too bad we missed it kinda like the missing emails??
This site is better than oreilly pretending to give the last word, since most liberals on here have about as much chance as an american walking in the streets of bagdad. except the Ieds here are the resident repub trolls that will never be banned as long as they are loyal Bushies....if the liberal talks back they whine to Mathew and he lovingly bans them or suspends their privileges. I guess it comes from insecurities (does that sound like someone in the white house? ...kinda the way they banned any scientists that disagreed with the way the energy companies want us to know about science.

April 27, 2007 - 00:26 ET by Noel SheppardML,
I implied nothing. I asked a question...a valid one at that. After all, you chose to sidestep the queries in my first post to you, and continue to do so.
I'm trying to engage you as just an NB member here -- not a lib, or a con. You can either recognize this attempt, and respond accordingly, or dismiss it, and treat me as a troll. That is your choice.
As to me "letting you back," I had nothing to do with that. You are indeed here, and I daresay that's much better treatment than any of our conservative members would get at virtually all of the liberal websites on the dial.
Do you disagree with this assertion?
In the end, you have a choice: you can actually try to engage in friendly albeit lively debate here, if that is what you are looking for, or; you can be banned.
Do you think these options are unfair? Are they any different than the websites on the left that you might frequent? Are we wrong for wanting to create an environment where people can discuss politics without being abused by those who disagree with their views? If this was your website, would you do it any differently? ns

No. Has Huffpo banned any right wing bloggers?? or go say anything you want on hereinreality.com without impunity.
I thought that you had something to do with folks getting banned. Maybe sometime, you could explain the ground rules.
There are some on there that behave far worse than the right wing trolls on this site. This blog is becoming famous for it allowing very few liberals. If there was a neutral observer (maybe that would be hard to find) I believe they would agree that you rarely ban conservatives the way liberals on here have an average life expectancy of less than a week.

So you didn't read the Terms of Use when you signed up either (every) time you've created an account here?
"Posting your thoughts on someone else's web site is a privilege, not a right. Your privilege to do so on NewsBusters is contingent upon your ability to refrain from using any defamatory, libelous or abusive language on the NewsBusters blog, and your ability to keep your postings relevant to the current topic of discussion, to adhere to the copyright laws of the United States of America.

That is pretty much the "ground rules" in a nutshell.
As to your thoughts on the Huffington Poast and other Left-Wing sites, violent, threatening, and otherwise offensive remarks seem to be acceptable behavior, so I would think it would be pretty hard to be banned from a site that has such low standards for communication and common decency.
The people that break the Terms of Use are the only ones that have anything to do with getting themselves banned. Admin only pulls the plug when the offensive behavior is identified (usually after numerous complaints and several warnings).
Like Noel said, we want people here, we want differences of opinion, we want free, open, and civilized debate. If you can't handle it, you don't have to come here.

Thank you. I was getting at this. Sometimes, I think that it's far, far too easy for trolls to become members and then abuse that privilege. I think Montana lyons has gone way beyond that to the realm of "banned for life."

