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. 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) Yet she gets away with name calling.. "Dragonbreath" or "Mildew" and nothing is done.. BobF has been calling people who disagree with him "Twisted" and "Moronic" for years... and nothing done.. I brought this up to Matrix once.. and he agrees that he is biased and basically tough cookies.. so why bother to even post there?

When the rules of conduct don't apply equally to both sides, it ruins the site. Exactly! JMHO, but I think when the moderator over there sees the Liberals getting a little too close to the truth, when they show undisputed facts.....out they go.

I was banned from Senior Forums many months ago (politics). The right wingers didn't even get their hands slapped. And Matrix is fine with that.. and has admitted it to me.

Hello DragonLady. I am still actively posting and attempting to be a voice of reason. Did you get any warnings? I have in the past been rebuked but so far not sanctioned.

Hi DragonLady. I'm sorry. My last post commenting on the polls (i.e., she claimed they were only sampling from California :)) got deleted, too. Polls is maybe the only thing I do happen to know something about. There is only one person who could have called for that to be deleted. So I think you are correct.
The main reason I've stuck it out on SF since February is I've got that stupid diary over there with 2.5 years worth of stuff I want to keep. But I'm really getting tired of the constant needling, even in non political threads. I guess I made a mistake by keeping quiet hoping it would blow over eventually. Sorry about that.

This gets more and more funny (the Ha Ha type and weird). I got the following message from Seabreeze (one of the Junior administrarors)
"Dragonlady, in case you weren't aware, Visitor Messages are viewed publicly by everyone and comments about moderation are not permitted on the forum as requested in the rules. Private messages are recommended. Thank you." The following were recent visitors to my profile: Agman, BobF, Dennis K, Falcon, HarryH, Lara, Lon (all hard core conservatives) Apparently one or more even complained about them - and 2 messages were deleted, so I don 't know what's in them. One of the deleted messages was from you Victor. That's getting pretty desperate when you go to a person's profile for incriminating evidence. Actually, I don't believe I said anything about administrators personally , but there may have been a comment from someone else. I didn't get any warning about being banned. I went to post something and was told No. I had posted something the night before. Thge whole thing is so trumpian.

Victor is now banned from that site. Must be because of the message he left? Unbelievable how that place is moderated.

I think I invited Victor to come here, but He didn't respond. That was a while ago though..

"The right wingers didn't even get their hands slapped." They'd probably like it.

I don't know if I was "Wounded".... Pissed off.. for sure. It's completely biased and one sided there.

Okay... perhaps not wounded in the traditional sense, but certainly the overall tone is a sense of loss, of betrayal even. If the word wounded isn't exact, then certainly the anger response is. I beg pardon for choice of word

Sometimes "pissed off" and wounded are both sides of the same coin.
