Open letter to Moderators

So any of our left leaning banned folks due to come back anytime soon?

We seem to have an excellent slug of right leaning folks flooding OD with their email chains etc.

Yeah! How dare anyone with conservative ideas post on this forum? Oh, the HORROR! They shouldn't be allowed in public either. They shouldn't be allowed in our schools. They shouldn't be allowed in our court houses or capital buildings. What gall these people have!

I just got a PM from a member who felt that only the Progressive/ Liberal POV was tolerated.
Maybe the blend is about right.

I hate to doubt what you say MS because I've never seen you write anything before that didn't seem to be true, BUT you MUST be mistaken about that PM. Everyone KNOWS that it is only the conservatives that are intolerant!

Larry, this is a private enterprise, not the USA. No freedom of speech here.

Yes, this is a private enterprise. Any time that the powers that be want to ban me, good reason, bad reason, no reason..... they can do so.

When they decide to do so, they will be shooting the messenger because they don't like the message.

They are indeed free to do so whenever they choose. Cast your vote with them, and you might be the straw that breaks the camels back.

OR, there is another solution available to you:

o click on User CP
o click on Edit Ignore List
o type "Air&Road"
o click on the same when it comes up in the grey box
o click on Save Changes

You have the FREEDOM to do this

That would be a funny sentiment if it came from a knee-jerk, Tea Party compulsive filibusterer.

Since I disagree with about half of what the "Loony Left" and "Whacko Right" have to say, and find that to pretty much be true with the posts here, it's probably a decent balance.

Interesting physical phenomena . . . being balanced by the unbalanced.

I know that Jolly Roger has thrown up his hands in disgust over this place. I doubt that he'll ever be back.

Glad to know the rest of it.
