Banned, oh well...
I tried to get throught to them...




_____________________________________________________________________

I think its time to ask you to move on from _______. I'm not sure why
but as i mentioned before, you seem to be determined to be incindiary
and as the steward of the ________ boards, i cannot allow this. I have
given you chances and so has ______. Alot of thought has gone into this
and while i know you will feel it personal, it is not. This is simply me
acting on the facts before me; its not a political party thing,
spiritual thing or any other kind of thing.

I wish you the best and hope that you can respect this decision and not
return to the community.

4. Ah ok
I think they did you a favor. Don't torment yourself by trying to reason with the unreasonable.

5. Try sometime
discussing 9/11 with one of them. I met one who insisted that b/c an Iraqi ambassador in Prague had a notation in his appointment book that said "Hamburg student", that that meant that this Iraqi had met with Mohammed Atta--and that therefore Iraq was involved in 9/11. In between trying to argue him out of this delusion, I had fits of laughter, but they were interspersed with fits of fear that maybe this repuke forum poster was representative of a large part of our population. (Now THAT'S scary!)

Repukes are nothing if not stupid.

3. This appears to be the first known instance
of an internet forum-poster banning a forum--instead of the other way around.

History is unfolding before our eyes...

6. no exit....

This was the email I received when I got home today...

And you are right, they did me a favor...

9. LOL... thank you, Demaholic...
I impulsively posted, right after the other poster said "huh?" to your post.. before you'd had a chance to explain!

Anyway, to return to your point... arguing with those (rethug) idiots is difficult. They refuse to learn. However, sometimes it's fun to get a rise out of them by caricaturing/ridiculing their leaders. And this administration is a walking comedy act anyway!

11. It's easier

to explain in detail what Bush is doing wrong one on one with people... I even changed the minds of two of my co-workers with minutes to spare before the election!

I don't know why I try on those boards.

I'll just hang out here more often!

14. Dammit!
Okay I understand informal posts on boards do not require proper spelling because we are all typing fast and furious but a formal email telling you that you are banned should require some formal language and spelling. You were incendiary not incindiary. And what the hell is with the i instead of I.

15. My Aunt has one of those bumper stickers
looks exactly like your pic. Wish I would see more of them here in Ohio.

16. The CLAN
The mob mentality has come upon us....in the corporate world and now in politics and the military.

We're up against a HUGE power base here. The problem with all of this is the commararderie that they inherently have over us....the desire to be in the "in" group is an extremely powerful force.

We are a vast majority of free thinkers...but it is difficult for us to form the sense of cohesion that they have in their idiocy.

10. I wonder if the Christian right has a web site. I'd like to teach them
the word of god.

13. Just try typing in "www.GodHates(fill in blank)" and you'll
probably find some "Christian" website where you'll see creatures that make the creatures in the Star Wars "bar scene" look normal by comparison!
