The Time Outs, They Are A'Waitin'

A funny few days on the forum, due to some unexpected time outs given to regulars.

New Orleans Lady got 72 hours out for being just batshit insane (as usual), but the real shocker was good ol' boy GregMartin's CRUSHING AND BRUTAL 24 hour timeout for, well, being a fucking idiot and comparing Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden. (Their names are one letter apart, geddit?)

"One precedent creates another and they soon accumulate and constitute law"

Do not make fun of McCain's POW status.

Actually, I agree. It's petty and ignorant and partisan and puerile - and every other idiotic insult I might think to add.

However, I think that codifying such is setting a dangerous precedent that might live for another 5 years. Yikes. And besides, where the fuck were they when a little ol' veteran called J Kerry was being ridiculed for his military service by civilians?

Yes, I mean to say that the moderators at hannity.com are ridiculously biased. And stupid.

The Days of Our Lives

Regarding this earlier post, MenigLBC has asked to be reinstated at the forum. So far s/he is being completely ignored. Looks like they're going to make the poster get down and beg...

Stay tuned.

What Does One Do When Completely Pwned on the Hannity Forums?

Well, if you're Lee, you tell the "other person" to shut up. And then you lock the thread to prevent any further embarrassment.

"Neither she nor I OWE you a full explanation of it. Let it go and DO NOT bring the matter up again."

LOL. Hear that?

I Swear You Can't Make This Up....

So - as we all know, there exists a virtual minefield of offenses on the Hannity forum. One false step and you may find yourself out on the street before there's even a chance to figure out what's going on.

You can get banned for being "uncivil" as they love to say (it's got three syllables, so they think it sounds fancy). Like, you can be banned for calling someone stupid. Or calling someone a Nazi. Or saying Sean Hannity is a douchebag. It's not at all uncommon, and there's usually no further explanation - just a simple comment from the moderator saying something to the effect of, "_______ is banned for violating the TOS". If you're a liberal, that is.

If you're conservative, you can go right ahead and proudly state something like...oh, say, "I sometimes wish the Islamo-facists would ...cut the heads off of your friends and families right before they cut off yours...that look would be PRICELESS"

Just so we're clear, here:

"GFY" = BAN
"I wish they'd kill you, your friends, and your family" = NOT BAN

You couldn't trust these morons with the classroom milk money, let alone policing a political forum.
