their own personal site banhammer against anyone they disagree with?
Should the HoF group have the ability to ban posters completely on their own?
It's clear they will be happy with nothing less

3. Who whizzed in your wheaties this morning? nt

[seabeyond]

4. do not make this only about hof. it is not only hof. it is not only a few. look at the

threads with all the other voices. the recommends. do not dismiss all those voices on du. it is wrong. it is not nice. and it should be called out each and every time. that is not the reality. a lot of people are putting in their time, and being a strong voice. what a disservice to ALL those people. and there are lots and lots.

wow. what an insult. lol

[Autumn]

5. Well gee.

this is going to be interesting for a couple of minutes

[alcibiades_mystery]

[sufrommich]

7. ZOMG! HOF has run amok!!

They've taken Skinner hostage and are forcing admins to ban DUers they don't even want to ban!!!! Oh, the humanity!!

[JVS]

8. You think that would be enough?

[sufrommich]

15. No, we want your first born children too. nt

[seabeyond]

19. i dont wanna raise anymore. i am finally kicking my two out... lol. you cant make me. nt

[BainsBane]

16. Gotta get that popcorn down fast

[seabeyond]

20. they are probably choking on it by now.

i did not see any drinking a beverage and you know how dry ones mouth can get shoving it in.

[BainsBane]

28. A jury did leave it 3-4

So clearly we aren't as all powerful as the Discussionist crowd imagines. I'm guessing there is a thread over there that got him riled up since no one has been banned recently, that I know of.

[sufrommich]

30. A jury left this?? nt

[BainsBane]

33. Yes, and I wasn't the first alerter so I don't have results.

[sufrommich]

39. I would love to see the spin on why this isn't

an obvious hide.

[BainsBane]

42. Oh, sufrommich

You're so innocent. Three letters: HOF

[sufrommich]

50. Well,I do try to look on the bright side of life.

When I'm not cooking babies in my cauldron.

[seabeyond]

36. huh we have had a lot fo discussionist flavor this morning. of course jury left.

i do not know if i have seen a single jury hide for insult to hof.

but. the reality. this is an insult to a lot of du.

[demmiblue]

10. Meh, feck off.

Signed,
a non-HoFfer.

13. omg.... lol

all the people i listened to, the last couple days. all the literal brilliance and insightfulness and it is reduced to hof. too sad,....

[pintobean]

41. omg.... lol

That's just what you need.

[BainsBane]

14. non-HOFfer

[BainsBane]

11. Wow, and I'm the one who tells people to lay off the comments about the dog shooting

I won't be doing that again.

[MuseRider]

12. LOL, another man unhappy with a group of women

who won't take their crap?

Next.................

[cwydro]

17. I do like the term

"banhammer" though.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. meta. so meta. If you were truly sincere with this dialogue you would have posted in HoF.

and NO. this is about as clear as MUD. to answer the question.

[seabeyond]

22. insulting hof. community standard and all.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. hey, if you are going to swing the bat might as well go for a Grand Slam

wheeeeeeeee

gotta give him Kudos on his swing

[seabeyond]

27. ya. but what about the total failure of the miss. nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

32. oh yeah. a total Swing and a Miss.

I can feel the air from here. Whooooooosh !!!!!

[MuseRider]

45. He wiffed it!

So typical of those outraged by us simpler folk. A swing and a miss people. WHIFFFFT!

[boston bean]

21. Are you upset people don't agree with you.

Sure seems like it.

[upaloopa]

23. I don't understand why someone would

bother to interact with a group that pisses them off? You don't need the agrivation.

[socialist_n_TN]

24. What's the HoF group.......

I must have been

[BainsBane]

29. It's kind of like

socialists with lady parts.

[pinboy3niner]

43. DUzy!

[MuseRider]

49. Now that is not a swing and a miss.

Very good BainsBane. I love this!

[Little Star]

25. Backwoods......

good moniker for you, yes it is!

[CrispyQ]

48. Great minds!

That was my first thought, too!

[boston bean]

31. Hey all, these kinds of posts are inevitable when women

get a little to uppity on DU. The guys gotta come out and reclaim their space!

[BainsBane]

37. Oh right, the misogyny threads

posting about misogyny is exactly like banning people. How silly of me not to realize that.

[SidDithers]

34. If you don't like the way the Hosts of HOF run their Group, don't go there...

there are plenty of places at DU where you can discuss pretty much whatever you want.

Sid

[boston bean]

44. Backwardsbob never posted in HoF as far as I can tell..........

[seabeyond]

47. didnt he come in once and lectured us how to be feminists? nt

[CBGLuthier]

35. Do you always answer your own questions?

Perhaps you should start a one man discussion board where you can be absolutely right about everything all the time instead of completely wrong about many things quite often. Like now.

[LeftyMom]

38. Sometimes the best sign you're doing the right thing is that you've pissed off the worst people.

This thread makes me smile for just that reason.

[Gormy Cuss]

40. Meta, but rest assured that many of us objecting to misogyny here aren't part of the "HoF group"

I don't recall ever seeing the HoFfers asking for the ability to ban posters either. Their hosts can and do block people from within the group, just as hosts in other groups do.

[BainsBane]

46. I don't even think he is banned

could be wrong though. I don't recall his ever posting in there. This has Discussionist poutrage written all over it.
