It is, of course, quite easy to beat up on a party who is no longer around to defend himself: that is "chivalry" for you, I guess, as defined by the Lost Cause Squad.

I would remind you of the old English aphorism, that "sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose."

It's payback for all the times you and capitan_fallout gloated over the banning of nolu chan, who was a better poster on the worst day of his life than either of you will ever live to be -- better informed, better at research, more diligent, more workmanlike, better reasoned, and better-mannered.

Read it and weep.

And as much as capitan gloated and crowed, and as much mens rea awareness as he claimed to have about the real reason nolu chan was banned, I still haven't heard the so-called "real reason" (as opposed to the real, "real reason", which is stuck in the mind of a moderator somewhere).

Southerners: Can I get an "amen"?!

If so, it's lonely "payback," at least from the perspective of being you: I challenge you to find a single post of mine--just ONE would do--that ever "gloated" about this nolu chan character's banning.

By the same token, capitan's banning only bothered me to the extent that he brought it upon himself. The crowing from his scumbag enemies who make up the Lost Cause Squad was to be expected, and didn't trouble me in the slightest--either then, or now.

There is something drearily pathetic and laughably adolescent, at the same time, about a poster who formulates their "argument" towards another on the principle of some imagined "payback" for sneers & giggles they fantasize they've endured.

Perhaps you should find a hobby that doesn't simultaneously task you with such psychological freight while yielding so few visible opportunities to enjoy such meager "rewards" as the empty "payback" you somehow believe you've garnered with this exchange in the so doing...

...(*snicker*)...

Nolu Chan was banned posting QUOTES from Abraham Lincoln, in which Lincoln used certain words multiple times that are today deemed to be offensive. The information/post in question has cited Forced into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream by Lerone Bennett. Mr. Bennett is black, and pointed out the hypocritical positions held by yankees and Lincoln.

The post which led to Nolu chan's banishment has been restored, although the thread is locked to further posts.

NC was banned by an admin acting like a heavy-handed, jack-booted thug - the post in question noted that the content was attributed to Lincoln and ridiculed by Mr. Bennett, but is seems that one administrator is a Lincolnite, and can't handle the truth about their hero.

Certain people critiquing the Clinton administration tended to meet disaster, and it seems that some critiquing Lincoln met similar cyber fates. Anyone can contrast the positions of my favourite President, Ronald W. Reagan, and that of Lincoln and find the two were light years apart - Reagan - God bless him - understood federalism and the checks and balances instituted by the framers, favoured small/limited government and personal responsibility - the antithesis of Lincoln's positions of high taxes, big government, a nanny state and the destruction of the frame of government created by the founders.
