People who disagree with you aren't trolls Reasonable_Argument Sep 2012 #1
You mean, say, people who post links to Glenn Beck's website on a Democratic forum? DanTex Sep 2012 #3
An impartial jury Reasonable_Argument Sep 2012 #6
Wait, I thought you guys always claimed that most DUers supported the 2nd amendment. DanTex Sep 2012 #9
You can review my posts Reasonable_Argument Sep 2012 #10
theblaze.com is Glenn Beck's site DanTex Sep 2012 #15
Well I'll plead ignorance to that then. Unless it's labeled I just assume they're news sites nt Reasonable_Argument Sep 2012 #18

although I disagree with banning Hoyt gejohnston Sep 2012 #7
Agreed that he was a troll. Did you know that he is a Canadian who said that he is a former robber? AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2012 #80
I read the former robber one gejohnston Sep 2012 #88
This belongs in Meta. leveymg Sep 2012 #2
krispos can lock it if he wants. DanTex Sep 2012 #8
This is a good home for this discussion. Meta is too noisy. rDigital Sep 2012 #66
I think it belongs here. It is group business and precedent for such posts have been set in Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #29
I'm sure he made some objectionable posts? gejohnston Sep 2012 #4
You've accused fellow DUers of bigotry plenty of times, but I don't see you being banned. DanTex Sep 2012 #5
when they make bigoted remarks and show their bigotry, yeah. gejohnston Sep 2012 #11
In your opinion they are bigoted. DanTex Sep 2012 #55
he was the 14 year old son of a racist gejohnston Sep 2012 #83
Juries are not impartial here. rrneck Sep 2012 #14
Umm... I thought you guys always argued that most DUers supported gun rights. DanTex Sep 2012 #19
If it's blatant trolling it does Reasonable_Argument Sep 2012 #22
Depends what you mean by "blatant trolling" DanTex Sep 2012 #24
Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? rrneck Sep 2012 #30
I asked him the same question a week ago, and got no response. friendly_iconoclast Sep 2012 #120
He prefers vague insinuations rrneck Sep 2012 #124
There's another example of the same anti-gun McCarthyism downthread: friendly_iconoclast Sep 2012 #135
You haven't started thinking yet. rrneck Sep 2012 #25
Careful, the group host might ban you for that content-free personal attack! DanTex Sep 2012 #27
You can dish it out but you can't take it. rrneck Sep 2012 #43
More insults! Earth to krispos! DanTex Sep 2012 #48

Perhaps this forum would benefit from having three hosts. ZombieHorde Sep 2012 #13

That, or krispos could go back to being the impartial host that he used to be... DanTex Sep 2012 #17
Tossing trolls is now "judicial activism"? PavePusher Sep 2012 #61
Checks and Balances, so to speak. nt rDigital Sep 2012 #69
There would be a pretty narrow field of candidates. rrneck Sep 2012 #20
I don't post here enough to know who those candidates would be, ZombieHorde Sep 2012 #49

+1. Although I think Hoyt should be unblocked, Krispos has done an otherwise fine and petronius Sep 2012 #112
I'm on the fence about blocking Hoyt. rrneck Sep 2012 #119
curious ... why do you think he should be Unblocked and What was the straw that broke the Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #143
I have no idea if there was a specific event that triggered the block - I don't recall petronius Sep 2012 #153
while I agree with you in theory, I do think that, for the most part, Krispos Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #155
For all we know, maybe Hoyt asked to be blocked - perhaps he wants to petronius Sep 2012 #159
you could be right. I know there was a time when I considered that very thing -- Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #162
Well, I suppose you could try - but we wouldn't let you get away so easily... petronius Sep 2012 #184
ah.. Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #190
I am not sure how that works. Nominations were held and krispos was selected. Now that he is the Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #96
I think he would have to approve new hosts. ZombieHorde Sep 2012 #99
indeed, we started out with that in mind - but, in the end, krispos was the only one selected Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #105
Well, there's that. If no one else wants the job, then just having one host ZombieHorde Sep 2012 #107
I agree with one change: One pro-NRA, one pro-sensible gun control, and one Admin. apocalypsehow Sep 2012 #108
I don't think your labels are fair. ZombieHorde Sep 2012 #123
And I think they are very fair, all things considered. Therein lies the rub. apocalypsehow Sep 2012 #187
Do you personally find label-based arguments to be very convincing? ZombieHorde Sep 2012 #208
I find them to be clarifying, and helpful for context of just what exactly it is we are talking apocalypsehow Sep 2012 #213

