Bye guys and gals/ it's been fun and frustrating

>The DU Lounge
This forum is for personal/social discussions, vanity posts, and all other non-political topics.<

Personal social discssion:

My toombstone is being engraved IMHO, as I attempt to post this.
I think DU has great potential.

That those who are obsessed with getting me toombstoned
are not constrained by the rules.


Yes it bothers me;
that's why I oppose Bushistas regardless of topic!


After the muzzle is applied:
contact me at:

Which has no aze to grind about US politics.

I'll be gratified to join that honor role of those who oppose the Bivings/RNC Web of Deceit.

Bye bye!

God has blessed America! with Liberal Democrats who support freedom of speech.

It's a big web.
See you elsewhere!

1. Mind explaining what

you are talking about.

2. I was wondering that myself.

I just checked, and there's no tombstone right now.

4. Comes like a thief in the night

There might be a feeling of being hounded or baited by certain posters who object to his point of view. Obviously that's the implication. I hope he is able to continue here because his messages are important in the search for truth.

7. thanks for the support &expecially for your independent thinking

You are essential to finding the truth about any issue.
sceptical where logic is lacking..
Supportive where the evidence supports the thesis.

thanks!

3. Take Care of Yourself, Shatoga

5. Paladin, U are especially appreciated

Because we argue constantly over details yet both love our system of government.
Thanks.

Keep that link.
Visit join and post /at least enough to argue against me.
I've always appreciated reasoned debate.

Amerikan/Bushylvania forums are increasingly shutting my truths out.

As freedom in Amerika becomes increasingly: freedom to support Bush or shut up.
I honestly believe all my posts will be deleted as they shut me up.
I cannot in good conscience agree with Bush!

[prolesunited]

6. Who is trying to shut you up?

Who is going to delete your posts? And you have to agree with Bush HERE?

:shrug:

[never cry wolf]

8. Yes, please elaborate.

We must have hung out in different forums or on different threads but I don't recall seeing your posts. I can't believe that they would be deleted for disagreeing with shrub, that is why many of us are here??

9. same as it ever was

No rule was violated!

[shatoga]

10. yes IMHO

whom has the power to do so deletes my posts repeatedly even though I have violated no posted rules.
And am responding to personal attacks in violation of posted rules.

Bias?

[noiretextatique]

11. i had some posts deleted

and i argued with the mods about it. i got over it eventually, and i am still here, and so are you. i understand how frustrating it can be when the rules are interpreted against you. glad you're still on board though :hi:

[shatoga]

12. ain't if frustrating when you've obeyed the rules & mod is wrong?

You are still here, but I expect this topic to be deleted as they clean up the mess
resulting from suppression of freedom of speech
(posted in compliance with the posted rules)
yet deleted in service to?
not Democrats nor the Democratic Party!
that's for sure!)

[never cry wolf]

13. I didn't see your post prior to deleting but

in response to your post the next one said this "Lets see, I'm delusional, possibly dense, and a stooge.'

It would appear as if things maybe got a little personal, that poster hit alert and the mods determined it was too personal. None of your other 23 or so posts on that thread were deleted so I do think maybe you had some freedom of speech.

14. I'm glad you are still here

Why don't you send a PM to an admin and ask for an explanation. If you know which mod deleted the message, you could ask them for an explanation.

Just because you have posts deleted does not mean you will be tombstoned. I hope you already know that. I hope you get an explanation that makes you feel better.

15. Hello Shatoga

So you know, the post you're referencing contained clear personal attacks in violation of the DU rules. That's why it was deleted.

Just wanted to clear that up. Since people have personal attacks deleted all the time without getting banned, obviously you're making a bit of a fuss about nothing here. But since you're obviously not going to let this rest I'm going to lock this thread and give you a chance to calm down before you say something you might regret later.

However, if you decide to continue to post threads about how we're going to ban you, I'll assume that that's what you want and oblige you. So the choice is yours.

Okay?

Thanks,
EG
