Hi all,
First time diary so if I violate any etiquette rules please be gentle with me.
A funny thing happened to me today. I was over at National Review (I know, I know, but I feel it is important to read what the right is up to) and read this article (http://www.nationalreview.com/...). Well naturally I disagreed with the assertions of the author and those of some of the comments. So I responded to a few comments and immediately the insults and taunts began pouring in (I could not even finish one comment before several "replies" to a previous comment showed up). This did not bother me as I am used to the mentality on that site. What did bother me however was after a few comments where I listed factual rebuttals to the arguments made in the comments section (with replies of troll, librul, etc.) I was blocked from making any further comments and all my previous comments were deleted.
I have been a long time commenter there and have never met much (if any) positive response to my comments, but I had never been banned and erased before. Has this happened to anyone else on that site?
Thank you for letting me vent and rant and I am really interested to hear of your experiences on that site.
p.s. None of my comments contained any personal attacks or slurs on the commenters nor on republicans in general. They were simply rebuttals of comments posted to the site
