and the Democratic majority which keeps electing them.

After I was banned, I cancelled my subscription.

If they're not going to allow me to comment even according to their own rules, I won't be reading their newspaper anymore.

Social media is now run by social justice warriors who don't believe in debating ideas.

There are alternatives to Twitter, I know. But none of them have reached “critical mass” yet.

Jumping to one of them would make about as much sense as if you had jumped to a newspaper one state over to list your criticisms I recon

I watch Vanderpump Rules and Southern Charm at the behest of my rib

I went on Reality Tea to post and lasted two posts

Their excuse was we don’t want Trumpists here

IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes both had very leftist PC gay oriented forums

IMDB. was a huge forum

Once more and more conservatives found it and started upsetting the progressive Apple cart both sides folded their forums claiming cost which is plain bullshite

They don’t want to be confronted period since their stands are emotive and not empirical

We are going to have to do something about this

I disagree with some here on this hands off thing
