I do remember the gnashing that “this board is leftist, “this banning is a disturbing development” etc, when a doper that was on the right got banned. Here is proof that this board does indeed has prejudice: against jerks that is. And this leftist agrees with this banning.
I only hope that Reeder will learn the lessons of his bannings (IIRC this is the second and last banning), and then modify his behavior and continue the fight in an honorable way elsewhere.
Will this mean the board is more centrist? Has there been a ballance reached now that both reeder and december are gone?
Anyway, even though I found his style of writing OPs obnoxious, I’m sad to see him go. The SDMB needs spice, both from the left and the right and reeder was spice. This board wouldn’t be a tenth as interesting if we all agreed and were nice to each other.
As any good cook knows, too much “spice” and you spoil the dish. Reeder should have expanded his repetoire. He could be quite interesting when he wasn’t on another Bush is Evil and Here is the Latest Proof tear.
I think he was given plenty of warnings and the mods were more than patient.
