For throwing fire bombs aimed at this group from the men's group. See this link:

Good on the jury for hiding. The action to block is taken because we do not want nor need posters who have such little respect for our group posting here. His post in the men's group proves he was here to cause trouble and was not posting in good faith. And he and his friends wondered why he couldn't managed to get himself blocked from our group. Wonder no more, I guess...

We just do not need that kind of disruption in the group. And that is what it is plain and simple. To allow someone to continue posting passive aggressive posts looking for a block is not conducive to a welcoming atmosphere and personally makes me feel extremely uncomfortable.

He was/did all that, and he also thought raping children was no big deal. redqueen Aug 2012 #19

It is one extremely disturbing comment. redqueen Aug 2012 #21

What does Vidal's sexuality have to do with anything. redqueen Aug 2012 #26

It's not his sexuality that matters, but rather how society considered his sexuality for most of his hedgehog Aug 2012 #27
