it seemed, suddenly, there were efforts to silence people who were simply trying to figure things out. It made no sense to me that on DK, eg, a so-called Liberal Forum, discussing the stolen 2000 election or as Bartcop called them, the Bush Crime Family, or 9/11 or any of those issues that made the Far Right so very nervous, suddenly became bannable offenses on the so-called major Liberal forum.
That's when I, and many others began to wake up. So if anything, rather than accomplishing whatever goal they had in mind, it only made people pay MORE attention.
