Hopefully not for long. He’s just called a moderator a “Fuckwad” in ATMB and immediately went to GD and dropped [this turd](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21437309&postcount=53) into a discussion on masculinity. Apparently trying to get the word out before his martyrdom that women, minorities, etc. are the suxxor and should stop getting in the way of men making the world a better place.

I think you’re confusing my favorite suspected Russian with the other guy. (Other guy now banned.)

I have such a hard time understanding that. Why would you even bother? Eight hundred posts in thirteen years, so obviously he can be elsewhere, but little drama queen just has to pull off the SbM. Seems like it would be much easier to log out and delete your bookmarks and cookies.

OK, help a clueless guy out. **Skywatcher** linked to the ATMB thread started (and starring) the now-banned poster. Who else was **Skywatcher** referring to, you know, so I can keep up with the cool people. 🙂

Your link goes to a post made by Ancient Erudite (sp?), not Anthony whatever, and runningcoach was referring to that.

It could very well be Ancient Erudite (sock), as well. That’s my guess.

No, no, no. The biggest waste of money was whatever it cost to put that clown in the White House. Yes, he’s there, so on one hand it could look like the payers got what they paid for; however, on the other hand, the clown is in the White House and he’s a total waste as president…even as a human.

Because real free speech is counterproductive to those who promote far left ideology.

Assuming you mean ‘free speech’ as in ‘free of consequences’.

I like freedom of speech. When people feel like they can say any damned thing they want, you know who they are. When they don’t, you never know them.

But that doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be consequences. Freedom of Association is even more basic than Freedom of Speech. We can’t be forced to be engaged with people we despise with one legal exception - public accommodation laws if you run a business. So you can’t say any damned thing you like and then, due to strange ideas about ‘freedom’, shut down everyone else’s rights to respond and/or have nothing to do with you.

To some people, “free speech” means: When I say mean things about you, that’s me “exercising my First Amendment rights” and “telling it like it is”, but when you say mean things about me, that’s you “trying to censor me” and “being impolite”.
