    Actually, between the Soma duals and Asyncritters, I think Baba might be the only other real person here.

    I’m not sure we can ban minors without parental consent.

    And for what it’s worth I’m not sure why we’re banning Soma. I’m familiar with bannings. This isn’t one of them. That was a red room post and really not a very controversial one. Abortion = homicide? You may not agree but that is the argument against abortion. That the unborn fetus is a person and should be protected under the law and that protection outweighs the mothers freedom of choice. That’s not even that crazy an argument. It’s pretty logical. It’s certainly not ban worthy.

    I do have to agree that the post cited was your normal abortion is murder argument. It is not something I agree with, but abortion is murder is pretty much the anti-choice motto. It seems just a bit sudden and would have some other reason.

    Not that I give much of a shit that Soma is gone.

    I've done that several times, but it keeps pulling me back. :(

    Reminds me of the guy who said it wasn't hard to quit smoking, he'd done it three times just in the last week...

    I quit smoking after every cigarette. I probably quit smoking about twenty times a day. I also start back up smoking about twenty times a day because I like it and it keeps people at a good social distance.

    Hang on... does what Zombie's saying mean that Rightforge is claiming Soma as one of their own?

    Along with Dayton and Gtardo, of course

    That these three were banned for their political orientation rather than long histories of shitting on the carpets?

    That's how far Trump has rotted away conservatism.

    Even Rightforge has gone from Storm Rucker to Soma.

    Every single corner of the internet feels the downgrade.

    I know you're just a Canadian version of a drunk drugged up constantly in between jobs hillbilly but no Soma wasn't banned over his political orientation.

    Neither was Gtardo or Dayton.

    And of the three Soma's banning was garbage.

    The post he was banned over was not worthy of being banned over. The people who run the board just don't like Soma and they took the opportunity to ban him and than lie to everyone about it. Instead of just coming out and saying we banned him because we don't like him they claimed they banned him because of that post. A month old post that they ignored until more than likely @Shirogayne cried like the little SJW she's turned into and sent a second complaint.

    You're absolutely right, but it doesn't mean I won't call them out on their bullshit.

    "I think this is a smart decision. For too long we have simply accepted that women have autonomy over their bodies even when their actions amount to homicide. Sorry, but the world isn't that simple. It's time to take a step back and let logic, not emotion, decide such things." - Soma

    So if @GhostEcho had said this instead of Soma would he have been banned instead of Soma?

    Seriously? They banned him for saying what sounds very much like something Spock would say?

    Jesus, conservative Trek fans are so fucking weird. :jayzus:

    Conservative Spock- Cum is a baby, Jim. Mexicans are lazy, Jim. You shouldn't let an Asian steer the ship, Jim. :spock:

    T.R.- Yeah!! That's totally what he would say!! :polarslam2: :discuss:

    Drunk?
    No dude, I'm a bartender/manager and part owner of a second place, not a drunk. Granted, I smoke more weed than the average 'forger, but hardly drugged up.
    And hillbilly? I live here, FFS. A part of Toronto that can legitimately call NYC too homogenized.

    To the point though, I never implied Soma's political orientation was the cause of his ban... you did in siding with Federal Fuckwit that "only righties" get the ban hammer.

    and for fuck's sake... that post is being identified as the straw that broke the camel's back... not the whole load of straw (which you seem to be fashioning your next boyfriend out of anyway).

    I mean, the biggest hill around here is taking Bathurst Street up to St Clair Ave.

    That doesn't count as a businessman.
    You have to be big wheel at the TV dinner factory like Lubak.
    Only then are you even a human being.
