One stupid joke out of at least 800 posts per month, and he was also an effective poster against the candidate supported by the admin. First it was "it's their right to openly support whomever they choose" - duh, obviously it's their right. Doesn't make it a wise course of action. Now they've escalated it by banning someone who, after 7 years as a clearly progressive and contributing member, with recent brain surgery, made one stupid joke against Hillary.

Something stinks around here.
