Of the four referenced, I found that one to be the most offense to me as well. What does he think he's doing giving me a thumbs up. He doesn't know me, he doesn't know who I am and how I'm feeling. Who is he to give me such a sign and assume my emotional state without first getting permission?
If you've got time to kill, you're all in This thread. ITR SOL wasn't around long enough to make much of an impression before he got the ban hammer. I'll give him credit though for standing up against stacked odds. Interesting that four participants in that thread have all eventually been sent packing.

Look at your behavior here, each person who's chosen a side believes their side is right and the others' is wrong. This goes to the point where people will start to seek out "wrongdoings" to the point of calling foul for things that their own side has a tendency of doing as well. If anyone here thinks either side is right, then I call you a fool, for you have been manipulated and truly don't understand the game at play. But hey, what do I know...? Carry on, the only people that win this fight are those that benefit from us being divided."

Yup. Dangerously sounds like reality.
Take a moment and reflect on the protests by the TEA Party, and any Left wing movement.
