23. It's not my website. I try to follow the guidelines here.

It's not difficult at all to do. When the admins decide to ban someone, I assume they have a reason to do so. If I did something that was outrageous, particularly a vile insult directed at someone who is very likely to be the Democratic nominee for President, it would not surprise me at all to lose my posting privileges here permanently.

I don't do such things. I like DU, and I appreciate the chance to post here. Besides, it's not in my nature to call people names, especially vile sexist ones.

You miss that poster. I can understand that. As someone who was a target of his not-so-gentle ministrations, I don't miss him a lot. I am not an admin of this site. I have zero input into who stays and goes here.

My statement was that that poster could still be here. That is an absolutely true statement.

Having a post hidden by a jury is not being banned from the site. MineralMan Jun 2015 #24

Well, easier than you think. You could have been banned for your freeper past and statements aikoaiko Jun 2015 #25

The admins have made a general rule of not PPRing folks for things said on other websites. So, no... stevenleser Jun 2015 #26
