I now have the honor of being the second liberal thinking person on this forum to have been booted from the senior forum political thread:). Apparently I was really getting under her skin. She is almost a female version of Trump in many ways - especially in her reaction to opposition :). Ironically some of her responses were even more personally negative than mine even came close to being. I always wondered about her connections to the Reps . There was something rather strange there. .

Sorry to hear that dragonlady . Are you speaking of Lara? Sad thing about that place is that if one cannot be part of the 'whole' forum, what's the sense in posting there! I do believe that place leans too far right and they moderate it so it stays that way.

senior forum's members do not like differing points of view

The SECOND liberal thinking person to be booted? lol! There have been about a dozen of us this happened to.. Welcome to the club! Matrix does not allow Liberals too much freedom of speech.

I ventured into the Senior Forum over the weekend, and the political comments reminded me once again why I don't like it there anymore. The member called Lara strikes me as a bit crazy, obsessed and obstinate. If I visit in the future, I'll likely avoid the political section. Then of course, there is the always crazy BobF.

Yes, there are more than just two of us...it is really getting pretty deep over there. Drifter is correct, it is moderated to the advantage of the far right.

All I can say about that other place is:
THEIR LOSS IS OUR GAIN, and we love having you folks here! #huggy

I've seen chat rooms torn apart and even shut down because of this red hot hatred that festers in the body, mind, and souls of many far right Conservatives. It's either their way or the highway. In the past I've tried to have meaningful conversations with them but it was like talking to someone who has just been injected with an anesthetic or talking to a drunk. Would you honestly expect a rational chat with someone like that? Why bother? All they want to do is fight and tear apart anybody that doesn't agree with some of their cruel and hurtful ideas. Truth be told they scare me.
I understood what that bible story means now. The one that says something like don't cast your pearls among swine because all they'll do is trample on them and then turn and attack you.
I don't even look at a Rep/Con chat rooms anymore. They're all the same. They all say the same mean spirited stuff. Besides, they give me a pain in my stomach and I don't need any more belly aches. lol.
You might have been booted but that's not necessarily a bad thing. ;)

I don't have any way of knowing for sure, but I strongly suspect Lara of being behind my ejection. She behaves much like a southern Grand Dame who feels she is several levels above the rest of us and she has a really strong dislike of opposition/ disagreement. I was rather flattered that she thought me dangerous enough to dispose of me :). I can't help but wonder if she isn't someone semi-important in the rep. party - maybe someone's wife, etc.? BobF is of much the same temperament. They are both as divorced from reality as possible (politically)

I was not booted from Senior Forums, but a post I did about Trump was deleted all three times I posted it. No explanation was made. I have not been back since.
Lara is super opinionated and a little bit too rabid for my taste.

I was banned from Senior Forums many months ago (politics). The right wingers didn't even get their hands slapped.

And it's not that I mind opposing views when it comes to politics. I think it's healthy to have that, but when the comments turn to personal attacks, insults based on your political beliefs, a refusal to even consider the opposing viewpoint, then such a forum becomes unpleasant. For a long time I enjoyed my participation on the other site, but when like-minded folks get booted, it ruins the overall experience for everyone. When the rules of conduct don't apply equally to both sides, it ruins the site. I may still comment over there from time to time, but will stay away from the politics section. I just don't need the hassle in my life.
