I admit that I can be aggressive in a gentle sort of way. I was in that sort of mood when I posted a few comments on C4P's site last night under a topic that was excusing Sarah from "lifting" thoughts and words from the Gingrich-Shirley article without attribution. I wondered aloud if there was anything her highness could do or say that would raise an eyebrow of concern among her disciples. And I further wondered if anyone at C4P had a problem with Michael Reagan, and Sarah's glowing praise and encouragement of him when she introduced him.
The first poster to reply to me said, " Go away DivaPiglit."
Another wrote, "Tell your masters they need to come up with a better boogey man then Michael Reagan ok."
A third chimed in, "In case you haven't noticed, this isn't 'Converatives4MichaelReagan'. Who cares what he said or didn't say? And why the hell do you care if anyone here agrees with him or not?"
Then R.A. Mansour joined the fray, "She cited her source. How can she have plagiarized when she vited [sic] her source?"
The next thing I know, I read this from RAM, "Bye troofers. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." Every post I'd made on the thread so far was removed.
So I wrote an e-mail asking what happened and why. Full content below, in chronological order:

On what grounds, please?
I did not, to my knowledge, break any rules about posting.
Thank you for a prompt response,

Off topic, spamming the thread, and being an over all jerk who annoys all of us. How's that?
I didn't actually ban you. This thread was your warning. Do it again and you're gone for good.

The topic was Goeffrey's article about Sarah's plagiarism. I do not believe I was off topic.
I opened some remarks and then responded to replies directly made to me. I do not understand how that qualifies as spamming.
As for being an "over all jerk who annoys all of [you]", perhaps that is how you see it, but I did not impugn any poster or the site. I did not malign you or anyone else there, I only asked a few questions about plagiarism and the speech that Sarah gave -- which was, in all 17 minutes, supposed to be a glowing introduction to Michael Reagan.
As for me, I did not receive even one honest answer to any of my questions from any of the people who spoke with me. Yet I am not annoyed, I am only saddened. Why does what I said annoy you?
As for your warning... I do not know what not to do again. Perhaps if you'd lay out the rules? Can one not question Sarah Palin's actions? Can one not point out that Mike Reagan wants to stuff hand grenades into babies' butts? Can one not link Sarah Palin with those she introduces and cheers on?
Thank you for a response, though. I wasn't expecting it.
Sincerely,
Lee Franklin

You know what "saddens" me? Your Trig Trutherism.

I do not believe I have posted anything about Trig (Palin, right?) on the C4P site, ever. Have you removed my posts from a thread about Sarah's alleged plagiarism because you suspect I may not subscribe to your beliefs concerning the birth of Trig?
Seriously?

That's it. Now you are banned for life, you sick son of a bitch.
"may not subscribe" to my beliefs?
Yes, I would also delete and ban racists, Obama birth certificate truthers, and Holocaust deniers.
You are at home with those people.
Don't ever come back to my blog. Don't email me again. Your emails are going in my SPAM filter.
For some reason I don't fully understand, the topic of Trig Palin's parentage is as horrific as garlic soaked in holy water and wrapped around silver stakes would be to a vampire. RAM and most everyone else at C4P seem to be deathly afraid of touching the topic at all. And I didn't even bring it up.
I pointed out the apparent disconnect between how they viewed Sarah Palin's cheerleading for Michael Reagan, and Obama's non-connection to Bill Ayers' revolutionary actions. Go figure.
Gosh, now that I'm branded as a sick son of a bitch, maybe I should get a tattoo?
