I’ve never talked off the record with Barman but 2 years ago when I first started posting here I emailed Wil and inquired about Doc Mercer and why the Rx condoned his rhetoric. I was told it was a matter of free speech.
Of course Bush was in office then. :toast:
Come now.
Mercer was given two separate opportunities to be a reasonable contributor to our (usually) friendly PoliticoPub.
And he demonstrated that he was far too batshit crazy and detached from reality for ANY of us - right, left or inbetween - to endorse his continued membership.
On a related note, I have - in the past three years of fairly active participation here - placed just four posters on "Ignore" as their presentations were relentlessly tedious.
All four presented strong and consistent "liberal" POV. But they did so in such an exhausting and clumsy style that even a liberal like myself could no longer burn the few minutes a day it took to skim past their onslaught of repititious blah blah
blah
blah
:drink:
