The almighty ban hammer:

I don't care anymore. The moderators are choking all free speech and killing this board. I am about done here. After 12 years.

Why?
How are they killing free speech.
Just curious.

I was on the (now defunct) history channel forum and was permanently suspended for nothing but getting on the wrong side of a moderator. Believe me that the USMB is the most tolerant and liberal discussion board around.

Well I am a pretty radical liberal....and I find that my posts seem to be just as welcomed here as the extreme fringe element, right-wing conspiracy theorists I see here.
Everything seems to be allowed.

I have only been dinged with warnings twice....both for making disparaging family references to a guy who seems to troll my posts and flame with stupid, ad-hominem crap.

Other than that I have found this board a pretty tolerant place.

You started your own personal bitch in politics, with zero links and calling out mods.
Jesus.
You should know your going to get slapped again.

This site is relatively easy to follow the rules and never get banned.
You also said you were done here in another thread weeks ago.
Glutton for punishment?

 

[MaryL]

I have all but left this board. Getting banned for a week was a blessing in disguise, I didn't even bother to learn the Mod's name, because they won't be here 6 months from now. But it was about liberal censorship. Two names got me banned.

Everyone knows by now.
The proper place for a public meltdown is Announcements and Feedback.
You're Welcome.

That is called the democratic party. Thank you.

I told 'em you didn't have staying power...


In fifteen years I have not once been banned. Am I just not asshole-ish enough?

I never have cared, going all the way back to Mar 9, 2011.

 

[MaryL]

When you get banned for mentioning facts time and time again, then mentioning that thing "offends" and banned for it? Um, diversity and inclusion thing is bullshit.

I was once banned from democraticunderground.com 5 minutes after I opened an account there.

Got banned from ar15.com three times, until someone bought me a two-year membership on the fourth time.

Surprised as heck how I haven't been banned here.

Conservatives are at liberty to engage in hate speech and express their bigotry and racism; liberals are likewise at liberty to oppose rightwing racism and hate; to oppose and denounce rightwing bigotry and racism is not ‘censorship.’

I don't have to be here anymore. And I will not give one thin dime to this place, and the mods can ban themselves into oblivion. Bye bye.

If someone left and you didn't realize they were gone...were they ever here?
