I had an account there and enjoyed posting in the comments after articles. I'm a numbers guy so I always backed up my postings with actual data. It was always fun to refute some idiot Trumpite with actual numbers. I even posted a timeline of his Covid comments from the pandemics start (that was really fun). Anyway I logged in today and found I was no longer able to post anything. I was signed in on the website but anytime I tried to post it would say I was logged out. I emailed and got a reply back pretty quickly stating my posting was no longer permitted. Considering all the whining the right wing has done about "censorship" by companies like Facebook and Twitter I was very amused by this. They like to dish it out but they sure can't take it.
I think the post that got me banned was one in which I replied to a posting about how great Trump was with the reply he was an "unqualified, failed businessman with four bankruptcies, a history not paying his working class vendors, whose only claim to fame was his ability to self promote himself and being a reality TV star". Ouch.

(6,679 posts)I had a busybody type "unfriend" me a few years ago. And made an effort to get the other ladies to do the same. All because I failed to see her as the Oracle of all knowledge.
I was so proud. You see, here I am still bragging. 😊

(17,195 posts)simple enough to do, kicked me off 3 times for suspicious activity, and my only activity was posting on
Democratic forums. 3rd time was the charm, never went back.

(32,628 posts)Open several accounts with fake names and email addresses. then post under those fake names, and "answer" your posts with other fake names. You can agree with and support your original post with other info (or opinions). The Repuke trolls do this all the time. They make it look like they all agree with each other, and people can't tell that it's only one guy doing all the posting.
