But it's kind of like quitting after you've been fired. He already had two other hides and was flagged for review, just awaiting an inevitable PPR. At that point, he had nothing to lose.

MIRTers get the notice of who does the banning and of course we discuss it in the MIRT forum, but the software removes the name (as a safety measure since at least one MIRT got stalked and threatened off site for banning a certain repeat troll)

so I know who did it hee hee

I'm glad Germany won for the first time as a united country

But the Brit announcers really pissed me off by referring to "the Argentines" instead of "the Argentinians." It reminded me of the Falklands War, where the Brits re-stole the Malvinas while referring to the entire country as "the Argentine," as though it were a primitive, mysterious land of savages. As you can tell, I am no fan of the Union Jack

Argentinian!

Stop using Imperial Brit terminology!

And ended up posting this, after a post of his was hidden for being an inappropriate 'joke':
Get me the Fuck off this Stalinist site!
Silly me, I actually thought Democratic Underground would be---guess what?---democratic! As in, a site where people could speak freely, and engage in discussions among liberals. But, after only a couple of days here, I see what you really are: An enterprise that purges any and all statements that do not agree 100% with EVERY OTHER POST on the site!

If I wanted this shit, I'd move to North Korea! DELETE MY ACCOUNT!

19. He also had a hide on a thread about sexism.

He said that he liked sex, his wife liked sex and they did it all the time or something like that. It wasn't on topic, he just dropped it there.

When he was called out on it, he said he was 'just joking.' Like Rush...

Sooo glad someone posted that tripe before he got banned. Yup!!
