171. You have been a member here for over 10 years.....

Jun 2014

and still oppose the overwhelming science with respect to climate change. It is more than understandable that you were blocked from E/E. In that period of time, for you to still be anti-science, is pretty shocking.

Being blocked from one group here should not cause this type of internal conflict. There are many people here who hold views outside of what is considered to be progressive or matching with the Democratic Party platform. Most simply avoid those topics out of respect to the members of this board. This is not giving in. It is understanding the community you are participating in, acting like an adult, and respecting others. Take part in discussions you do not hold right wing/anti-science views in. It is done by members here all day. This look at me thing you have going on isn't adding anything to the board. You have invested a lot of time here. Find other sites like freerepublic to discuss your right wing/anti-science views and discuss your more progressive views here. Life becomes much better when you respect the community you are a part of.

Look forward to seeing your posts in the future.
