They have heavy handed moderators that delete and ban, not just for violations of TOS, which I NEVER violate, but for dissenting opinion, especially on political and social issues, and also for laughing at the horrific writing and deplorable excuses for journalism in most stories. I've seen most of the regular posters already banned and come back as similar iterations, for also NOT violating the TOS. I guess it was finally my turn.

Oh well, I guess that's the last they see of me. I won't bother creating a new ID. Sad, though, because there is a fun, core group of people who, regardless of political differences, all enjoy pointing out spelling, grammar, and basically horrific, Third World writing by the news site.

I guess now I'll have time to tackle those projects I have been procrastinating about....raking the leaves, getting the truck washed, etc.

Almost if not all MSM outlets are so far gone preaching lies and disinformation, who really cares if they banned you. Probably in your favor. News at this point is just slanted BS, that they try to get the general population to believe. Liberals are all peace, love, and joy, until you call them out. There is nothing "true" about the news now. Nothing but pure shit.....

The website is abc13 News -- KTRK Houston and Southeast Texas News (http://abc13.com/)

My now banned moniker on that site is Bill. (Yes, I really am that dull and unimaginative). Unfortunately you can't post pictures, only post text in response to stories. When you go to their site, click on a story, then at the bottom, there's a button to read the comments, and, for members, leave comments.

VB Strike Team, have at it!

You guys know me.....I'm opinionated, but reasonably polite. I never violated the TOS, never attacked anyone, never used profanity, etc. I may, however, have pointed out some of the horrible grammar, spelling, and overall journalism by their writers. Oh, and I did compare the deleted posts of others there to Pinochet's Argentina. Other than that, really nothing.

You didn't leave your account logged on and Fuzzball was posting on it?
Things like "Cats Rule, Dogs Drool" may not go over so well there

There are several cats and dogs that post there. Of course, the names change periodically as they get banned and reappear. For example, The Great Catsby is now posting as, Catsby, Jr.
