You’re not going to believe this nonsense.
After just moving to Pennsylvania from Indiana, I wanted to get politically active. One of the things I did was join the Operation Cleansweep yahoo group.
So I sent a “Hi, just moved to PA, tell me what I can do,” message. Nothing even vaguely partisan about it.
A bit later, a reply came through. Here it is, without the headers:
hey moderator. . .how about removing this website that
has nothing to do with cleansweep. . .

I had no idea what the problem might have been, or what website she was talking about, so I sent this message:
> hey moderator. . .how about removing this website that

Excuse me? Remove what website from what? What
exactly is your problem?

to which I received this. Oh wait. Back up. Remember that this Russ Diamond bozo claims to be a libertarian? okay. Keep that in mind. Here’s his response:
We’ve had a number of complaints regarding the website included in your
signature. I’ll ask you to not include it if participating on this
board. I’ve deleted the posts which include it. If futher posts are
made listing the website, I’ll be required to ban you. Sorry.
I have not formed any personal opinion about the site. Thsi discussion
group is a non-partisan effort designed to unite. Regardless of the
merit of your site, it is causing division with more than one member,
so I’ll ask you to self-edit.
Thank you.

This is amazing. First, we have lefty whiners, none of whom was forced to click on a link or has apparently ever heard of a .sig file, moaning and complaining (but then, leftists always demand that no other voice be heard but their own). But the really amazing thing is that this gutless, emasculated coward, Russ Diamond, apparently is so unprincipled (libertarian, my ass) that he immediately rolls over for these lefty scumbags. Then there’s that arrogant crap about “reviewing” my site, as if my site is any of his goddamned business.
I unsubscribed–and promptly took a shower to get the Russ Diamond filth off.
Russ, if you’re a libertarian, I’m a Democrat.
