I disagree, citing the "he must be silenced" attitude of Ibram and V -- far too censoriously leftist-totalitarian, guys. You don't want to wrap yourselves up in a red flag.

Uh...

He's being a troll. His political views are irrelivant to that fact. I don't call for you to be banned for the filth you believe; if you were a troll I would say you should be banned, even if you agreed with every single word I said.

I think his viewpoint is valid if factually inaccurate, in that he has a right to his viewpoint. Unfortunately, his approach is annoying. I vehemently disagree with UG, but at least UG is sufficiently literate and has a low ratio of noise to content. RC appears to be UGs much stupider clone.

Personally, I don't think he deserves to be banned. Of course, I also didn't think Mari deserved to be banned and I will state that RCs body of work seems similar to hers in terms of attitude and reason (or lack thereof).

In 10 years on various incarnations of the Cellar, only one person ever made it on a permanent basis to my ignore list and I'm pretty sure that it was really a bot. RC really has my mouse twitching on the button.

Bingo, on the money, Rich.

My objection is the proliferating white space and quoting a whole long post just to say, I agree/disagree. It makes it tedious to follow a thread and discourages debate.

Right on Rich. He is actually more of a problem for hard-righters who have to work doubly hard to show that conservatism isn't just for nutters.

Capitol Hill Blue is the liberal equivalent of Ronald's sources.

I admit I rather like Ronald... and no, he's no copy of me. Quite the independent entity, particularly in that he doesn't hew to the left-of-center groupthink that commits such absurdities.

When I came back from Vietnam I use to hang around radicals in Ann Arbor (I was in for the "Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll") I experienced Group Think closely...it`s a disease of liberals and socialist.

UG, while I may deeply disagree with you I still harbor respect for you since you're a member of The Cellar. What I mean is that you're not here solely to push an agenda. Mr. Cherrycoke on the other hand seems to be here to push an issue. What would your reaction be if I was only here to copy and paste articles from liberal sites?

So, as long as you agree with them it's A-OK?

Which is **precisely why I refuse to listen to RC--I care about what I take in and I find his garbage wholly indigestible.

You, on the other hand, I keep around for other reasons.

I think your bullshit detector needs recalibration.

Ha. RG is just UG with the spell checking disabled and auto-thesaurus-afterburner flamed out. We've seen them before.

I like direct flights. She did what I do, "you won't give me one, ok, I'll go to another carrier". End of story.

I don't think RC is anything like UG at all. I wish RC would sod off mostly and I rarely bother even responding to him. UG on the other hand can be quite entertaining, even if he doesn't believ you could be giggling at his posts instead of absorbing it all and letting it wash the liberal thoughts right out of your mind.

And right out of your hair. To cause an algal bloom in the South Pacific.
