I set up an account at Redstate.com for the reason of trying to have political discussion with people from the opposite side. I was delighted to see that there wasn't a five day waiting period to post comments or diaries. So I read through some diaries, posted some comments, and that was that. Today, I decided to visit again and I posted a few more comments. Then I got shut off. I have lost the right to post on Redstate.com. I know this has happened to others as well. This diary is my reply to Redstate.com.
I've posted a few comments on this website that have seemed to touch the nerve of a few of you. I don't understand what the problem is? I don't know why I am being called Moby. I don't know why people are accusing me of wasting my life. I don't know why people want me to take my ideas and go home. That is wrong.
I entered upon this website because I thought that I could learn a few things. I didn't come here to preach, wag fingers, and call people names. Just because I am not a person who follows the rank and file statements of everyone else does not make me a bad person. You may not care what I believe in, and some of you may resent me for believing in something different, but that does not mean that I should shut myself up.
I believe that we all want the same things in this world: a successful country, a safe place to live, and a good paying job. We may go about things differently but the end results should be the same. I have promised to listen to everyone's opinions with respect. I would appreciate everyone else to the same to each other. Both political parties claim to be big tents. Everyone needs to start acting like it.
Many of you are probably going to close your eyes to this posting and call me a self-righteous SOB. That's just who I am. That's how most of us are. The truth is the only thing that matters and the truth starts with you and me.
I hope Dkos doesn't do the same thing. If it does, I wish to resign my posting and commenting privileges.
