I note that Hillary supporters think Manny was rightfully barred.

But we Bernie supporters think he was wrongfully barred.

That suggests to me that our opinions about whether he was rightfully barred are based simply on whether we agree with his views on Hillary and Sanders.

Which forces me to draw the conclusion that there is a strong likelihood that the site owners' decision to bar him was based on their bias against Sanders and his supporters and their bias in favor of Hillary and her supporters.

I think my conclusion is probably correct. But I hope that Skinner and the admins respond to this thread and examine their reasons for barring Manny, reconsider them and let us know what they think and propose to do.

I don't think Manny is asking to come back to DU. It is many of us who like him who want him invited back. Whether he would deign to come back after having been treated so rudely I do not know.
