Banned from rabble.ca in

[Mr.Canada]

Without commending Rabble, which I haven't visited in years, the obvious problem with Mr.C and the rest that the folks simply cannot honestly grasp that everything (and everybody) everywhere do not have to be identically the same. You don't like their rules - you don't go there. Their forum - their rules. And you clicked the button accepting the rules. Appears simple enough. But apparently, not for everybody. What else? Who's to blame? At least you haven't signed that time share contract (or have you)?

I'm not for an instant suggesting that one place to be like another. They didn't ban me until I said I was a conservative. After that, instant ban. Seems a little intolerant to me.

I don't care that I got banned, the board is a joke. I made this thread to ensure no one else goes over there too join it, and if they do that they won't get any reasonable discussion as different ideas aren't tolerated. Read the threads. No one disagrees with anyone else, they all just nod their collective heads at each others speech. And they call conservatives fascists, lol, I beg to differ.

I feel very sorry for you if look at that board as being a place where the free flow of ideas are encouraged. They aren't. I broke none of their rules. I wasn't cursing, using racist epithets or even being rude. I merely disagreed. They look to each other and wonder why the NDP aren't taken seriously. Could it be that they are far more intolerant than any conservative could ever be.

This is what you agreed to.

babble is NOT intended as a place where the basic and essential values of human rights, feminism, anti-racism, and labour rights are to be debated or refought. Members that join babble who indicate intentions to challenge these rights and principles may be seen as disruptive to the nature of the forum.

Did you and kengs abide by the forum rules that you agreed to?

I think the answer is evident.

It's a progressive board. I assure you, left wingers get the same treatment from a number of prominent conservative boards.

I don't care that I got banned, the board is a joke. I made this thread to ensure no one else goes over there too join it, and if they do that they won't get any reasonable discussion as different ideas aren't tolerated.

Except different ideas are tolerated. Ideas that are antithetical to the express purpose of the board are not.

Read the threads. No one disagrees with anyone else, they all just nod their collective heads at each others speech.

Were that the case, I would expect the discussions there to be a lot shorter than they are.

Why would you assume that your right wing views would be tolerated on a left wing board? Why should they be?

I wasn't doing any of those things where in my posts am I fighting over " basic and essential values of human rights, feminism, anti-racism, and labour rights". I'm not.

Is PR a basic human right? Is an accord between the NDP,Liberals and Bloc a basic human right?

Those are the topics I posted under.

I merely disagreed. They look to each other and wonder why the NDP aren't taken seriously. Could it be that they are far more intolerant than any conservative could ever be.

By your own admission, you joined explicitly to antagonize the members of that board, in direct contravention of the terms of use you agreed upon. It's pretty cut and dried.

Not to mention cut and paste. Well two can play at that game: Why would you assume that your right wing views would be tolerated on a left wing board? Why should they be?

EDIT WHy do you two keep posting?

Because I can.

You both obviously post over there so why not return to your utopia.

I haven't posted there for over a year at the minimum. But maybe I'll start checking back now. As for my posting here, I've been on MLW for more than five years, so don't presume to offer unsolicited advice on my posting habits, you fucking noob.

'Intolerance of opposing views' would be if rabble was attempting to ban all forms of 'non-progressive' discussions, and/or ban discussion within public forums.

However, there is nothing intolerant about forming a private forum with like-minded members.

You have been reported for breaking the rules here by using vulgar language.

You can't read the rules at Rabble and you can't seem to be able to retain them from MLW after 5+ years of posting.

You really gotta work on that.

In grade school, I recall this excitable pipsqueak of a kid who used to taunt the other kids relentlessly. Then, when he justifiably received a black eye for his trouble, he went crying to the principal.

What??? So much for "progressive", I thought tolerance for other ideas was a big thing for lefties. Oh well I guess they at Rabble believe in double standards.

What the hell is the point of a political forum if you can't have exchanges with people you don't agree with. Everyone learns something out of it and leads to consensus building.

Hehe I weigh 220lbs so I doubt you're quite the man for the job. Plus I don't fight anymore I am an adult, I was in pricipals office almost daily until about grade 11. I pretty much got in fights everyday and am still known where I grew up. It's embarrassing but true. I haven't been in a street fight in over 15 years and I'm still feared.

I have thought about it quite a lot and read much on the subject of communism/socialism and decided it wasn't for me and destroys people and takes away human rights not grants them. Before you argue that point consider the willingness of people to choose death over living in Cuba.

Why is it lefties always like to change the subject when they're wrong...lol. I play along because I know I've won the argument. Thanks for bowing down to my supreme intellect and endless wit.

That's a lie. According to the links you provided, you weren't banned when you said were a conservative. You were banned when you said were a conservative who was only there to "argue with the left wing". In other words: "to provoke conflict, bait or taunt" in express violation of forum rules. Then you were banned. I can't believe you're still at this.

For no reason other than at your own frustration that you've been proven wrong by a Tory supporter. I'm sure it won't be the last time.

I've already won the argument BlackDog so move along please.

EDIT - You must admit almost every topic I start gets a lot of attention. I know which buttons to press, which i s to say I know how to formulate my words...after all I work for a large union.

In addition to describing "small", the term pipsqueak can also be used as a synonym for "insignificant".

so I doubt you're quite the man for the job.

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory or irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]

Pretty much describes your above post. You're just trying to bait me into an emotional response but you've failed.

The main point of the story is that Rabble, which is a socialist/left wing site and they silence anyone who disagrees with them. This is how socialists would run the country, stacking the deck in their favor. Not an environment for intelligent, balanced discussion only for sheep who enjoy playing follow the leader.

The thread was about squeegie kids deserving a Union.

The first time around I posted on a thread about a bus driver who used force to restrain a bunch of kids who were tearing a school bus apart. I suggested that the kids came from single-mother households and that the kids had no right to destroy property. Apparently that was "anti-feminist".

[Wild Bill]

This is what you agreed to.

babble is NOT intended as a place where the basic and essential values of human rights, feminism, anti-racism, and labour rights are to be debated or refought. Members that join babble who indicate intentions to challenge these rights and principles may be seen as disruptive to the nature of the forum.

Did you and kengs abide by the forum rules that you agreed to?

I think the answer is evident.

The quote speaks of only 4 "essential values". Anyone reading the posts will quickly see that you can respect those 4 listed values but provoke vitriol over disagreement on a myriad others.

Again I say, be grateful those kind of people have such a site. They would quickly destroy any use of a board such as this one, not for their ideas but rather for their pitiful lack of good manners! "Rabble" is an excellent and descriptive name for such people.

Interesting term "anti-racism". When I was there, there was a guy who claimed to be black making heinously biggoted remarks, accusing all whites of being racist and all that (stuff that you do, too). That seemed pretty racist to me, yet he didn't get warned or banned.

The whole point about a forum is to discuss issues, which means that people have differing opinions. The woman who started the forum clearly want to exact a degree of conformity that is unsettling to say the least. People with her mentality don't suddenly become tolerant and open minded should they ever get into positions of power. That's why the Soviet Union was the way that it was.
