I can't exactly explain why, but something about this strikes me as kind of an interesting blog moment.
Markos, of Daily Kos, mass banned a large group of people because wild conspiracies:
I have a high tolerance level for material I deem appropriate for this site, but one thing I REFUSE to allow is bullshit conspiracy theories. You know the ones -- Bush and Blair conspired to bomb London in order to take the heat off their respective political problems. I can't imagine what fucking world these people live in, but it sure ain't the Reality Based Community.
So I banned these people, and those that have been recommending diaries like it. And I will continue to do so until the purge is complete, and make no mistake -- this is a purge.
As one of the most visited websites ever, Daily Kos has become such a huge community and widely spread voice, it just seems to me that this sort of self-regulation is interesting. No value judgment, here. It's just interesting.
