    I don't think he banned, he just nervous.
    i checked. he has the "banned" banner on her profile. 
    I hate the banning.  Even for him.  
    I hate banning too, but how else do you deal with someone where the posts are 80% incendiary?  At some point enough is enough.  It's funny but your row was at the low end of the spectrum.  Hopefully it's just temporary.  I'm a huge fan of disagreements/argu,emts on these boards, but they should be rooted differently than they have been.  
    That's the problem with always creeping forward to find out where the line is - eventually you find it. I don't really understand that antagonistic behaviour (though like anyone I know I've done it here under the right conditions), and honestly, antagonism is rarely productive. If we're truly running out of time here, we should be trying to unite and understand each other rather than dividing and goading each other into saying something we'll regret saying.

    Yes the line was certainly discovered.  But if past was any indication of present, there were warnings.

    I wondered the same.
    I bet it's an edit from the mods or something. 

    The ban makes sense. He's gotten at least half-a-dozen threads locked with his routine. 
    He didn't do it by himself.
    When people post certain things they are trying to stir the pot and get a reaction.  Let s put blame where blame is due which is on him.

    Whenever someone from the Party of Trump rebukes, I temper my expectations about what that really might mean.  That stuff usually blows over.  I think they know what Trump is and want to put out a couple off "right side of history" tweets for posterity. That said, I think Lindsay's past the point of no return.
    It's really odd.  And given all that has happened I would think the GOP would be ready to convict him in the Senate and be done with him.  They must think that they are better off letting him lose in the general election but the way they put party over country is disgusting.

    I'm sure there were warnings.  I have received a few in the past and changed my behavior.  One time I got a warning for telling someone to drink bleach.

    If you haven't noticed...they do keep track of your warnings on your "Moderation" tab. :)

    Whatever they're thinking, the bottom line is "party over country" or perhaps "self over country."

     (my guess is "he's too popular with the GOP voters; I don't want to lose my seat").

    Look at all the resignations.  I'm thinking those people don't want to push back against the Party of Trump but they also know that history won't look kindly on today's Party of Trump.  So they're slinking out quietly.

    Totally agree, It really is sad. How can anyone say with a straight face sea this president should not be impeached?
    party before country should be instant termination.

    That just isn't how I see it. There is plenty of blame to spread around IMO. But whatever. Too bad about the ban. I enjoyed having S_C around. Nothing he said ever really bugged me.

    That is a great question. based upon my private messages...I'm not sure I'll be around here much longer, I doubt I have the personality for it, walking on pins and needles ain't my strong suit.  Letting others be condescending and just going and telling someone else to deal with it ain't my way either. 
    Just be better than that person. It is not worth it. 
    you are probably the best around here at it. I have been amazed at your cool temperament when mercilessly attacked personally. 
    Thanks for the kind words bud.

    They are also choosing party over the people, the constitution,  the rule of law, and common sense.

    And when you really get down to it, they aren't choosing party over any of those things either. They are simply choosing themselves over everything. There is a reason they "choose party". Because choosing it lines their own pockets at the end of the day, and provides them with the opportunity to simply have and maintain that sense of power they are all so horny for. They don't give a shit about anybody but their own selves. They'd throw Trump and any other Republican under the bus if it happened to serve them well.... So far, they just haven't found a scenario where throwing Trump to the wolves will help them gain more money or power.
