Yes, that’s me and a troll in Seattle in the article picture.
It’s appropriate because I got sent an email from the highest ranking person in this organization about a week ago. I thought I’d share it with you all. It seems I banned a liberal troll about a month ago, and he thought it unjust. I don’t remember who this was or what they said. It doesn’t matter. I don’t just ban people without reason. Anyway, here’s what it had to say. I have redacted the names of both the troll and who he complained about. I think you might get a chuckle out of it.

Subject: Unjust ban
I have been banned after having violated NONE of your terms of service.Meanwhile you have a poster by the name of
Upstanding patriot (my edit)
Who has threatened people, challenged people to fights, harasses posters and uses profanity worse than a sailor.
Worse than a sailor? Try hanging around some Marines sometimes, puss cakes.
I have been polite to everyone I have engaged with in discussion and even asked this clown to stop harassing me. And you ban ME and not HIM??
No, no, no. Does anyone else see this? He claims he was polite yet calls the person he’s complaining about a “clown.” So are we to believe his claims? No.
I am making a formal demand that he be banned and I will not rest until either he is or your entire little charade is destroyed.
Well, make all the demands you want to. And I’m glad you lose sleep over this and have made it the central preoccupation of your life. I’m not banning the patriot.
Originalists? Yeah right. Ban him. Now. Or I will have to present to your superiors the ridiculous favoritism you have used in this absurd decision.
I also want your superior’s name, email and phone number. You can send it to this address.
Here’s the problem, my fellow Deplorables. This letter came from the owner of Def-Con. I responded to him with:
“I don’t know who this lunatic might be, but the only reason I ever ban anyone is when I see obvious liberal trolls or the regulars ask me to ban ones that I might have missed. The stuff he’s saying about “Upstanding Patriot” (my edit) might be true, but he only does it to trolls like this.
I hope your superiors don’t get too upset with you. LOL “Superiors.” That’s rich. Send him the email and phone number to the White House. ;)”
My “superiors” heard the complaint, asked me about it, and I responded. Seems to have worked out OK because I’m still here. 😉
So . . . To all of you who may not share our views who want to post here like civilized people, you are welcome. But you start calling names and insulting our Def-Con family, I will most certainly thow you out on your ass. We are open to debate. CIVILIZED debate.
I’m not on some power trip here, I’m just defending my community from those who would seek to undermine it. Again, post whatever you want here. I guess for you, it’s too late because you were unable to abide by that. Oh well. I’ll go to bed tonight and sleep like a baby while you “will not rest until either he is or your entire little charade is destroyed.”
There’s no charade here, darling. You go get another email address and try posting again. If it’s civil, you have nothing to worry about. Until then, good luck with shutting down this “charade.”
As for me? I’m really nothing but a good gardener. I pull weeds when I see them.
