It must be torture for you not to be able to flood FR with the Romney waste that you used to gag us with, but you do what you can.
I have said repeatedly on that subject, personally I am quite happy with the ban. Far from being torture, I am relieved.
First, I don’t really care about Romney this time around anyway, so I have little interest in trying to keep him viable, as I did last time. Second, to the degree I feel obligated to correct people when they get facts wrong, it is a lot of work, with little reward. Now I don’t have to feel obligated, or feel bad, because we aren’t allowed to do that anyway.
Third, if the question is about a specific fact that isn’t related directly to Romney, I’ve still been posting
corrections, and nobody has given me trouble about it.
And fourth, because I don’t really want Romney to win this time, and I have no interest in him, I like that the ban has tended to cut out most of the Romney talk. And I can skip the ones that are posted.
Anyway, if I actually wanted Romney, which I don’t, I’d love the ban, because it makes anti-Romney posts here meaningless. People come to a site like FR in part to see the debate, to see which ideas win and lose. When they see that certain ideas and opinions are banned, they know that means they don’t get good information about those ideas or opinions, just a one-sided biased picture.
Anyway, I apparently have my hands full trying to keep Michelle Bachmann viable here (it is so weird to type that — if you had asked me 6 months ago who I thought was most likely to get trashed on FR, Bachmann would have never even entered my mind).
