WillyT has been banned.

This isn't a grave dancing post, just an informational one.

--------------------------

MIR Team (EarlG) banned WillyT

Mail Message
Reason:
Doubled down on his infamous suggestion that black Democrats have Stockholm Syndrome, by posting an article which included the same suggestion (along with comments calling black Democrats "battered wives". The title of his OP was "Thank God I'm Not The Only One" and he bolded the Stockholm Syndrome comments to make sure everyone knew exactly what he was talking about. The first time he did this it was repeatedly explained to him by many members of this community that his comments were at best highly insensitive and at worst blatantly racist. Rather than learning from that experience he chose to double down.

WillyT has been banned.

1. Thank you.

444. Not Allowed To Say?

452. Precisely. Well said.

623. Hundreds of posts protesting removal of this hostile

527. Thank you.

2. there'll be plenty of grave dancing from the usual suspects.

3. His post was despicable and racist. He earned it

6. the usual suspects wanted him gone long before that post was made.

20. He was banned because of his long history of such posts, not just for this one. n/t

58. Yep. He deserved it.

109. You are right. Unfortunately, he was asking the Admins to do what they did. If he was thinking

222. Well in my experience

233. You're right about that. I have seen that occur from both sides.

270. Yes. One of those

70. +1. But I have no doubt we will see ...

103. Ya think?

116. That is a safe bet

263. He had a target on his back. The most outspoken progressive on a site that doesn't

304. You're correct the site doesn't cotton to progressives with racist worldviews.

317. He isn't a racist. Racism was used as a tool to silence someone you don't agree with. nm

320. He posted a racist op!

328. Multiple times!

398. Then doubled down.

445. According To Well Known Haters?

454. You didn't read the postS, but you feel it's appropriate to accuse people on the basis

463. Oh so you just want to complain about the Hillary camp instead of addressing the issue.

470. Then maybe you should read the posts...

481. WOW ... Are you serious? ...

516. Duh...Its Removed

518. I don't feel the least bit silly, defending something that you haven't read? ...

520. Not Picking A Fight

521. No. You're defending some shit, be it the person, or the post ...

522. Wrong

538. You're Saying The Person Is Shit?

539. Yes ... Anyone claiming to be a progressive and posts thread after thread of racist shit is shit.

540. I Care About Results...Not Personalities

545. I care about both ...

549. OK

561. I said ...

442. No, he did not! Same old shit with you folks. Always looking to point fingers.

462. The owners of this site disagree with you.

517. The Owners Of Many Things Disagree With Many People

484. LOL ...

320. Do non-racists post racist stuff, repeatedly, even after being told ...

386. Can you explain to me why the claim about the Stockholm Syndrome is racist?

485. Yes. I can. ...

489. I've never heard plantation mentality used

497. I'm sorry ...

498. Most of my time and effort has been devoted to Japan.

502. Now, why do I get the sense that you are more interested in argumentation ...

507. I asked because I'm interested in learning something I don't know.

405. Progressivism doesn't have to tolerate racism. In fact, when it does, it stops being progressivism

415. He isn't a racist. That is a tool used to pillory him. Who's next on the list?

418. FOH...

486. Thanks ... That response probably prevented me from joining ...

430. I tend to judge people by the words that emanate from them.

487. LOL ...

471. Purge all the spew racist filth...nt

457. Wow 52000 plus times

488. People the post racist and heterosexist stuffare not progressives ...

541. Really now .......... is asking or wondering why battered women stay with

546. Thank you ... I will research it ...

548. Don't tell me what to focus on. Study up on the horrible (I know) syndrome

554. Do you see how ...

558. Do you see how desperately you're trying to back up your 'racism!' claim when confronted on

565. No. I don't. I think willyT's racist (and heterosexist) screeda, apeaks for themselves...

568. No, you want them to speak as to how you want them interpreted.

555. smdh...

559. Not too hard or fast, though eh. Wouldn't want you getting hurt. nt.

560. You are right..might get whiplash from all your stupid.

562. You might want to check out a mirror.

563. I always smile, thanks...Appreciate the advice from someone living with stupid for so long.

566. You engaged me. ??

567. Aww...I didn't mean to confuse you...let me type slower so you can understand....

569. You're quite tired and confused, obviously.

572. If that makes Willie's departure easier for you, fine....bu-bye!!

573. So many pictures .... so many meaningless words!

574. See..it's not that hard to agree on something! Night night!

575. There we go ................ and my best wishes your thinking is a bit clearer in the morning.