April 27, 2007 - 08:38 ET by Noel SheppardML.
First, your contentions about this site versus liberal ones are 100 percent false. Conservatives are by no means welcomed at liberal sites such as DK, DU, HP, and C&L. Your assertions to the contrary suggest that you either haven't spent time at such sites, or are not being honest.
As for the average life expectancy of a liberal here being a week, you've been a member for 60 weeks. Folks like hater and rhayes were members for many months, and received multiple warnings before they were banned for being abusive. Another liberal member, ding7777, has been a member for almost a year. WhichWing has been a member for 13 weeks. Belag has been a member for 9 weeks. Balboa has been a member for 64 weeks. Mobius Strip has been a member for 20 weeks. J. Frank Wilson has been a member for a year. Throatwobbler has been a member for 63 weeks.
Care to back up your claim about the average liberal life expectancy here being a week with actual examples of libs getting canned that quickly?
Finally, as for ground rules, they really should be obvious. The folks like MassLiberal ( who was also here for months before he was banned), hater, Tom Custer, rhayes, and Bill Adkins who got banned did so because of either vulgarity or abusiveness. Period.
As for these rules being different for conservatives than liberals, well, in the end, this is a conservative site, correct? So, shouldn't conservatives be given more rope so to speak?
Let me give you an example to make this clear. If this was a NY Yankees' board, we would be much more tolerant of Yankee members abusing the Red Sox players and members than Red Sox members abusing Yankee players and members. However, at the Red Sox board, the opposite would be the case. Make sense?
We can't allow liberals here whose MO seems to be to just bash conservatives. That's not fair to the 90 plus percent of our members that are conservative. As such, the onus is upon you to navigate these boards in a fashion that doesn't offend the overwhelming majority. You do this by not attacking members or writers. Unfortunately, for folks like hater, rhayes, and MassLiberal, they couldn't follow such logic.
Can you, or do you believe that we should sit by and watch you just attack folks here without adding to the discussion?
As for my role, I have never banned anyone. I have recommended that people be banned for behavior that I believe to be offensive, vulgur, or abusive. However, as you might witness from my discussion with Emjem, it takes a lot to cross that line with me, a fact that bothers many conservative members here.
As you may know, I have also been "accused" of being extraordinarily polite with our liberal guests, as well as exceedingly tactful in trying to engage them in discussion without the seemingly requisite crotch-grabbing and genital-waving. In fact, I have tried on several occasions to so engage you, but with little success.
In the end, ML, if you can't have a pleasant, vitriol-less discussion with someone such as myself that is going out of his way to make nice, it seems unlikely you'll be able to do so with those significantly less tolerant than me. ns

Do we really need someone like this detracting from the debate? He's got a track record of BDS overload....where's the perspective or rational outlook that we see from some of our resident libs like Balboa?. This guy's got Bal beat by a mile.
When does the troll "radar" go on? After the nth time the guy insults the site, compares us to Fox, bashes conservatives/republicans or those who don't buy his conspiracy garbage,or just generally blathers empty-headed nonsense until you're sick of it? This isn't the site for that...maybe Huff n' Puff, Daily K, or the Stern Fan Network where FatesWebb's his hero.
Who here has had enough of this guy...he's worn out his welcome.

First and foremost, how's that husband of yours doing? Is there any way that he could participate here, and give us all the real lowdown about what's going on over there? Please give him all of our best wishes, will you?
As for ML, I'm trying to "make" him a good citizen. We need liberal members here, EJ. It makes for more interesting discussion. I know you agree with that.
Furthermore, we don't want to be like those other sites you're pointing him towards that don't accept disparate views. If we believe we're better than them, we have to act like it. Make sense?
Warmest and sincerest regards to you and yours. ns
Noel You Have A Point
April 27, 2007 - 00:34 ET by emjem24Noel...
Regards to you as well. All is well with me and mine. My husband is actually stateside. I've had friends over yonder and all have come back safe. I will impart your best wishes to him for you.
There is definitely no way that my husband will ever participate here on NB. Most in the military don't want to get involved in the political debate over the war. A lot of them are sick of it or try to just go about their daily lives, both stateside and abroad (God willing). Believe me, if I thought for one moment he'd be interested, I'd direct him here.
As to the troll in question...I've had to suffer a lot of fake, double-talking, back-stabbing people (some of them in my own family) over both the military and even my choice of husband (long story perhaps some other time). I see them in the community that I live in on a daily basis, giving thanks to their security, jobs and subdivision lifestyle but not ever giving thought to who enabled it.
Anyhoo, while I encourage disparate views like Balboa, Sarcasmo, even (gulp!) Tumbler, I will not support the conspiracy-addled idiocy of Montana lyons. I don't actually believe I'm better than anybody else but I do believe people like Montana lyons thinks that he/she is.
Again, I'm not advocating that we be like Huff n' Puff or even Daily K, but I am advocating standards. A little word that is often forgotten about in the cyber world but I've embraced in real life (as have most other military families and their active duty members). By standards I mean:
1) Members debate about topics not impugn the reputation of others such as the President or fellow members they do not agree with (I've tried this with certain members only to be taken advantage of for disagreeing with them)
2) Members provide proof/evidence of any data/statistics they dredge up in the name of integrity/honesty
3)Members don't use NB as a prop to attack Republicans/Conservatives, other Democrats, and Independents/Libertarians that don't agree with them.
4)There should be a good conduct policy for all members (not just Conservatives) where this is a place to debate/analyze/discuss politics/issues. All should follow it...even Montana lyons.
Noel, I appreciate your kind words...but there will always be opportunistic trolls like Montana lyons who will see sites like NB as a platform to get their hate speech across. No matter how we try, word spreads that NB is the place to bash conservatives/republicans if you're a liberal with a chip on your shoulder or an axe to grind. If you want NB not to be like the "other" sites, we need some ground rules for everyone....if they can't honor it, they shouldn't be here. Is that so much to ask?

