Basically, my account got deleted on MyDD without getting troll rated once tonight. Just thought people should know that MyDD is performing censorship without reason.

Here's the only blog I commented on tonight.
Me:
Dean was the candidate of small donors. By the end of the year, he had around 260K? 280K donors? Obama is sitting at 459,975 Unique donors. Obama has outdeaned Dean.
Dean was also the candidate of big crowds. Dean had crowds around what size? While Obama has had a crowd of 28K in Columbia, SC - 23K in New York City, NY - 20K in Austin, TX - 10K in Oakland, CA. Obama has outdeaned Dean.
People keep trying to compare the two, when in reality, Obama is something different.
Jerome:
That's the essence of the Obama Movement, isn't it-- seeing only the concept of numbers, and marketing them even better by leaving out the substance.
Me:
What is your problem Jerome? These are parts of what made Dean, Dean. He wouldn't have had such fluent fundraising if he didn't have a strong appeal to small donors. If he didn't have a strong appeal to small donors, he never would have had a serious run for the white house. If he didn't have big crowds, how would his campaign flex the energy and keep people on their feet with excitement? A campaign that's purely substance is determined to lose.
If you think the Obama campaign has left out substance, I'd be happy to hear what campaign you're watching. You're the guy posting on the frontpage criticizing his Health Care Plan. How can you criticize a plan if he has no substance? Please, bring the conversation ABOVE a 2nd grader status. Quit the petty arguments and bring something real.
The topic is a front-pager saying Obama isn't the second coming of Dean. I commented on how Obama outdeaned Dean in a couple aspects of it. Jerome responds saying Obama has no substance, I ask him how he can front-page post criticizing a health care plan if he has no substance. Anyone see any trolling or anything going on here?
Other than that, tonight I troll-rated a post from this diary:
http://www.mydd.com/...
Where a Hillary supporter was protesting an Obama diary because someone posted it here. Of course cross-posting is a common practice and the comment is absurdly trollish.
And... the only other comment tonight was...
Same diary as the first:
Jerome:
Terrific, Natasha. There's been a case of amnesia that happened to Democrats after the stunning 2006 victory, whereby anything previous to then is assumed to be ancient history and all that we Democrats need is for a Presidential candidate to be nominated, no matter who it is or what their record is or how they wage their camapign --it's just all a personality contest for us to elect whatever our excitement can imagine-- and presto, Democrats will win the 2008 election.
It's a nightmare to me to consider what Obama would be like in the general election against McCain.
Me:
Funny you should mention amnesia. John Kerry was the "establishment" candidate in 2004. A long-term senator from a liberal state. Yet in 2008, you've got your money on the "establishment" candidate, a long-term senator from a liberal state. This is too hilarious. You can't write stuff this good.
So what's going on? Jerome can't stand criticism so he's banning opposition or what? Anybody know? Scary to think of the dictator style that is being taken to the blogs now-days.
