    Why do you mention TMB?

    If you look at the link I provided it points to a Meta released by Martyb who was the senior manager at the time. It was agreed by the administration by agreement after a discussion. It was necessary because of the disruption to the site being caused by a handful of community members which eventually also resulted with ACs being prevented from commenting in the front page stories.

    Thank Goodness that happened, and we ended up with a diminution of 96% of comments, once ACs had been banned. And, you really did not follow the debate over what constituted "spam", when TMB was arguing that anything that critiqued the right was spam? Has your memory gone, or your integrity, my dear and aged janrinok? Time to shut the site down, since you have prevented kolie from buying out the husk that remains. Spam mod me again, boyo! Prove that there is nothing here but the dregs of the alt-right, that have been banned at all decent websites. I dare you!!

      I would say it is 50/50 split on regular users and alt-lighters, and the bigots seem yo be trying hard to clean up their act around here. Or maybe dump's insurrection and other crimes have finally generated a tiny bit of humility with some of the more self aware users. Either way you are more right than wrong and the masked rightwing bias is still pretty clear.

        Nah, only five or six really brain damaged alt- and trad-right neo-nazis and Southern Lost Mind Cause soylentils, though they do seem to be given protection from the Brexit Knot Seas sympathizers in the Staff. I, for one, do not welcome out right-wing coddling administration. Time to shut the entire site down, since the neo-nazis have borked the kolie buy out. You get what you pay for.

          Somebody please help me get this out of my head...


          Well, it's five o'clock in the morning
          Feel just like the end of a mule
          Somebody's been yawning
          Trying to break out the rules
          Yes, it's high time we went
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went there?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          .

          Well, it's four o'clock in the morning
          Somebody's shouting the news
          Nobody's been yawning
          Preachers all around for the blues
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          .

          Three o'clock and I'm dreaming
          Somebody's shouting the way
          Nobody can see me
          Trying to find a brand new day
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          .

          Two o'clock and I'm rolling
          Everywhere I look is the same
          Somebody's been calling
          Trying to put the blame on my name
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          .

          It's one o'clock and I'm falling
          Falling for the same old game
          Somebody's been shouting
          Let me be by the stage
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          .

          Well, it's twelve o'clock and I got there
          Didn't think I'd make it in time
          Somebody's been shouting
          "Don't forget the lemon and lime"
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?
          Ain't it high time we went?

            Runaway probably has some suggestions.

              Like "Try that in a barely existent Arkansas town, like Foreman!" That song?
