Firstly, circumnavigating a ban is a big no no, so don’t do that. Part of the reason the mods moved to here is exactly for that reason, so they have total control over moderation.

You’re not owed an explanation. This is their website, you are a guest and just like any person who causes problems in your own home can be kicked out immediately, they can do that here too. Second, don’t spam, everyone can read you perfectly ok the first time.

Thirdly, your behavior in the September 12th thread was probably why. Don’t attack other members you disagree with in personal ways. Especially, to a long term member. Also, in case you were unaware, this is a pro-Democratic website. If you just posted the data, canned the snide swipes at Democrats and stopped trying to instigate problems you’d have a much better chance of staying a member. As it sits, you’ll probably be rebanned because you openly admit to flaunting the moderators decision to ban you.

I've found Nir is quite tolerant of dissent and stupidity, and people who get BJed have a pattern and lack the judgment of when to just STFU.

By BJed I presume you mean "bojoed", which is Daily Kos terminology for banned, with the skull and crossbones icon Kos uses for such (ex-) members' "mojo."

North Carolina Absentee Ballot update:

The board said North Carolina will send out absentee ballots to military and overseas citizens by Sept. 20. Other absentee ballots will be sent by Sept. 24 to voters who requested ballots by mail, including those who use the Visually Impaired Portal (VIP) to request and return their ballots.

LOL thank you. Yes! We do give people a lot of rope. But it’s also important to remember that this is not just a message board but a community. If regulars start feeling like they don’t want to participate here because of a handful of assholes, that’s a real problem that can lead to a death spiral.
