No.  I'm not a fan of banning anyone.

This, though I'd make an exception for those who threaten violence.

No, but it looks like the ban club has saddled up for Bushie now. Boy, would the internal debate on this one be interesting. Wink

I wonder what David Leip makes of the fact that one of the most popular activities on his site, ostensibly about elections and politics, is discussing the misadventures of a chronically underemployed man from Oklahoma.

Bushie should be punished by God for not honoring his mother and his father.

He probably wants to ban Bushie.

There's no way - hurts his wallet for sure

The number of page views for Update isn't that remarkable.  (The Comedy Goldmine alone gets more views.)  I doubt Dave even knows what Update is.  He probably doesn't even remember who Bushie is (even though he used to be a moderator).

A temp ban at the very least is in order, for his own good.

banning him precisely because we feel he is coming straight up against a real wall is the worst course of action.  it suggests a sense of responsibility that goes way beyond what it should be for any forum member.

I wouldn't go quite so far as banning him but the Update needs to be gone for good.

Temporary ban to enforce the month-long hiatus he agreed to take, because he's not a trustworthy person at all.

You guys apparently don't understand why posters are banned, and why they are not, and the process that leads to one result or the other.

opebo was banned because Gully decided to play Sherlock Holmes and find stuff on a forum unrelated to this one.

What can Gully find out about you, Steve.  Or others?

Gully has been advocating for a Bushie ban for at least several months now:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=181343.0

Though, as you say, if he was really serious about it, he'd dig up some dirt on Bushie, that could be used to get him banned.  If only there was an enormous source of information about Bushie's personal life from which we could retrieve the required info….

Actually….wait a minute.

OK, new plan: Gully will have to read through every Update thread in forum history, in order to find the required information we need to justify a Bushie ban.  I realize it won't be pleasant, but it's for the greater good.
