Sounds like you're talking about Conservative Underground, and that asshole known as Gator who was the supermod there.
This ain't that, but CU is still in business and now under adult management, with Gator in the near-forgotten past. Gator purt' near wrecked it and between database crashes and banning, drove most of the folks away. The old board software was unstable as Hell and his ham-fisted care and feeding of it didn't help, but now it's run by Sarasota Republican (SR for short), and is a much nicer place to be. A lot of folks here post on both boards now.
