    I tried to get a completely free speech account at Parle, and they shadow-pre-banned me! Not even a foot in the door! I guess they are not philosophy compatible, like many soylentils, but at least SN does not ban people who are inconvenient to the alt-right. Well, not outright, at least.

    Logs. Screenshots. Citations. Your story looks like a story. With your proclivity toward impersonations, I have to ask what user name you chose to register with. That might explain things.

      "That might explain things [censorship]."

      Hurr durrrrrr conservative runaway is now making excuses for censorship from a platform billing itself as totally all about free speech.

      Irony, gotta love it! Fuck off you fascist!

        Right-wing Nut-job censorship is already a thing here on SoylentNews. So probably aristarchus tried to register as aristarchus. I mean, why would he not? But perhaps, some devious scumbag, much more likely to have signed up for Parle earlier on, has already registered aristarchus' handle, to keep aristarchus from registering on Parle as aristarchus? Could have happened. Quite likely happened. Right-wing Nut-job censorship, without even the "libertariantard" veneer of free speech and why can't we let Nazis speak at your prestigious University pretence.

        They are going down. Ted Cruz is not God's appointed. Trump told us his wife is ugly, and he did nothing. The Rubio from the Movie with Robin Williams, Rubio, oh, sorry, Rufio. Well, all those rich bastards that fled Cuba after the peasants decided the had had quite enough, they are going nowhere. And Mormons! Mitt is catching, now, I hear, even though that is totally against Elder's Doctrine. And the racism apology, totally a hoax, Mormans are still racist. So that is all that is left of the Republican party, other than some random Bushes. And poor Runaway, left high and dry, in Arkansas, where the sun never shines on an honest man. I hear tell.

      I'd have done that, but Parlo told my computer not to take the screen shots.
