DAWOOFDADDY - I appreciate you understanding that.
If Wil and RF only used their personal viewpoints to decide who would be banned here, myself and plenty others (that Wil & RF dont share political views with) would have long ago been banned.
Rob really would not ban a veteran contributer without checking with me but I know he makes it a point to make his own personal points but still as a moderator try to be fair.
As head mod I can ban posters who I feel deserve it but try very hard to not make it personal. Sure I am liberal and would like nothing better than to clean the forum out of the right wing element that do not show the forum any respect, just as there is a left wing element that does the same. However I haven't done that despite urges to the contrary.
For the record Joe C. on thin ice but he is still posting when it would take a few keystrokes to send him packing.
He posts rants like this, which I find very insulting and disrespetctful.

<HR style="COLOR: #fdde82" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Anyone with totalitarian instincts shouldn't be entrusted to be a dogcatcher, let alone the most powerful position in the entire world. Read some of his Marxist statements Husseini Obambi has made and you will agree with me.
Husseini Obambi is a complete buffoon without his teleprompter, something we will all witness once he actually shows up for a debate.
Fact: Husseini Obambi is the most Marxist, naive and arrogant candidate since Jimmy the Dhimmy -- and we all know how that turned out, don't we? If you long for the days of Carter, you'll love Husseini Obambi!
I don't want "change", I love America how she is! But then I am a CONSERVATIVE which means I want CONSERVE what is precious. The only "change" I want is to roll back is the clock and purge society of overzealous bureaucrats and their Ivy League know it alls who don't know anything out of my hair forever!

Husseini Obambi is no better than the names Doc made up for John McCain. There are countles other posts similar or worse than this from Joe C.
FWIW -- I don't know how long I will tolerate it. With this election drawing closer I am going have to be less tolerante than I would like to be. Let's face it, things will probably get worse before they get better in this forum. Come early November hopefully both sides will show some class and win or lose with that class.
