Dave - you're a perfect choice to be banned. Your posts are demented ranting sprinkled with insults against people who disagree with you.

The fact that you can post 1/2 the crap you do is the "poster child" for my point about the modding. Almost anyone else would get a vacation.

I think Michael spends a lot of time criticizing other people rather than having much else to say.

Be careful of that opinion Michael, it is not wanted here. Of course that just goes for any opinion that might be voiced by anyone who is not an angry Bush hater. We know the deal and the mods who are angry Bush haters should just accept that.

I propose we give them what they want: An angry Bush hating members only club.

Maybe I'll hang out in OT or over at PCA for a spell. You get what you deserve.

You know, I just have to chime in here.

I call myself a semi-conservative realist, and I disagree with many people on lots of topics. I do manage to keep it civil though. I haven't had one PM'ed argument, and not one warning from the mods.

I do see a Liberal bias, but since the board is overwhelmingly Liberal, that is to be expected.

The Liberals that are immature tend to either leave at the first sign of their favorite topic drying up, or whenever the opinions shifts. The radicals on both sides leave when the masses don't support their point of view. Evidence on these forums indicates is that most Liberals and Consevatives on this board with staying power, have one thing in common.

That thing is maturity. Liberal, Conservatice, Democrat or Republican, if you, or your thought process and logic are immature or inconsistent, you will likely encounter many members arguing with you, or note/notes from a moderator. If this describes you, then take that as a hint that you are a fringe element, and do not represent the majority of people concerning the topic.

As far as more conservatives, I think that it is fewer Liberals, as they do tend to jump ship as their candidates lose favor, a-la-Dean. The boards went boring for ahile after Dean bowed out.

Corn - They can ignore my opinion. I've been here a long time and have only had one thread locked and never a Mod comment, but if they decide to do something this time, so be it. I have been a consistent supporter of their actions forever (hey, I'm a conservative), but the job a few of them are doing in this forum is terrible.

Interesting. Critizing the Neocon rule is insulting???

Who have I attacked personally that I disagree with???

I agree, I must be "demented" for opposing the Neocon Bush Regime.
:roll:

Sudheer Anne - This is the second time I've asked - what is your education and what makes you so smug about your views and qualifications?

If you did even a tiny bit of research, you'll find that the age of the posters here has more to do with the poster bias than the "education" level of them.

I can see how this site can be liberal biased. There are lots of member posting from European countries which tend to be very liberal. Do European media have anything to do with this? Most likely and I was surprised someone thought I was a previous banned member with a new login. I guess debating the issues using logic is not welcomed here.

Well hell son, what are your qualifications? What should make us all get down on one knee and deem you Sir Michael, Lord and Master of the Right Wing Hypocrisy?

No doubt there are some thoughtful mods doing their best to be even handed. They aren't the ones who will ignore your opinion.

I also have the impression that there are some new people here who get ugly fast, as in attacking posters rather than their ideas, without reading the posts or getting to know the posters.

Did I say everyone posting is from Europe? You liberals should try to use logic before spouting off.

Well using your logic, I can state that most of the neocons come from the 666th plane of Hell and they're usually going to side with the Nazi, oppresive mentality on these boards. Both are equally stupid statements.

Typical neocon here....

F the poor.

Kill kill kill.

Invade invade invade.

Lie lie lie.

Cheat cheat cheat.

We love God too.

We're pro-Life.

No healthcare for poor kids.

The UN sucks.

We invaded under UN mandate.

Having an affair is impeachable.

Wrongly sending 1000 soldiers to their deaths is ok.

We're patriots!

We love our Free Speech Zones!

We hate the French!

O'Reilly, Hannity, Drudge and Rush are the new seasons.

We like big guns. We don't need them but damn we like big guns. I love going rabbit hunting with a bazooka. Don't infringe on my rights.

Flat tax!

Employees are nothing more than tools that you can throw away at will.

Embezzlement is ok as long as you contributed to a Republican candidate in the meantime.

Ok, that's enough for now. I feel better now.

This site is for computer geeks who are supposed to be smart and logical. And for me the liberal tend to base their decisions on emotions rather than logic. Therefore, I was surprised to see Anandtech to be liberal bias. I thought smart people who use logic can see through all the lies some media displays. And I guess I was wrong just like how Bush was wrong about WMD's, instead liberals call him a liar.

Bingo. Rip and friends probably just tell their neocon friends at neocon forums to come and troll here.

Just look for people with low post count that never post in the tech forums.

I would debate with you, however, I see you are a far far lefty who will not see my argument no matter how much facts and reason I give you.

Liberals seem to come from three camps: the incompetent who are looking for hand-outs, the erudite who think that they are intellectually superior and the minorities who believe the empty rhetoretic of those who need them to derive their power.

Thanks for confirming my statement.
