I was just banned from a yahoo group for being anti war.
LOL the freeper's heads are allready exploding about Lamont.
I used to belong to a yahoo group called slidemeister and it's about the chromatic harmonica. Anyhow the group has become increasingly right wing in content but I have been toughening it out because I want to learn how to play this instrument.
So anyhow I got about six emails telling me how dangerous Lamont is dangerous for the Democrats. This kind of bashing is rare because "we are not supposed to talk about politics on the forum."
So I finally wrote back and said "Hey if you love the war so much how come you haven't enlisted." Bam Bam. Just a few minutes ago I got banned from the list with the words saying "I am a conservative right wing republican you liberal commy moran. And your not supposed to talk about politics on this forum."
*sigh* Okay big whip they banned me. That's probably because they so know that were going to kick their elephant ass in November. And I take it as a good thing because now I have more time on my hands to donate to our candidates.

1. Good job!
But on the plus side...I have made two conservatives leave a "certain" chat room, because of their bigoted, racist, war mongering views...they got fed up with me...:) But good job, at least those people know, there are people out there who strongly oppose their views.

7. I agree
It was cool when it first stated but all of a sudden their was a great influx of people passing around christians hymns, which i have no problem with. But than it became a heaven for Kirk Cameron's thought of they day, and finally rw ring view points. Hell they did me a favor by banning me.

9. I sometime wonder at the illogical competitive viewpoints a
human must hold, all at once, in order to remain a republiclown.

I think if they actually had the capacity to explore their own psyches, with an even-handed examination, free from the easy bigotry, honest to a fault, they would begin to be discovered in huge mounds at the city dump. The shock of seeing themselves as they truly are could lead to mass suicides.
Of course, that would require character...

11. A right-wing chromatic harmonica group?
Screw 'em, DanCa. You don't need them.

Stay off of the dumbass site and spend more time on your harp.

Good to see you around.

13. I once joined a Bible Study room and got chastised about asking
about a Bible quote. They said "We don't di cuss the Bible here". It was a front to witness people to proclaim that they believed in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

How silly of me, to believe that a Bible discussion group was not to discuss the Bible! I am pretty sure I know where those deceivers will go! And Dan I know your from b-net right? Haven't been there in a way long time!

15. Just shake the dust off your keyboard and say "Good Riddance"
and perhaps you'll find a better group of chromatic harmonica players somewhere in the left tubes.:)

"Liberal commy moran."

:rofl:

17. Is this whole thing as absurd as it sounds?
Maybe that's why I am not that upset by it.

18. Yes, it is
I've heard the same complaint from others on various forums and groups.

The Repukes on the boards can talk all the politics they like; anyone dissenting is banned.

That's the way Repukes like to play, dontcha know?




Fair. :sarcasm:

19. Congratulations on standing up.
BTW if your local community college music dept or high school music dept or retirement village will probably be able to put you in touch with someone who will give you lessons, sometimes for a very small fee. I learned banjo this way. HS band teacher put me in touch with a retired widowed gentleman that is good at playing banjo and was willing to guide me along in exchange for some decent home cooked meals with my family.
