Orlando Buffalo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I find it amazing anything can get you banned- I was called a racist in the football side of things for saying that I think 10 years from now JA will be better than Lamar. That poster to my knowledge did not even get warning, but I guess there must be a line somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think erroneous predictive ban hypothesis modeling is, in and of itself, ban worthy. On the other hand, scrubbing the aforementioned hypothethis to make it appear as if it never happened is, however, acceptable and preferable in the current sociopolitical climate, so I think banning you could create unforeseen liability issues. I am torn on how to proceed and wish not to hurt any feelings.

LeGOATski Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I like DR, but he was trending down lately, so I'm not surprised this happened. It was noticeable that the PPP was getting to him. Most of the posters in this forum just feed off the sensationalism and can't have a worthwhile discussion. DR is one of the good ones and I'll be happy if he comes back.

I for one, believe that censorship and measuring anything based on a "trend" is so trendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) I believe you get a little more leeway depending on your political affiliation on these boards but they are privately owned so those are the breaks.

I didn't notice DR got banned for calling out a disingenuous ass. I am furious about this. DR threads and posts were/are a wealth of information and so far many of the things he has reported have been proven true. Mods went too far on this.

KD in CA Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 12 hours ago, Koko78 said: As near as I can figure, DR apparently started some thread attacking Gary. The mods, who have apparently forgotten their declarations of not moderating PPP, moderated PPP and banned him for a month based on whatever happened in that thread. That or aliens. That and forgetting/ignoring the many threads started by a few recently active posters that were purely personal attacks. On the main board it's become evident over the years that the no-politics rule is interpreted differently depending on your politics, so it's hard to ignore the strong possibility of that mentality seeping over here. I guess the Rubicon has finally been crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 It is a shame that DR, who has done yeoman work here and deserves our own Pulitzer Prize, has been what I presume put on vacation for a month. If it was because of any interaction with Gary or Warren or Peaceout, etc. who is the original lowlife clown and bitchmudgeon then it is even more of a shame. I can remember a time when we were somewhat more moderated here and a poster from the past who has just recently returned, claimed that he was about to get banned. Although his politics were diametrically opposed to those of us who are considered on the right, most every one of us posted strong objections to him suffering a ban just because his opinions were asinine. We strongly objected to any gag being placed on free speech.@Gene Frenkledo you remember that and how do you feel about this matter today? I don't know what DR did but it seems way out of character for him to have done anything deserving a ban. I have noticed that a few newer posters here have ganged up with a few of the older posters and incessantly stalked and harassed DR. Somehow something just doesn't feel right. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