EJ
April 27, 2007 - 00:51 ET by Noel SheppardEJ,
No, not too much to ask. Nothing is too much to ask. However, we have an enviable but difficult goal here: we want liberal members.
I don't think many political websites truly strive for members of disparate view to the host so to speak. But we do. So, we've got to be tolerant of our liberal members, maybe even to a fault. How else do we get them and keep them?
As you know, this is a military friendly site. You know that. This is also a conservative site. We abhor unwarranted castigations of our president, and this administration. Trust me, it pains us as much as it does you.
However, we've got to set the bar at a level that folks on the left will be able to clear or we'll all be preaching to the choir. Wouldn't that be a dreadful bore?
I know we walk a fine line, Em, and that we're not always meeting your expectations. However, we're listening, and doing our best to accommodate all. ns
Noel I Get You
April 27, 2007 - 01:18 ET by emjem24Noel...
I get you. I understand the fine line all walk who have tirelessly contributed to NB. I get that.
While NB strives for all viewpoints, how hard do we need to bend over backwards to please a person like Montana lyons? How much is too much?
You see, Montana lyons will never change his mind about us. I hate to be a skeptic of all things troll, but when I see him and others like him such as whichwing, they aren't willing to meet any of us half way. They conduct "search and destroy" missions where they come in, say something derogatory about the President or us and then run like a little girl. He/she will only respond to you, Noel, for very good reason.
Look, I grew up in a very LIBERAL, college town where there were people doing all kinds of nutty, fruity things in the name of "free speech" or to be provocative. I didn't feel accepted because liberals controlled my birthplace and antagonized its conservative members. Montana lyons is no different. I admire your effort to "socialize" him, but when you're somebody that only hangs out with the same type of people, with behavior that's ingrained and acceptable already, why bother to change?
I think, for the most part, people like Montana lyons are ignored. For good reason. When someone tries to engage him/her, he/she attacks and then runs. Most of the time I don't "feed" the trolls because they will ignore/not engage me in reasoned debate because of my a) being a military spouse b) being a conservative or c) thinking I'm stupid because I'm a) and b). That's the attitude of many far, far left people. They isolate themselves and they antagonize those they not only disagree with but virulently hate.
Yes, I think you're setting the bar too low and perhaps even discouraging conservatives from posting on here because trolls seem to steal the spotlight through their slash and burn attacks. Believe me, NB is not a bore...I enjoy all the people on here because not only are we conservatives, independents, libertarians, democrats, we come from all walks of life, race, experience, and gender. I've learned so much, even from Sarcasmo's utter obsession with all things Ron Paul.
Please, do encourage liberals to join. Don't be surprised though when the mask falls away and the real, ugly person comes out and reveals why the only reason he/she is on is for a bit of fun bashing/judging those they hate.

Too bad you were a former incarnation of a troll who was banned once already and back for more.
Too bad that you have little to offer but complaints of "missing emails," and foulmouthed, liberal rhetoric.
Too bad that like the useless pinata you are, you and you alone are convinced of your own belief systems and if no one agrees with you, you label them "Bushies," or "resident repub trolls."
Too bad you think you're too freakin' superior to listen to view points besides your own. What, exactly, do you provide on this site except useless liberal blathering?
This military spouse is all too well aware of how you and your ilk have turned your backs on the military and use it as your new favorite prop for more attacks. But then...you only come here for the attacks...or am I missing something?
No, no, continue attacking like the useless waste of cyber space you are. You will then be banned for good after you've abused your entre back onto this site. Have fun being a chew toy...you take delight in it.

