Original Post: I've been banned from DU also!
I made the cardinal sin of letting people know about the GBLT purge last night and then made a snarky comment when the mods "disappeared" any mention of those bannings.
Yardwork, Solon, Vanje and Runcible Spoon have also been banned.
All threads even mentioning the bannings have been purged.
So much for Skinner's big post last week about making things fair!

primitives need to be kept in line.
Some others were: TechBear_Seattle, PelosiFan, Maven, DBACKJON
Edit: OK, here's the story from a primitive.

I think Skinner's gone off his meds.
Marrah can probably put things together better than me. Here's my take (and some background info):
One of the moderators--the mad monk--put up a thread telling people that it was inevitable that people wouldn't like the Messiah's Supreme Court nominee, and that we were not to disagree. Then some of the progressive and GLBT posters pointed out that the thread was obvious flamebait and broke the mod rule that moderators were expected to hold themselves to a higher standard. Then Skinner came in and said that anyone that didn't like the majority sentiment (i.e. the Democratic Party dictation) that we were free to leave his site.
Four bannings--Solon, Yardwork, Vanje, and Runcible Spoon--came about in the first wave. All for pointing out that the OP was an open call out to DUers, which would be against the rules there. Marrah_G and Techbear got banned the next day for having the audacity to point out that four longtime GLBT posters had gotten sent packing. Sundog got banned, apparently, for wondering what was going on and why the GLBT forum was full of "message removed" the next day.
Any positive mention of the people banned, even in Lounge say-something-nice threads was also removed. The 7 are effectively scrubbed.
All so that the GLBT and ally and progressive community would know that we're neither wanted nor needed there.

Did get a new cartoon from there that's accurate.

Sounds like Skinner will be firing up the showers and bulldozers soon..

Skinner ADMIN
26. For the record, I deleted that sub-thread
You all know that moderators do not make policy. Furthermore, you don't even listen when I make DU policy. So let's stop pretending that this utterly non-offensive OP has taken away your free speech or whatever.
Now, for some reason, a small number of people are going to a substantial amount of effort trying to twist this OP into something it isn't, and I'm wondering why exactly they would go to the time and trouble to do that. But whatever the reason, it's made me decide to dust off this rule:
Your Freedom to Leave
All visitors to the Democratic Underground website are here voluntarily. Nobody is forcing you to post on this message board. The administrators try their best to be fair, and to make Democratic Underground a welcoming place for progressives who like Democratic Underground and who want to be here. If you do not like Democratic Underground, or the members of Democratic Underground, or the way we run Democratic Underground, then we strongly suggest that you exercise your right to leave. If we decide that you do not like this place very much, then we reserve the right to show you the door ourselves.
Now that is a shot across the bow, and one which some of you would be wise to pay attention to.

I'm guessing that DU is the least significant and influential website that takes its talking points directly from Rahm Emanuel. The Messiah and his minions play hardball, and liberals not named Obama or Emanuel are starting to realize exactly what it is they've signed up for.
Enjoy your "relevance," David Allen. Does Rahm let your put grape jelly on his ass before you toss his salad?

What a pathetic Obamaite you are, Skinner. Is he paying you more than you get from the sad sacks you extort money from every quarter? I can't believe actual adults pay money to stay in your favor, you fruit.
THIS is why we follow you, DUmmies.

Is this because of the gay SCOTUS thread? The androgynous gay man boy thread? I feel like I missed something. :lmao:

You go, Skins.
Show some balls, get them clacking.
Skins's island's been under the jackboot of the professional gays far too long.

What liberal constituency does the guy with the phase symbol on his t-shirt, the second from the right, represent?

Don't be too surprised if the same thing starts happening in Obama's USA.
Hitler gave great speeches too.

What do the GLBT DUmmies want 0bama to do? Run up to Boys Town on Halsted and pick the flaming-est one in the Gay Pride parade to be the new Supreme Court justice?

He needs to go deeper (no pun intended), but it's a start. The bulk of the Gay Posse remains.
-
What liberal constituency does the guy with the phase symbol on his t-shirt, the second from the right, represent?
From left to right: blacks, twinkies, unions, environazis, anti-military.

Eco-nuts. Tree-huggers. Whatever you want to call the green movement on any given day.

Yes.

The homos are so screwed there: they can't even call $kimmer homophobic, which he pretty clearly is being right now. When you take their trump card away from them, what are they supposed to do? I'm sort of loving this megalomania from David Allen...it mirrors what's happening in Washington, and his down fall will mirror the Messiah's, too.

I like it because my fellow alum Skins is finally showing some balls.

I know, it's sort of, "If a tree falls in the forest...." thing..... but if you slap a tinkerbelle with a granite slab, does it make a sound?

Seems dangerous with that crowd.
Ref: Obama/Zombietime thread in GD.
