I'm curious if you can actually come up with a sane explanation of how the post I linked is "throwing sewage at the president." or how it's even disruptive to the bog.

DontTreadOnMe goes on an anti-left rant, and calls sympathy for the hungry and homeless.
Scootaloo calls him out on how much anti-left stuff he'd been posting on DU, and points out people can't eat or live in missiles.

At what point was there mention of Obama? At what point was there even sewage?

So. Your claim of what people get banned from the bog over is a lie, first off. Then your claim against me is another lie. Mmm. Is this a habit for you, Whisp?

Anyway. I'm not trying to change my status on the bog - having seen the sort of people run the show there i honestly think I'm better off with the group trashed. If I wanted to read stuff from anti-left shitheads who want to bomb middle eastern countries, I can go to any number of actual right-wing sites to deal with your like. But please, at least be honest with the rest of DU about what kind of standards you're running with, kay?
