Skinner built this spaceship, and now he's not allowed to ride it?

[11 Bravo]

Sorry folks, but he's more than earned the right to express an opinion. The "I see how it is around here" posts are laughable on their face. No one who has been instrumental in creating and maintaining the most vibrant and diverse progressive message board currently in existence, should be expected to go hide in the closet until the primaries are over. Agree or disagree with his opinions, the dude has accrued more than enough cred to express them without having to waste his time in response to whining about "bias".

1. What are you referring to?

[blogslut]

2. Did I miss something?

Feh.

3. What are you talking about?

[GetTheRightVote]

4. when was this, of course he has the right to express himself as we all do

what happened ?

[Ian David]

5. Agreed. n/t

[Rick Myers]

6. Nobody messes with Skinner!!!

11 B is correct! He has as much right as anyone to express his opinion on DU. Hell, without Skinner and company, this place would not exist. Imagine the daily headaches HE must have during this prolonged primary...

To accuse him of bias is simply foolish.

7. When The Old Boss-Man says "jump"- Dr. Fate asks "how high?"

Dont know what you are talking about, but that is my say!

[Alexander]

8. I agree - but this is continuing an argument from another thread, isn't it?

[11 Bravo]

9. Don't know. Didn't see it.

[DesertFlower]

I agree with the OP in spades. to the poster (or poser) of the above link....... :P and go whine someplace else.....if you can find someplace else.

[Lil Missy]

13. Op says it was an attempt at humor. It wasn't funny, but was offensive. n/t

[dbmk]

14. I actually think the poster of the post in question wasn't trying to bash Skinner

But just making a badly executed joke on the fact that Skinner could sort of call the primary.

[OzarkDem]

17. Well, it hasn't worked

for Atrios, Huffington, Josh Marshall or Markos. Maybe Skinner is wise not to follow in their footsteps. :shrug:

[wellstone dem]

12. I'm alerting this post.

Not sure why, I just always wanted to alert a post that supported Skinner.

[Baclava]

15. I'm offended

In fact I'm alerting the mothership.

I got a good gig running the slavepens that will keep the herd in check.


Skinner is in the clique. He Knows.

[OzarkDem]

16. Well of course, its his forum fer crissakes

and so far in this primary he's one of the few Dem Forum/Blog Masters who hasn't made an a** of himself.

[Indenturedebtor]

18. Well thank you OzarkDem

I'm sure you all got the memo awhile back that I didn't want to overly bias things. that's why I created this Indenturedebtor screen name a couple years ago.

I really do try to run an honest spaceship though :silly:

[crankychatter]

19. I decided that if DU were a Democracy it would really SUCK

...only after much reflection

oh, and disappearing ink.
