welcome, LW!

As I'm sure you've noticed, your presence here is bound to elicit two types of questions from many of the users... 1) why wasn't [moderated comment at 911blogger] posted and 2) why was [user] banned? I agree with you that instances of the former will be potentially too numerous to respond to. Instances of the latter, however, are surely of greater importance to those asking, and as such I would like to offer a general appeal. It would seem to many people here that they were banned at 911blogger primarily because they were known to also post here at WTCD, as a form of punishment and/or warning that merely engaging in discussion at WTCD was some kind of unforgivable violation. By most people's standards, this--if true, and think it is--was uncalled for and detrimental to the very understanding we might hope to reach among truth activists who hold diverse views. In any case, yes, being a moderator can be a thankless job, and there are times when one has little choice but to restrict a user who persists in violating a site's published standards of conduct. I respect and thank you for taking on the role at 911blogger, which however we may feel about it is an important site to the truth movement, and for reaching out such that we might, through more--not less--dialogue, work together to advance the cause we all purport to share.
