I have troubles at that other forum....
Edited on Sun Feb-08-04 04:16 PM by Edge
I've been banned already. I guess I can't play nice with Republicans. Oh well. Anyone else in the same boat as I am?

Edit: The other forum was Americanforum. Sorry about the confusion.

6. I've been banned there several times...
I wear it as a badge of honor. It has been a while since I re-registered. I have a hard time holding back. The longest I went was several months. I always end up blowing my top. I need to work on that. Ha-ha!

The threads that always make me lose it are the ones where there is a discussion about a crime, usually a child abduction or a rape/murder.

Many, many posters in freeperville blame the victim. Common posts along the lines of: Women soldiers were raped because they had no business being in the military. As if the women deserve it because they are soldiers.They also love to say that the male soldiers are just being men and can't help themselves. Another common thread: Blaming the child or the parents for an abduction, murder or rape.

It's a sickness for them. For myself I just can't hold back in the face of such ignorance and hatred towards women. At the least I have been called a feminazi and a hitlery lover (LOL, that is SOP over there) at worst I have been banned. Amazing that the truth will get you banned there.

5. Yup, I got banned after 3 posts! Dunno why...
But damn proud of it too. I didn't even make any new posts, I just responded to the hatred the repukes were slinging. Didn't even call them names, though I did slightly bash president idiot* in one...

Looks like they're not about freedom of speech at all, I've actually said far worse on DU!

8. Heh...I know what you mean...
Edited on Sun Feb-08-04 04:13 PM by Edge
but I was debating with Republitarian (owner?) and called his president an idiot and stuff...and before I knew it, I was banned.

It looks like there isn't any freedom of speech there. I'm wondering how long that website will last...

9. Does Free Republic have the same rules as DU?
If so, getting banned is a no-brainer. DU isn't about free speech. It's about having a place to talk to like minds. If you want to debate Repubs, you have to go someplace else.

16. Quite right
I'm just glad I've got relatively like minds here. :D

americanforums or whatever they want call themselves should be a bit more about free speech since they're catering to a large group of people, who are inevitably going to clash, especially when one side becomes more aggressive (guess which one as I didn't even have to open my mouth, everybody else was freely posting some nasty things...)

freerepublic is the antithesis of DU in terms of political party, but they can be as restrictive as they want. But americanforums needs to be a little more controlling over people who make offensive posts, or equally allow people to respond to those offensive posts.

But I'm outta there, and I was before I checked back to see if I had been banned or not. They're not worth my time (or anybody's) either way. It'll inevitably become another haven for repukes anyway. :eyes:

13. It is interesting because I have only posted there twice, but I have
sent several abuse alerts on a disruptor. Those who have replied to her have been banned and yet she remains....:shrug:

18. Ha! Not too hard to guess, huh?
I think we here at DU have been duped into participating in something not too above board.

Good that they banned me.. I would probably have gone back othervise.. being the masochist that I am.

Funniest thing about eli is that she claims she's a democrat

I have NEVER seen anything written by her except about Israel..

14. Screw 'Em
You can't teach an old "Freeper" new tricks.

Unless I possibly dress an old dog in nylons and a garter belt.

20. Yeah, americanforum.net
is already really pissing me off. Nasty slams against liberals don't get removed, but try to calmly defend the Dem party? Buh-bye. It's a wolf in Freep's clothing, I tells ya! I haven't even posted a word there, just lurking showed me quite enough to know it's a waste of time.

21. Why post on that stupid forum?
Gotta go to Yahoo Chat, where the real party is.

I'll take on these asshats in no holds barred debate. Really bury those fools.

Sorry, but Americaforum looks really stupid.

22. I'm starting to feel awfully outnumbered there.
I think I'm the only one left with a donkey avatar. I "lost" another point from some snitch. This blowhard from South Carolina never leaves an opportunity to lie about Dems (this time it was get-out-the-vote with bums, winos, and crack whores)...I called him/her on it, to prove the allegatiuon, and I was alerted. Of course no proof was ever posted...even fro their stand-bys of Newsmax, WorldnetDaily and NY Boast.

I'm a union man. We don't snitch on anybody.

That place is rigged, and is getting innfiltrated ith these social darwinist libertarians. Look at the Domestic Policy area...

http://www.americanforum.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=5

if it's not gay bashing (yeah, they brought back Jesse Dirkhising :eyes: ) then it's constant rants on "government waste".

I may lay off this place for awhile (I'm not banned yet), because it's gettinng tiresome responding to the same one note arguments.
