SocraticGadfly: I’ve been banned from another blog!

June 25, 2008

I’ve been banned from another blog!

I’m not going to dignify it with a link, but, as with being banned from Kos nearly three years ago, it’s proof that “liberal” blogs normally translates into “Democratic” blogs.

In this case, unlike Kos, it’s not being banned as a community poster. It’s being banned as a regular member of a group blog run on Blogger software.

Shorter story. I was invited to be part of this group blog about, oh, a year ago? I wasn’t told at the time it was a “Democratic” blog, but that was brought out more and more as the blog moved on.

Well, I guess I complained too much in “public,” on the pages of the blog, even though the incident that eventually led to me actually getting banned did not directly involve me promoting the Green Party (or, if you have a socialist/social democratic party, vote for it, if you would) as an alternative to the Dems.

Rather, I simply said, that in light of Passive Pelosi™ and Just.Another.Politican.™ Obama on the FISA bill, that people who had read this group blog for some time back, or were members, should know this confirmed my vote in November. It was a shortened version of the Friday FISA posts from here.

I didn’t, directly, or indirectly, try to “solicit” votes. (That said, if any readers wanted to dialogue with me, that was OK.)

Two days later, that post was removed. I complained in the comments section, and now I’m banned.

If nothing else, I’ve lived up to my blogging handle again.

Oh, what the hell; several people have hit on this post, so I will at least name it, and be snarky at the same time.

It’s “Watching Those We Choose,” obviously no longer linked here.

I guess “watching” doesn’t mean considering the full range of actions to take based on that watching.
