Well lads, I'm not sure that it merits a thread, but what the heck.

I went to LCF. I had a good look around. I started discussing issues. Mindful of the reports of banning on the slightest grounds, I was excrutiatingly polite and took great care not to break any of the rules. Jackchit actually went as far as to agree with me on one post, although it was nothing to do with 911.

But today, after just a couple of days, there was a mass culling of those of us who weren't part of "the movement". Not just me, but a few others too; langoose, dripp, and others.

No explanation, no warnings.

The admin responsible seems to be someone called IVXX, whose avataar is some bloke on a megaphone.

This isn't a great surprise, obviously, because time and time again they've shown a remarkably flexible approach to their concept of free speech. However it seems rather more ironic than usual as one of their newest threads is entitled I've Just Been Banned from the Msnbc Forum and includes this little gem:

What the hell can I do about tis? I guess I should be flattered that they thought I was so much of a threat that they had to BAN me!

IVXXs avatar is Alex Jones' appearance in the film A Scanner Darkly. Still congratulations on your ban, I have no idea why they banned you but if they can ban you for nothing I expect it won't be long before I'm gone too.
 
Yeah, I've been reading your posts and you have been very respectful and polite with all of your answers. That you should get banned and Roxdog, Lucus, and Terrorcell get to stay, despite them saying something insulting nearly every time they post, shows how incredibly lopsided their admin-ing is.

I wouldn't let it bother you too much. Their lack of objectivity will ultimately be their undoing.

By the way, where is this msnbc forum?

Edit: what's with "banned" and "admin" being highlighted like that?

It seems ironic that the mob complaining about censorship not only did the same thing, but unlike most forums didn't even bother to give any reason. Just KABOOM.

The funny things is that a few of the blokes were actually okay, and I was having quite a sensible PM discussion with one regarding general structural issues around tall buildings.

And I haven't highlighted banned and admin. You've got me paranoid now! :eek:
 
I got banned there too today, that was my second time. We were on some same threads. I was Ding. I think I got banned because of the responses I wrote on the "questions to debunkers" thread. I also commented on that MSNBC ban thread, they were so sure they were telling the truth because they were banned :cool:

Did you get any warning either? I was actually midway through a post when it happened! And they most have logged my ISP or something, because it just doesn't like let me even have a wee peek!

Actually I was quite enjoying the discussion with Strawman by PM. Seemed like a sterling chap. Misguided, but no malice or ill intent, just a desire to try and discuss matters.

As regards MSNBC (whoever they are), did you notice the outrage because they went so far as to delete the Truth chappies posts!! :boggled:

The tenets of the 'truth' movement....

  • Dissent will not be tolerated. We know how we would run the world.
  • Don't question our beliefs (even politely and patiently).
  • We don't want debate to find the truth, we want discussion and agreement.
  • Don't spoil our fun with inconvenient facts.
  • We're sad and lonely and the 911 'truth' is just a facade behind which we can talk about guns and who we fantasise about shagging.

I noticed their outrage :p I pointed to them my bannings on LCF, prisonplanet and 9/11 blogger. They didn't respond.

I had no warning whatsoever. Just gone.

You can have a peek by going to www.proxy.org and entering the address there. Otherwise you can't get there anymore.

Man what is on that site? The national proxy (of the UAE) shut down that site with a stern warning that it has un-Islamic content.

Have you removed the cookie?

EDIT. Beaten to it.
Have you got a dynamic ip or a static one?

e^n, I read your post over there, where someone asked whether you have any remaining questions at all, that you answered that you'd like to know why the other Pentagon videos haven't been released.

What I'd like to know is, why do you think there are other Pentagon videos?
