Lets admit it, NYC_SKP was wrong about the logistics nightmare on the island.

29. I was banned from that site in 2006.

I didn't join DU until 2008. I've been here for almost 7 years now. It's been over 9 years since I posted anything at that other website. I've apologized for posts that were offensive that I made there, and have posted nothing here that would have gotten me banned here. People found a few posts from FR that I made and repeated them out of context. That's fine. I wrote them. I even used the same screen name I use here all those years ago. I tried for a long time to explain them, but don't do that any more. I have apologized for them, though.

I've posted here for 7 years with over 10,000 posts each year. I've had maybe five posts hidden in all that time. I don't disguise my identity here, and people can visit the DFL precinct website I maintain here in Minnesota. They can visit a blog on web content, as well, just by clicking a link in my signature line. If they wish, they can even find out how to contact me at either of those links.

My posts are searchable, and anyone can look at them. I wrote them all. I'm not paid to write here or on any discussion forum. I am who I am. I am who I say I am. So, you bring up what I wrote over 9 years ago. Actually, about 11 years ago for the posts you mention. There's even a website where those posts are cataloged in a hidden forum.

It's all been said before. I'm here. I post here. I will stay here. I don't post on any other political forums. Just DU, and that's been true for a very long time. From time to time, someone or another will bring up that old stuff. Normally, I just ignore that. This time, I'm not ignoring it.

If I do something that warrants being banned here on DU, then I expect to be banned.