Good to see you down here playa. rrneck Sep 2012 #26
Another personal insult by rrneck. krispos, are you paying attention? DanTex Sep 2012 #28
Sorry, that is no insult. It is the truth and ellisonz is Proud of it. Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #33
Calling someone a "playa" is an insult. DanTex Sep 2012 #35
Bullshit rrneck Sep 2012 #38
oh please. alert on it, then. Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #39
Actually, I was hoping krispos would just step in with a ban like with Hoyt. DanTex Sep 2012 #42
Juries are a fickle bunch, on that we both agree. Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #47
Hoyt has served on 22 juries and remains eligible to serve on more. AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2012 #139
meh, I am OK with that. Let Hoyt now go forth and prove himself to be a good DUer and participate Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #140

More Orwellianism? PavePusher Sep 2012 #65
lol ellisonz Sep 2012 #102
There is no legitimate debate with someone Union Scribe Sep 2012 #106
Then use the ignore function. ellisonz Sep 2012 #117
since you are suggesting the Ignore Function may I ask if you use it? Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #148
Bull. It's pretty easy to not get banned. Union Scribe Sep 2012 #210
The reality is that krispos42 has changed positions on this topic. ellisonz Sep 2012 #233
because admin thought they were "zombies" gejohnston Sep 2012 #234
Take your own advice. Clames Sep 2012 #225

I am confident that the decision was based solely on Hoyt's consistently bad behavior slackmaster Sep 2012 #23
I have come to realize the DU " jury " is hardly impartial darkangel218 Sep 2012 #31
He's not banned from the site. rrneck Sep 2012 #32
In regards to Hoyt's banning: Decoy of Fenris Sep 2012 #37
Let me guess. You're a pro-gunner. DanTex Sep 2012 #41
After a manner, yes. Decoy of Fenris Sep 2012 #53
Sounds like it. DanTex Sep 2012 #57
You do realize that being in support of gun rights is not "right wing", correct? MercutioATC Sep 2012 #67
See, there is where you and I differ. Decoy of Fenris Sep 2012 #71
truly, you are being judicious in your commentary. If, in fact, Hoyt is NOT a troll Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #111
I can't answer that, friend. Decoy of Fenris Sep 2012 #142
good enough. understand completely your hesitancy in further commenting. Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #144
I for one have mixed feelings. discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2012 #160
must say, both versions are apt descriptions of what has occurred. Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #44
As evidenced by the first response to your utterly reasonable post (and thank for that)... PavePusher Sep 2012 #70
He may have owned a gun at one time. He was a Canadian who said he was a former robber. See #68. AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2012 #90
I thought Hoyt was actualy Hoyt Hilsman a contributer on HuffPo Trunk Monkey Sep 2012 #212
I believed that as well ProgressiveProfessor Sep 2012 #216
Interesting. AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2012 #219
I have served on the jury 11 times 2pooped2pop Sep 2012 #51
I can see you're deeply offended "you delicate flower, you" as you anti-gunnies say. aikoaiko Sep 2012 #56
There may be another difference as well. Hoyt is a Canadian who posted that he is a former robber. AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2012 #92
I object to Hoyt being banned from the group SecularMotion Sep 2012 #59
Actually, the "pro-gun" opinion is not all that unpopular on DU. MercutioATC Sep 2012 #62
however polls in GD have overwhelmingly supported 2A. This was in DU2. Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #75
I bothced the subject line. Was meant to say "unpopular" MercutioATC Sep 2012 #126
a-ha! understood. I think most DUers just can not be bothered with it and Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #132
Did you know that he is a Canadian who posted that he is a former robber? See #68. AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2012 #74
Canadian? I thought he was in Georgia? How did I get that idea? Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #77
Ooops, you beat me too it. PavePusher Sep 2012 #94
New Brunswick perhaps? gejohnston Sep 2012 #100
but, did he ever say Georgia as a point in fact in open forum? Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #101
I think I remember "Georgia" or "Atlanta".... PavePusher Sep 2012 #116
understood - totally Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #125

Wrong. Clames Sep 2012 #150
Well, Hoyt is the ONLY DU member I have ever felt the need to put on my ignore list. Callisto32 Sep 2012 #60
"Fuck You" was an entirely appropriate response to much of Hoyt's vile drivel. PavePusher Sep 2012 #87
It should be known that Hoyt is a Canadian who, among other things, posted that he AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2012 #68
He has not been PPR'd - only banned from this group however he may Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2012 #72
Do you have a link to the Canadian confession? And the non-citien admission? Common Sense Party Sep 2012 #81
Good questions. But Hoyt is not the only non-American bashing our Bill of Rights. AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2012 #98
Canadian? I thought he said several times that he was from Georgia? PavePusher Sep 2012 #91
At some point, he changed his profile to remove the information that he was a Canadian. AnotherMcIntosh Sep 2012 #104
Awww..there goes 50% of the entertainment value of this group. Common Sense Party Sep 2012 #78
I think you are mixing up the role of MIRT/Admin and the role of a Host petronius Sep 2012 #89
Looks like this is going to be almost as popular as the "The Witch is Dead" celebration. PavePusher Sep 2012 #93
Hoyt consistently insinuated that posters here Union Scribe Sep 2012 #95