April 29, 2007 - 10:54 ET by BlondeHey Shawn,
I told you I'd explain the deal about OBLIO...Harry Neilsen wrote an animated tale about a little boy, Oblio, who lived in a village where everyone had pointy heads. Oblio, however, didn't, and even though he wore a pointy hat, he was treated badly by everyone in the village. You see, poor Oblio had no point.
He was banished to the Pointless Forest, with his dog Arrow. Neilsen wrote a very cool song "Me & My Arrow". You can look it up on the internet. I'm sure there's a DVD available.
Anyway, I was trying to get you to make a point in your posts by calling you OBLIO. It seems to have worked, you're doing much better and actually engaging people here with thoughts and ideas, and citing references to back up your points.
Now it's time for me to sign off, must go work on my tan so I don't get toasted next week on the beach for the Air & Sea show (Thunderbirds are flying this year). Have a good one, and keep making points and arguing logically.

Isn't it ironic?....I really don't like Alanis Morrisette, but I do love her "ironic" song.
Just like the libs here squalling about their rights to free speech. Poor little liberals, they can dish it out, but they surely can't take it.
Oh yes! The "brothers"

Oh yes! The "brothers". I forgot about that idiot who shared his account with his brother(friend?) The one who insisted we didn't have a working National Missle Defense system.

He's just an old guy who's extremely set in his ways and is completely convinced that there isn't anything more for him to learn in life. . .

If You're Going To Attack At Least Do It Coherently
April 27, 2007 - 00:11 ET by emjem24Montana lyons...
You're a delightful new addition to our BDS-suffering, liberal troll selection of chew toys. Oh, oh, oh...you've even created a new language along with the alarmist, conspiratorial, Rosie-esque rhetoric you spew. Uhhh...cathasis... perhaps you mean catharsis. If you're going to attempt "reasoned" attack, please do learn the vocabulary and grammar of one who projects themselves to be better than anybody else. Oh, that's right, most liberals don't even know the basics of the Constitution and how to apply them, so why, oh why, would we even expect the proper usage of coherent thought in a liberal troll's deranged state of bliss?
Please, continue blathering...while your cohorts in government tilt both the country and the world into chaos, you might as well provide the floor show. I'll bring the martini.

April 29, 2007 - 13:38 ET byNoel, you stated:
"Folks like hater and rhayes were members for many months, and received multiple warnings before they were banned for being abusive."
Can you give you give me evidence of the warnings. I am curious what resident bloggers of this very one sided are on this insecure power trip of banning folks from this" communal circle"
I was banned for several months. I constantly asked what the ground rules were and then suddenly I wasn't allowed onto this site...
this site has a double standard,
You allow insults from the repub trolls that love to behave like male/female neanderthals without impunity
Many people on the internet say that this site has a reputation for only allowing liberals with the timidity of Colmes. I disagree with you about Huffpo banning trollish repubs. It is very easy to register on their site compared to the difficulty of enrolling on this site.
I am glad that you have been generally civil but of course you have a bias and favoritism to what you allow from repubs verses little tolerance for liberals speaking their minds. This site condones insults to Hillary or Bill but we dare not make jokes about Bush or his wife. It follows exactly the way Fox would continually attack Clinton yet everyday wanted to say something positive about Bush.
I hope, Noel, that you are sincere about allowing a few more token liberals with a little more veracity than Colmes.
I still have hope for conservatives. You believe that I hate them. I just hate what has happened to this country since fear and hatred made this country more polarized than it ever has been since the Civil War.
Believe it or not , I used to be conservative when caring about the environment was popular with your party..(pre Rush and his venomous hatred for "tree huggers")
Care to back up your claim about the average liberal life expectancy here being a week with actual examples of libs getting canned that quickly?
I dont have the records,Noel. You do. I know that many who care to debate with far less vitriol than Rush, Oreilly or Hannitty might last a few days or less than 24 hours. Why doesnt your staff find out about all the libs that were banned for less than a day or all the folks that you decided to not even allow a chance to write on here??
In my opinion this site like Fox is extremely hypocritical.
civilly yours,
Montana
