I have listened to the voices of those who actually participate here. Markle is done.

Did someone suggest you did?

So, did you start a thread about the poll over at th6e knitting circle or did you just PM posters individually soliciting votes for Markle?

Inquiring minds want to know!

No asshole, I did not post a thread....yes, I told Riceme about the vote and asked her to come over here. She was still a member.

It was very apparent the only participants wanted were those in favor of Democrats. It's ok....the vote was taken care of by Boards.

Sorry the Democratic Underground did not appeal to you and boards....I understand it would be detrimental to over inflated egos.....just little tiny fish in a great big aquarium.

What about nostress?

Because that cocksucker came over and voted too.

Who else?

And, DU is great.

I've gotten over 200 responses to things I posted this morning alone.

Lots of fun.

Thanks for asking.

So you were the one who tampered w/ the vote? Did you also get No Stress also known a Gunz to come back too? How utterly dishonest and lacking in character of you? There were more than just Riceme coming back to vote. Why don't you just Riceme yourself off this forum?

Riceme...who solicited Rottie.....no post in 2 years and bam...here she comes to vote.

For the life of me I can't figure out how it could be said that differing views are not allowed. There is a huge difference between posting sincere points of view of all sorts and just posting sheer untruthful BS.

You can't conflate the two. Go ahead and disagree but stop with the demonstratively false statements.

Let's give it a try and see how it goes?

Bob has an uncanny ability of framing things incorrectly.

Enjoy your new landing place, Markle.  I'm sure they'll love you over there.

Actually, it is considerably different.  No one sought out RottiesRule to come here and vote.  I can only assume that she reads this forum and knew that a vote was taking place based upon that fact.  This is considerably different from what you - I'm assuming it was your work - did several nights ago.  You went out of your way to find people to come vote.  You found people who otherwise would not have voted because they don't read this forum and hence would not have known about the vote.  The entire point was to figure out the general opinion of those who actually use this site.

Boards is correct. I visit the forum when I can. I enjoy reading what everyone is discussing and often find useful info put out by the Forum members. No one solicited my vote. I assure you, you have quite a few people who visit but decline to post. Most of the time I don't think I have anything intelligent to say, so I keep it shut.
Joanie, you keep using me as an example, so I take it that when you said my vote should count that you were insincere. It's ok. Subtract my vote.
I truly don't give a rats either way.
Boards started the forum. Boards maintains the forum.
I realize alot of you have become vested in each other lives and well being.
Boards doesn't appear to share the same feelings and you get angry and call him out on it. He is what he is, as are you. You can't make him feel, say and do what you want.
If some of you feel this strongly, why don't you start your own Forum?
Either way, I harbor no ill feelings toward anyone. I just prefer one style over another.
[ok, I'm done oversharing   ]
Be well and stay safe everyone.

I owe you an apology.  I was wrong to question bds and I was wrong to frame something incorrectly.  I promise to never do that again.

Oh, knock it off, kiddo.   You're a very likeable guy with a good head on your shoulders but, as with us all, anyone here is allowed to opine anyone else is mistaken on any particular point, and that doesn't need to automatically elicit sarcasm, does it?

If that were true,  that ANYONE HERE is allowed to opine,  then there would be no dispute.  But I'm not sure how someone can opine when that person is banned.

It's almost cliche now to point this out,  but the concept of free speech and free expression is not needed for the opinions we like. The concept was invented to protect the opinions WE DON"T LIKE.
And no,  for me the concept of protecting anyone's and everyone's right to freely express themselves is not limited to an amendment to a constitution and not limited to prohibiting government from taking away the right to free expression.  I apply that concept universally,  and that includes an internet message board.  And banning any individual from expressing his opinions is just something that I will always object to.  I don't believe anyone should practice anything like that under any circumstances.  I never have and I never will.  And I'll continue to use argument,  sarcasm or whatever else to register my objection to it.  Always.

Those are all proof that republicans are evil and monstrous liars who deceive us every time they open their mouths.
I say ban the bastards and never let them post.

Let's put your extreme way of framing things aside for a second.  You're familiar with the Planned Parenthood video, the ACORN video, and the Shirley Sherrod video, correct?

Yes,  I'm familiar with all three.  And once again,  all three are the proof that there is no low the republicans won't stoop too.  That's because they're ignorant uneducated immoral unethical lowlifes.

Extreme framing aside, would you agree that all three of these videos are essentially fraudulent?  They purport to show things that did not actually happen.  It is only through clever editing and splicing that they create the illusion that crimes are being committed.  These videos have been investigated many times by many courts and all have found them to be fraudulent.  Do you agree with what I have just said?

Not sure if you saw this or not, Bob.
