I posted what I thought was a pretty benign post saying how admirable it was to see communities in Iowa come together after the tornadoes and then flooding
Almost immediately it was deemed racist when I truly was impressed with the sense of community, especially since my wife's family is from Clinton, Iowa (righton the Mississippi)
It grew from there and a poster had two back to back posts directed at me personally thatwere as mean as anything seen here
I received a notice from Lance E, who as moderator, said I would be "banned" for one week for my part and that the thread removed. Prior to that I had decided that this place was getting way too politically out of control and dominated by 7 or 8 folks that were just as out of bounds as the 7 or 8 extremists that call into Rush
A friend notified me that the chief co-conspirator that had just flat said some horribly terrific things was posting as usual. So, I guess I was the only one "banned"
It really is time for me to move on but just thought it might be interesting to think about
I notified a few friends that I would no longer be participating
