Lonewacko banned from ThinkProgress, QAndO

To keep you up-to-date with my bannings:

1. I'm blocked from leaving comments at ThinkProgress. Here's the last comment I left there, which was removed (twice!):

Interesting factoid: Nativo "Larry" Lopez - one of the organizers of the recent illegal immigration boycott - was booted off the Santa Ana schoolboard because of his views on Spanish. He not only supports bilingual education, he reportedly wants to make Spanish the official language of California.

I'm able to work around the ban, of course. (Search for 'pretty rich')

I've linked to TP a couple times in the past when they actually had news items instead of their usual fare of childish gotcha posts.

2. The libertarians at QAndO.net banned me for some reason. This must have happened months ago because I only noticed it when they came back on my radar a few weeks ago and I tried to leave comments there. I'm able to work around it using a similar procedure. The prime suspect is their contributor Jon Henke.

3. I'm still banned by RedState. They never provided me with a non-ludicrous explanation of the reason why.

4. I was banned by DailyKos in 2003.

5. MoJo has a strange habit of not approving the few comments I've left there.

Places I have not yet been banned from include: Huffington Post, Washington Monthly, TalkLeft, FreeRepublic, TownHall, and DailyKos. (The last under a few super-secret identities. Don't tell any Kossacks about those however!)

8/1/06 UPDATE: Think Progress deletes another comment! Why are they afraid of facts?

Haha! I've been banned from Free Republic, OC BLOG, CalStuff and a few others I can't recall. Congratulations and welcome to the club!

As a retaliatory measure against the RINO consipiracy of "moderation" among California "conservatives", I took down the Bear Flag league blogroll from my site. It's always fun to do your own banning when necessary.

You know you are doing something right when your voice is attempted to be silenced. Keep up the good work!

How interesting that Sean Silverthorne thinks that banning people is bad since he bans ALL commenters from his own site. Guess he got tired of being ridiculed and made fun of.

I've only ever banned anybody in extreme circumstances. I've never banned you. What's more, in looking through our blacklist, I can't find any evidence that you're banned. Perhaps you chanced on an IP that had been banned due to spam use, or you happened to use a word that had been banned?

I don't know, but you don't seem to be banned.
