Plea To Moderators: Can You Please Un-Tombstone Truth Is All?

[Mister Ed]

The work being done by posters like TruthIsAll is my reason for following DU. He seemed to me as though he was the patron saint of sober, rational investigation. I would hate to see such a valuable resource lost because he was baited into a flamefest.

1. How did that happen?

:wtf:

[keepthemhonest]

9. here is the dirty deed

15. I skimmed it. Why was he tombstoned?

It didn't seem that bad.

[keepthemhonest]

22. they deleted what was said

so i don't know. I have seen people pushing him all the time. They can't wait until he posts and then they pounce on him.He has stated before that it is usually people with only a few posts, not that it makes them frepps but, there are always opposers.

2. Is a tombstone permanent or is is temporary? Kinda like standing in

da corner?

[roseBudd]

6. The things we type are just words, only sticks and stones...

[KansDem]

12. If absolutely necessary, couldn't a kind of "time out" be in order?

I agree with other DUers; his/her work was very informative and helpful to this DUer to have him/her banned permanently.

3. A big loss! Please reconsider. nt

[Darknyte7]

4. What the hell?!?!?!

When, how & why did this happen???

[keepthemhonest]

5. ditto

a second vote to untombstone TIA
Thanks for starting this thread, was thinking of doing it myself.

7. ME, you should take this to the Admin Forum n/t

[Mister Ed]

19. Thanks, will do. (I'm such a newbie I didn't know about the Admin Forum).

Grateful for the guidance. I'm a newbie who mostly lurks in order to keep abreast of developments. I try to keep my postings to a minimum so that I don't muddy the waters.

8. If TIA

has been tombstoned, it must have been an isolated incident. TIA belongs here. The statistical wing of DU needs good people like TIA.

[BamaBecky]

10. I would like to see amnesty for several folks. I realized their are rules

and we need to follow the rules - tombstone - is soooooo final! Can't we come up with a penalty phase, then a tombstone for repeated offenses?

:shrug:

[Al-CIAda]

11. Objection!

I'm relatively new here, but truthisall is a great poster with mad skills, IMO. No idea what went on, but he is a workhorse for the cause.

[keepthemhonest]

16. agreed

and as i said before we need to have a little bit of tolerance here. some people are working their butts off to try to figure out what happened on election day and they are not getting any sleep. Let's try to be for giving of things that people do.

[pixelthief]

13. WTF?

TIA is tombstoned? That guy was working tirelessly for the cause. Why do we keep pushing people away?

[stellanoir]

14. When and why the heck did he get tombstoned?

This saddens me greatly.

His diligent statistical crunching really kept me inspired to keep writing LTTE's and e-mails about the fraud.

Please reconsider.

[keepthemhonest]

17. yes tireless

and yes very inspiring like I was not doing enough by his standards.WTF

[DrDebug]

18. I'm a newbie, but I loved TIAs posts

Even if he did terrible things to the adminstration he is a vital person in the covering the election fraud with awesome arguments.

Please bring him back. We need him.

[Amaryllis]

20. Please explain flamefest and why someone would get tombstoned for getting

into one? I haven't been around long enough to understand but I keep seeing references to this. I have read the rules but don't want to inadvertently screw up.

[unpossibles]

21. I agree 100%

(or 120% in some precincts in FL and OH....)

even if some of his arguments may seem over the top, TIA is one of the hardest working people here and helped to draw a lot of support to this site and the fraud in general.

I think the statistical exit poll evidence of his may be what made me go from thinking "it's just me" to thinking "wow! something big is happening here!"

23. Questions about DU policy belong

in the Ask the Admins forum.

Thanks.
