66. I'm not assuming anything. I'm taking the admins at their word.

The ban message was not selected from a limited list of options. The admins have complete freedom to describe exactly why they canned him. The explanation they chose to give us is that he was canned for calling Clinton the "C" word.

As for what I know about his activities, or whether I know more than the administrators, reading comprehension is your friend. All I said about his activities is that he participated in one of the threads I linked to - and that I did not necessarily agree with the poster that he had no history of this kind of behavior. I said nothing about what the admins know, or whether my knowledge was greater or less than theirs.

No, but when the response to bigoted hate speech is mostly "it's bad; take care of it yourselves" Ms. Toad Jun 2015 #37

Right -- and that's precisely the DEFECT of vagueness in rules. Jim Lane Jun 2015 #20

Well, since I'm in favor of people controlling their MineralMan Jun 2015 #21

NYC_SKP had zero jury hides in 90 days Algernon Moncrieff Jun 2015 #59

Who cares how many jury hides he had� how many alerts came in on his posts that didn't get hidden? KittyWampus Jun 2015 #65

I care - and you should too inasmuch as juries are supposed to be the enforcers of DU rules Algernon Moncrieff Jun 2015 #67

WTF? You realize that the Adminstrators DO see more than you and I on this site? That they own it? KittyWampus Jun 2015 #69

You like and admire the admins. I get that. Algernon Moncrieff Jun 2015 #70

That's pretty damn clear already Hekate Jun 2015 #18

if the DU Administrators just don't like you treestar Jun 2015 #25

Two words. 99Forever Jun 2015 #27

The rules are fine, as long as they are applied consistently and fairly tularetom Jun 2015 #29

Obviously the site administrators are free to support any candidate they like, as are we all tularetom Jun 2015 #55

Yeah. Site owner fail. Comrade Grumpy Jun 2015 #52

Why? Are you in charge of re-writing them? LWolf Jun 2015 #31

No- I'm not in charge of rewriting them. I'm asking your opinion of them. Algernon Moncrieff Jun 2015 #41

I don't disagree with that. nt LWolf Jun 2015 #48

In short... rbnyc Jun 2015 #38

That's fair. Algernon Moncrieff Jun 2015 #42
