In reply to the discussion: Has the banning of dkf made you more reluctant to criticize certain things on DU? [View all]The Magistrate
(95,247 posts)The person you refer to was a right-wing troll, and over-stepped yesterday.
The idea that this person's eviction was owing to criticism of anything in particular, and especially criticism of drone strikes or NSA surveillance or details of the ACA is risible.
This person supported virtually every right-wing economic nostrum in present circulation. There was not one right-wing talking point, including birtherism, this person did not find some means of presenting as a topic here.
The 'final straw' was citing once too often straight right-wing sources as legitimate presenters of fact in criticism of the President. When you present your attack on some feature of the ACA using commentary by Romney campaign advisers, you make it pretty clear what you are engaged in. This person did this sort of thing routinely.
The banning ought to have come long ago; it was very tardy.
