Well, JT, obviously you were banned not because of what you posted but because of what you are. Robin knows you and doesn't want you around, and that's her prerogative -- one you no doubt respect as her right in spite of your rantings.
It's really a sad thing. I'm sorry to see it come to this. But you thought it would be a great idea to get rid of the bozo feature -- to change the rules -- because you didn't like what was getting posted here. It just didn't reflect your own political views. So you wanted the rules changed, and you applied suitable pressure to change them, promising to leave 4um if they didn't.
Well, they changed. I didn't think it was a good idea. Somehow Chrissy thought that 4um was being torn apart. It wasn't. But the attempt to fix it is what really tore it apart. So are you happy now, JT? Looks like there will be a lot less Obama advocacy here so I imagine you are.
Still it seems is was not possible to objectively discuss Obama here, and probably many other places, so maybe this outcome was unavoidable.
But you thought it would be a great idea to get rid of the bozo feature -- to change the rules -- because you didn't like what was getting posted here.
That's complete BS and you know it. The bozo was used by some here as a tool to demoralize, in the hopes of making that poster leave. christine and one poster in particular knows this is true. I saw it as no different than the goofy LF rating system which served to run off some very qualified new posters by making their comments all but invisible. As things stood, if a new poster came to 4um and didn't toe the D Party line, they would have been attacked by the usual suspects. That is no way to grow a forum, or welcome new ideas.
I love the clash of ideas, even your obscene cry for the abolishment of out 2nd. Please do offer that gem again sometime in the near future. It's always a laugh reading the wisdom of an ex pat.
If every socialist on the planet failed to wake up tomorrow, it would be a glorious day. I'm sure you agree. Of course that would mean PC (Peoples Collective) would be sans posters.
She says she specifically did not invite you. No PM. No email. No nothing.
And it makes sense given that you were instantly banned when you went over.
So I am sure you have a dodge to cover your deliberately misleading statement here, e.g., "When I said Robin invited me, what I really meant was ..... blah, blah, blah".
So let the tap dance begin. Morph your story for us.

This appears to be an open invitation to all to join.
It would be damned rude to extend such an open invitation to all (since the post is addressed to no one in particular) then to tell someone after they sign up that it didn't apply to her or him.
So, may I assume that because robin has gnashed her teeth and refused to answer some of my questions in the past that despite the invitation I should expect the same treatment?

You can probably assume anything you want.
Now, you see, you're getting surly with me because you dislike my pointed but civil questions.
It should come as no surprise that JT sensed that from you and not from me in the past, and that's why he and I can have spirited discussions without going for the throat.
Perhaps you should take responsibility for the replies you received instead of painting others as "bad people" because your feelings were hurt.

I'm not going for the throat. I'm going for the door. You truly can assume anything you want about robin. Everyone can. And everyone can assume what they want about JT. These assumptions can be based in fact, or they can be based on mere fantasies. Both are just as valid in the mind of the beholder.
JT and I cannot communicate. That's been demonstrated for the last month or two. There's no point our continuing to try.
And by "going for the door", I just mean I don't want to waste my time trying to talk to people who won't understand me.
Strange
when the same people engaging in this behavior claim the two-party system is
phony and it makes no difference.
Yes, it's hard for me to
believe that those who are so passionate about running down Obama are not
hoping for Cain to win. If they are the same, then why expel all the negative
energy? I've asked that several times. It will be one of the two.

Your comment above is from PC
(Peoples Collective). It's absurd for many reasons, but the biggest reason is
that I won't be voting in this selection, period. You know this - or should -
because I‘ve held this belief for years now.
Using your logic, since I
attacked Bush more than Kerry in ‘04, yet didn’t vote, would that have made me
a Kerry supporter?
And about this "negative energy" (your words) I launch
toward Obama, well that’s b/c he's the winner of this years ugly baby contest.
He's a socialist, gun grabber, with questionable ties to radical black
nationalists and white miscreants.
So lets have at it. Please
pick any topic, foreign or domestic, and I’ll make my case against Obama. I'll
be delighted to show you why Obama isn't worthy to shine our collective shoes.

Someone else is bound to pick up the offer. I am looking forward to hearing it.
