re: #161 Killgore Trout

I appreciate you taking time to try to substantiate this.

I don’t take anything from mondoweiss seriously tho. They say it was for no reason, but apparently he did something that merited banning under the rules, that’s all. There are no wanton bans there, everything must be according to the rules. And unless someone can show otherwise, the rules against antisemites (and racists in general) have always been in place, unlike the rules against conspiracy theorists, who began to be banned on sight in 2009 (after the appropriate announcement about the change of the rules).

Again, it is easy to go to those old antisemitic posts and see that the users were banned, and that the comments section is always full of condemnation.

It may be that at one time there was a tide of antisemites registering to post their stuff. It doesn’t mean that it’s ever been tolerated.

So it’s outright false to say that “they”, meaning the DKos, used to post Nazi stuff like you showcased above.
