    Are you coming out of the closet as a Leftist? How many of your threads look like this?:

    As many as I want.

    The JPP community have voted on this issue twice. Threadbans are settled law, it seems.

    Cry harder.

    The crier is the douchebag who bans disagreement. No worries. Enjoy yourself with your little threads.

    You think the leftists who demanded threadbans in the first place want that?

    What I suspect they wanted was a way to ban "cons" from their threads. They didn't think about the fact that "cons" would also be able to ban them. That's the only complaint they seem to have, isn't it?

    Really? I'm not the one posting screenshots all over the board whining about who someone else bans, am I?

    I don't ban disagreement. I ban habitual trolls.

    Why does the truth bother you so much??? You admit it's a screenshot, so why do you hate it being shown? It's true so why are you complaining? Is it because the reason you threadban so many people is that you are a typical bully who hates confrontation? That you strongly dislike disagreeing opinions?

    If you habitually banned trolls, you would always do it. As it is, you seem to only do it for the topics you hate to be confronted about just like Trump doesn't want to hear Intel briefings on Russia.

    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    I don't recall saying that I hate for it to be shown. I mentioned it because you keep posting it all over the forum as if I'm going to stop using threadbans because you don't like it when I do.

    I didn't say that. I said I ban habitual trolls. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, obviously. My threads, my choice.

    Is there a reason why you appear to be fixated on my frequent use of the threadban while ignoring the widespread use of the feature by others?

    True, and I welcome anyone who cares to post, to say what they have to say. Unlike the mass thread banners who are afraid of disagreement. Their choice. My choice to point out their cowardice just as I do with sock puppeteers.

    You like to brag about being a Christian then, in a single breath, call people Demmycunts. I like to identify and label cowards and liars.
    You have your hobby, I have mine.

    How else do people know you are a Christian? You certainly don't act like one. Thanks for the confirmation.
