I’m also on T_D frequently, and I’m not really surprised by this. The 1st Amendment doesn’t apply on Reddit (on any sub) — if you doubt this, try to be pro-Trump on r/[redacted] (the left-leaning ‘politics’ subreddit whose name must never be mentioned on T_D, for fear of Reddit’s site mods accusing them of brigading).
Some interesting things I noticed:
- the article you linked is also from Chalet Books, the same website as the site that earned the ban from T_D.
- The article that earned the ban is simply a timeline... but it really doesn’t offer “proof”. The little bit of supposed proof from a handful of MSM articles is there is more “muh Russia” than anything with the scent of real news.
- The Chalet Books website isn’t about news, it’s about hocking books. It’s really that simple.
- Every link YOU have posted here on FR is also from Chalet Books... which makes me wonder what your connection is to them.
Is there a legitimate corroborating source for this claim about Flynn? I’d be interested to know if there is.
Without having more information to judge otherwise, it seems the T_D mods were right to use the banhammer.
“fear of Reddit’s site mods accusing them of brigading”
—
For those who are unfamiliar - “brigading” means basically gang-attacking a user (or a small group of users) in an ongoing, sustained manner. Also is used to refer to pitting one sub-Reddit group against another in an attempt to manipulate it, e.g. with lots of postings.
Seems like T_D is not the first place that there has been controversy surrounding posts from this business, see the forum thread linked below. The article above is heavily linked back to their own domain and publications, and heavy with emotional outbursts. A cursory search of the author’s name on the article doesn’t turn up any actual people. The poster’s name here is also a town in Texas, but not finding much more than that. I am going to concur with your conclusion.

NONE. I’ve answered this about sixteen times, and this is the last time.
I’ve also said about as many times: I POST HERE ITEMS FROM THEM THAT I DON’T SEE COVERED ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, OR ANYWHERE NEAR AS EFFECTIVELY, IN MY OPINION.
I wish to GOD you, or anybody else carping and whining about posts from that site would actually ADDRESS EVEN ONE OF THE ****FACTS**** PRESENTED, or post EVEN ONE SINGLE SITE THAT HAS ANYWHERE NEAR AS DETAILED AND ACCURATE A TIMELINE OF 2016 EVENTS AS IS IN THAT SERIES ON JOHN BRENNAN AND CO.
You won’t, because you can’t, because it doesn’t exist. I have found MASSIVE wrong dates and wrong information at EVERY OTHER SITE PURPORTING TO HAVE A “TIMELINE”. I’ve been to them all.
I’m not answering any more of this ad hominem crap, either about me, or about that site. I’m not their PR rep. If you have a problem with that site, TAKE IT UP WITH ****THEM**** AND ****NOT**** WITH ME.
And if you’re too internet challenged to find out how to contact THEM, which is prominently right on the site, here it is:
HTH. HAND.
