Boy, you noticed that as well?

Liberals sure seem to have free rein in most of the areas but the conservatives are tossed off. Wonder why????

Most likely because they change definitions to suite their needs, a guy who goes to a church isn't a racist, even though his church of 20 years preaches hate towards white people & America, but he isn't a racist,, but if you have a Confederate flag, but don't preach hate, you are a racist, even though the flag is a part of your heritage, WMDs, change too, just as 1st Amendment rights do, Liberals use a sliding scale, and Conservatives stick to their guns. Even torture is different in their eyes, even if it is the same thing they were hazed with to get into that frat house, but show a Terrorist Torture manual, they delete the thread.

Amazing how that happens. I respond to being told to STFU by saying I don't care what the guy thinks & the thread gets locked after nasty comments about me from Nostatic.

you guys are FOS. Let's look at the fact, shall we?

RedUFO - conservative? I guess is you guys want to claim him but he struck me as a liberal conspiracy theory type.
Alina - no idea...wasn't involved in that
Point Out Truth - no idea...wasn't involved in that

The ones I have been around for:

Mulholland - conservative
FastPat - libertarian
WI WideBody - liberal

Yup...totally skewed towards the conservatives.

Struck a nerve I guess... Why is it that you went after my post and not the post that brought this idea up?

Probably because you said that "liberals have free reign". That Bush-schit.

The key word is "extreme". As Nostatic stated above, it hasn't been liberals/conservatives that get banned, it has been people who have repeatedly been very caustic. Extremely caustic.

I think the mods have done a great job keeping Pelican civil, while allowing everybody the chance to spout off.

As far as I am concerned...getting kicked off of a website is an honor. That just means that you say what you mean. Unless...of course you are talking about Rennlist.

-Rennlist is the one place where you can be kicked off for calling a fundamentalist christian an "old idiot" when he questions your opinion that gay people should have the same rights as anyone else. I know all about it, because that is what happened to me over there. And it wasn't just the bipolar blow-hard moderator that is the problem with that place: It is the OWNER. Another fundamentalist christian, he has his bible firmly inserted in his rectum, and as such gets his daily sermon in suppository fashion.

Fortunately, the place has new management. I won't go back there until the two people in question have left their positions. I surf it all the time though....

As to Pelican, I will never be kicked off of here. I want to make a point to the two bozo's over at Rennlist via showing them that I can sit for years at a competing website and successfully exist. The longer I am here, the dumber they look.

AS to "Ban Island"...I don't know where that's at. There is a Rennlist ban island down in the Florida keys were I go camping on a regular basis; It is a great place with picknick tables, coconut palms, and the bonefish are literally jumping out of the water. All you need is a good kayak, a fishing rod, and a tent. The local marina even has a special section of their parking lot set up for Porsches. That section keeps getting larger and larger...

N!

Perhaps you are right, he is a clever fellow.

I disagree. Getting kicked off a website means a person is a tool and trouble-maker who is too dense to understand and comply with the rules or get along with others. Being a troll is not a badge of honor. Saying what you mean is not cool if what you really mean shows others that you are a misfit.
