Comments: Expand Shrink Hide (Always) | Indented Flat (Always)
...that you-know-who has been banned here numerous times, nobody knowing how many, that yesterday we had a Ben Heine apparition under a pseudonym, and that given that I note it's unfair, I really don't see what the problem you have here is, precisely.
As I said, maybe to make the point a bit clearer, it's a mess, and as I said yesterday in a comment in the Heine diary you recommended,
I'm beginning to feel a whiff of sympathy for the legitimate, credible Israel critics here; it's patently unfair that they're tarred with trash like this, over which they have no control, and thus in my mind bear no responsibility for.
Like I said, we have a sockpuppet problem, specifically in the I/P diaries, and I'm not a part of that problem, good sir. Nor am I a hypocrite to point it out, if you don't mind.
Still all about electing Democrats.

for you on the one hand to note how unfair it is that new diarists automatically get accused of being shergald, and then in the very same comment accuse a new diarist of being shergald. Can you seriously not recognise the cognitive dissonance there?
Yeh, I recommended your comment yesterday because I thought you were being sincere. Today, I find that actually you were just trying to act sincere and concerned about the quality of I/P discussion, but in reality you continue with the same old smears and snide little implications of sockpuppetry, with no evidence whatsoever to back them up. Indeed, if you bothered to follow Anna's links, you'd see that she's obviously not shergald, but a respected commentator in her own right.
So what did you offer in response to a really useful diary, an eyewitness account of life under occupation? Do you offer anything constructive, any interesting comments about the diary? No. You just do the same old thing of implying that the diarist must be shergald.
That's why you're a hypocrite, and that's why (in your words) I/P comments are so often "a mess".

...what you're worried about is the hypocrisy of the people who comment on possible sockpuppetry. Meanwhile, you go around demonstrating your commitment to keeping trolls and sockpuppets off the site by rec'ing a diary containing Ben Heine cartoons, by another Shergald recruitee that got banned over that diary. Because you, like, totally care about actual trolling and sockpuppetry and just question the unfairness of those who criticize it.
Um, no, that doesn't seem to be it. You just want people to shut up and stop getting in the way of the sockpuppets and trolls.
So yeah, I take accusation of hypocrisy coming from you super-dooper-seriously; especially since, as I'm just now seeing, you think you're even competent to judge whether I'm qualified to be a Democrat, to which I say:
Hahaha! Good one.

I note you make no attempt to defend yourself whatsoever.
Secondly, I saw nothing wrong with that diary at all. Yeh, I'd have preferred it if the Ben Heine cartoon wasn't used, but it's not such a big deal. If he was really banned for that, then it's a disgrace.
Thirdly, even you don't claim that DesertPeace was a sockpuppet, so exactly why you bring that up here is beyond me.
Fourthly, you suggested that wanting the U.S. to stop acting like a criminal state and wanting the Dems to be elected into the Whitehouse were mutually exclusive. If that's really your view, then I have no idea why you would want to support the Democrats, since doing so would effectively be supporting war crimes.
