Universal Censorship at Leftist/Atheist Message Boards

[ChemEngineer]

I posted at a Left-wing message board some time ago and was promptly banned for "trolling." This is the Leftist excuse for censoring opinions which are not in atheist/leftist lockstep with those of all the members there. They flock to conservative and Christian message boards and excuse their posts as "freedom of speech." But "freedom of speech" is not practiced at their own. Agree with them, or you are OUT.
Returning again yesterday just to test them, I made three very innocuous posts with no profanity, no hatred, no accusations.
"BANNED FOR TROLLING!"

Big Leftist Brother is watching you, and smacks you down with impunity, like a coward who fears the truth.

This board is case in point.

Though not to the extent of loony bins like DU, certainly plunging headlong in that direction.

Maybe they think you are a known troll on their site and wish to enforce their ban?

USMB is 6-1 Conservative to Liberal

At least~

Especially in regard to those who oppose pedophilia, pederasty, and the grooming of children to be more receptive to such.

Perhaps 2-1 in terms of members, but not in terms of moderators.

I was banned from my own thread here on USMB, in the Badlands, for trolling, by a former mod. It doesn't get better than that.

I see that a lot here..people trolling or derailing their own threads--getting banned from your own thread though..that's some USMB street cred, eh?

You poor dear.

Just look at active posters at any time.
It is usually 10-1 Conservative

In the Badlands?

You really aren't half as sharp as you like to portray yourself, are you?

He's talking about the maudes, numbskull.

In the Badlands no less. He was so eager to drop the hammer he didn't bother to note any details. Westwall, though, so, you know...

Actually he said 2:1 among members
It is about 50/50 in Mods

This is where we differ. You see the glass as half empty while I see it as half full.

He isn't half as sharp as he portrays himself, but twice as dull.

It's not censorship, it's aggressive partisan moderation that creates the echo chambers they desire.

As long as you are applying that judgement to both sides in our cultural battles, I agree completely. Partisans like to hear their views parroted back at them..and unpleasant news filtered and spun before reading.
In fact, I believe that it is the Mod's constant actions that keep this board from becoming just that, an echo chamber for the unhinged Alt/Right~

This board is far from echo chambers like DU.

Moderation may not always be perfect, but it's not bad here, in my opinion.

Maybe you can go there and sign in and post conservative opinions and see that I am absolutely right.
I signed in under a new email, with a new name. They had NO IDEA I had been previously banned.
They're simply cowards. I've been testing such cowards for years. Slate.com, CraigsList message boards are two Left-wing cesspools that decent people must avoid. They drag you down to their gutter level if you are not banned for "trolling."
