(2,720 posts)My "fifth" hide there a while back was for saying that 'a racist-flag waver doesn't have any business talking about the race card'. The guy literally had (and still has) a Confederate flag as his logo, which is absolutely 100% racist - used as the emblem of the KKK for nearly a century. But it got a hide.
Skinner is wrong to think that a "community" of reasonable people form around political discussion groups. It seems to only attract the absolute wingnuts, who have basically nothing interesting at all to say. If I want to read alternet, or listen to Rush, I'll go there directly. No need to come here to hear people parroting things - especially things that aren't actually true.
But heaven forfend you tell them a little truth, even obliquely. They get all offended by it. And try to abuse the jury system, alert stalk, etc.
