4. Always??? If the shoe fits...

In other news, an anecdote, if I may...

Some while ago I posted, in a thread here on DU, a very mild criticism of Pres. Obama. Checking my posts soon after, I found that I had been banned from the BOG.

I was truly perplexed, because I would never post in the BOG, since it's considered a "safe" place where posters don't have to argue with others about his faults. As it turned out, I had posted from the "latest threads" section of DU, not paying attention to where my post ended up.

I PM'ed OK Nancy and apologized, which she kindly accepted.

The point of this is that it doesn't seem to work both ways. This is a group. I'm not interested in arguing about whether, or how much, America is blamed for all the current chaos in the world. That seems to be where this is going.

Does this mean that I can go to the BOG and start picking apart what posters are saying about Pres. Obama?
