Hmm, where have I heard this before... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=195789&highlight=banned&page=4 While I'm at it, let me quote one of my favorite mod posts of all time... seems to apply to rtsy.
It's pretty simple Ok: Not Ok: If you refuse to acknowledge the worst forms of political incorrectness, then you don't belong on the forum. R2k has been more than fair in laying down the law since I've been here.
Oh brother, get me a handkerchief. I thought it was liberals who liked to dodge taking responsibility for their actions.
Exactly what was crybaby about my post? I cannot believe I am getting this reaction. I have never been banned so which actions am I not taking responsibility for exactly? How is saying something like "Not really moderators fault." inflammatory?
I guess you are referring to this. Which was an honest question. Now having thought about it, I have made my conclusion. Thanks for bringing that post up because as you can see I got crap for that honest question, just as I did for this fair and honest evaluation. Both times i got accused of whining which is the funniest part.
Are you deliberately dense? "they [so-called conservatives] cannot control themselves after getting dog piled by the majority of liberals here" Boo hoo! So it's really liberals fault because some so-called conservatives cannot control themselves? Give me break!
I previously asked a question because I was curious. Now, several months later, I have made a conclusion. Seems logical to me and not really the same.
I don't think it's a mine-field that is that hard to navigate. There's plenty of creative insults you can heap on Obama without getting racial. I think conservatives stumble upon the racist ones because they are drawn to them. Besides, it wasn't impossible to screw up with Bush either. I think Kanye West accusing Bush of hating black people was an instance where people's racial sensibilities were offended and the reputation of the speaker was damaged.
Has this thread turned into another victimized conservatives thread? To answer Casey H's question off the top of my head I can think of a few liberals that have been banned. CreepyFloyd Rocketman95 (Now Googrux) Batman Jones New Yorker (Now Sweet Lou) I am pretty sure there have been more who have served sometime banned. As for conservatives other than DaWhopper, SaintCougar, and that guy who claimed to be a black woman (actually I don't know if he was banned or just quit after being exposed as a 20 something white guy). I can't think of more off the top of my head. There does seem to be a lot of conservative posters who show up suddenly and blast away (MojoMan is one that comes to mind) and then are not heard from again but I don't know if they are banned or if they just quite posting. I suspect though if we were to quantify it it wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't a big disparity between "liberals" and "conservatives" that have been banned.
New Yorker was the screen name that was banned, and the crazy guy behind "New Yorker" and "Sweet Lou" himself said that New Yorker was a neo-con persona.
If it appears that conservatives take the consistent abuse on this site, it is because they are usually selfish, rigid, self important, pseudo religious dimwits. Letting them know they probably shouldn't take that shait out is public is a service to them really.
