You mean blocking, not banning. yardwork Nov 2012 #1
Oh I didn't know there was a difference. underthematrix Nov 2012 #3
Huge difference. yardwork Nov 2012 #18
I think this is an excellent idea. I would love for peeps to underthematrix Nov 2012 #2
The biggest lie is saying the holocaust would have been avoided if Jews became monsters graham4anything Nov 2012 #4
Trying to hijack the thread again? glacierbay Nov 2012 #6
I am not a group member as I never signed up. So it's not my place to yea or nay graham4anything Nov 2012 #9
You can still say yea or nay w/o being a group member glacierbay Nov 2012 #10
I don't believe in censorship, so that would be a bring the poster back vote graham4anything Nov 2012 #11
And that's your right to argue the message. nt. glacierbay Nov 2012 #12

So reply when someone says otherwise 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #13
You say, "The biggest lie is saying the holocaust would have been avoided if Jews became monsters" AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2012 #19
Huh? I am arguing the post not the person. And I would not censor anyone. graham4anything Nov 2012 #20
rDigital is the subject of the OP. Your post #4 is either related or unrelated to rDigital. AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2012 #29
"saying the holocaust would have been avoided if Jews became monsters" PavePusher Nov 2012 #23
Is this the thread to discuss rDigital's rehabilitation? JustABozoOnThisBus Nov 2012 #5
It's to create the process of reinstatement... krispos42 Nov 2012 #89
My vote and opinion is that there should be no formalized standards, rules, procedures, petronius Nov 2012 #7
so then, are you saying that all previously blocked DUers should be reinstated? Tuesday Afternoon Nov 2012 #43
Yes. I think we all have the tools to personalize our own DU experiences, and if petronius Nov 2012 #48
follow up question, if I may Tuesday Afternoon Nov 2012 #49
No, I think it makes more sense to discuss Group stuff within the particular Group petronius Nov 2012 #50
so, if One is unhappy with what goes on here One should be able to start a thread about it rather Tuesday Afternoon Nov 2012 #51
I think that would be preferable, yes... (nt) petronius Nov 2012 #56

If he was wrong then surely open debate is the answer 4th law of robotics Nov 2012 #14
Nope glacierbay Nov 2012 #15

Hogwash fightthegoodfightnow Nov 2012 #58
That post was clearly satire tularetom Nov 2012 #31
Given the timing and context of another post (identified at #30), I agree. AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2012 #32
has rdigital said anything to indicate that he no longer agrees with Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #27
He may still agree with it glacierbay Nov 2012 #28

Hoyt is not be recalled for exile. Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #80
Hoyt has made it very clear that he's not going to stop his nonsense glacierbay Nov 2012 #82
Hoyt said much worse things gejohnston Nov 2012 #83
In contrast to your claim, rDigital never indicated that he agreed with the rw nonsense. AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2012 #35
Even if what you say is true fightthegoodfightnow Nov 2012 #62
Um that is simply untrue. Warren Stupidity Nov 2012 #74
What you say is not only unresponsive but it is veritably untrue. Those who look can see this. AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2012 #75
rDigital made a broad brush attack of virulent anti-semitic racism... Agnosticsherbet Nov 2012 #36
No he did not. You cannot point to where he "made a broad brush attack of virulent anti-semitic AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2012 #38
