Babble moderator feels "icky"


The Left has a problem. This nasty freedom of speech thingy keeps popping up. Some of them, (see my post about el presidente below) have the power and resources at their fingertips to crush alternative viewpoints. Others, like Michelle over at Babble, don't have to shoulder that much responsibility. Not entire South American countries anyway. Just the odd right-wing troglodyte like yours truly. They say that we'll all garner our 15 minutes of fame, but my time as a Babbler was almost as fleeting. I remember it like it was only yesterday (sigh): from registration to banning took about 90 minutes. My crime? Using Jihadwatch.org as a source. If you haven't already guessed, I'm "Ripstop".
I'm used to tossing people from babble but it sucks. I hate doing it because it makes me feel like there has to be a better way...
Oh there is a better way Ms. Moderator. It's called considering opinions that differ from your own. It's called debating the issues in a reasonable and logical manner. Free speech? Not at Babble.ca. Not now. Not ever. It's no wonder a certain moderator feels icky.
