I’ve been a member of quite a few forums since the turn of the century. I’m very careful not to break site rules and have always had an amicable relationship with mods.

I’ve been banned from at least four sites - so far - since the lockdown started. No, I didn’t violate the rules, but I’ve made the Karens go nuts, violating the rules all over the place. At the end of the day, it’s just easier to get rid of one guy than ban most of the site, so that’s what they do.

We are living in interesting times.

Me too! I said nothing hateful or hurtful. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of leftist modes of operation. 1984 is today

Part of the rationale of "Freedom of Speech" is that you need a healthy dialog from all sides of an issue. The actions of the monopoly social media sites flies in the face of this principle.

The key here is "monopoly". In the prior century, there were curbs on ownership of TV and newspapers, with the goal of maintaining multiple outlets with multiple points of view.

I would like to see Twitter and FaceBook broken up like AT&T was back in the '80s. Specifically I would like to see the two sites fragmented into personal, teen, and political. Do the same with YouTube while you are at it.

I believe that an ancient Chinese curse was "May you live in interesting times." Hmm. We certainly are there with the likelihood of more interesting times.

Wiki says otherwise but Wiki is Wiki. If its political the article is suspect.
