Talk about your paranoia. The reason some people's posts get deleted is because someone was offended and brought their rule breaking post to the attention of the myLot administrators. I don't think it has to do with politics in any way because if you look at whose posts gets removed, they are both liberal and conservatives. It's not all one sided. If it were one sided, I would think you had a point. However, based on my experience on myLot, I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

There you are stanleyws...you're the poster I kept seeing and then not seeing last night. I don't know what your little beef is with the mylot admins but hows about you take it someplace else? We don't really want to watch you appear again and again on this board under different variations of your user name. At least I don't. Take it up with the admins or go someplace else and play nice. This is getting rather boring...if you know what I mean...it has nothing to do with anyone here as far as I can tell.

No, this is not paranoia. Geofty is right. I know more than one person who has been banished and/or exiled not for breaking any clearly articulated rule, but because of the subjective whining of certain prudes who wish certain people still stayed at home barefoot and pregnant, others stayed in the back of the bus where they belong, and still others kept their "oh so sinful" love for a member of their own gender to themselves.
Watch this: I AM A LIBERAL!!!!
I betcha this post of mine, nor my account, will last a day.

For the same reason that someone has the right to show you the door if you behave in an objectionable manner in their home or place of business. This is not a public place, the is a website with owners who are free to set rules for posting and are free to enforce those rules as they see fit. I don't know why that concept is so hard for someone who is even minimally computer savy to understand.

It's the "as they see fit" part. Makes me think of high school cliques. And the deep south of the early 20th century.

From our discussion last night I can see how you would see it that way. My perspective comes more from my experiences in the area of management in a post secondary educational environment, where we were sometimes unpopular with the faculty, staff and students for our policies and/or decisions. "Network Nazi" was the preferred term back then.

Heh heh. I might use that term too, in my more - ahem - "spirited" moments/mood, if it weren't so cliche'.
Just so you know, I wrote this response prior to our back and forth further down the thread.
My sentiments are the same - but maybe my tone would have been less "hands on the hips". ;)

Because this is an owned site. They can do whatever they want. You can still say what ever you want, just maybe not here.
