    LOL, so the thread was started by someone whining about being threadbanned, and Deshy cries "sour grapes"...

    I talk to people

    I never ban anyone

    Hell I have never even groaned or neg repped anyone in the entire internets except by accident( I had it removed by the mods).


    You are the one who tries to control who can speak and when

    The individual thread ban feature is exactly that, individual, so it is up to the originator who they ban and why. You are reading too much into it.

    Its just more of the pathology of the right wing in this country.


    If you notice its them doing the majority of the banning.


    when they first implemented it I banned ONE person from my one created thread of protest.

    That person was myself.
    threadbanning came about because many left wingers on here wanted a way to block ILA and others from their threads. We responded to the community, and after having a test period we even took a site wide vote and more than 60% of all users wanted to keep it. democracy.

    So liberals now want to cry about a feature they wanted and voted for?

    It's the same thing as having a door to my house. It keeps out people I don't want to associate with to begin with. Or a shotgun. That keeps people out too.

    I don't start that many threads, there seems enough for me to respond to. I've yet to ban anyone from the few I do start, if I didn't want responses that differ from mine, why would I bother?
    Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
    This is known as “bad luck.” - Robert Heinlein

    agreed. I always thought it was a silly idea to ban people froma particular thread.
