Is this the same Hashemite?

But I do recall my original banning had something to do with a political opinion I had voiced which Ian the Fascist didn't appreciate.

This was your last post on AH.com:

look sh**t, i dont give two cents about your philosophy of life you ass. you speak like a retarded psycho. and your philosohpy still does not explain why you lied.

But sure, your banning was political oppression.

I never actually said that, because, if you had bothered being honest and quoting the rest of that post, I basically said that I deserved the ban(s) because I was a retarded douche back then. That being said, I had said something (stupid, admittedly) about supporting Israel in the 2006 invasion of Lebanon which Ian didn't like, and got pissed over it - I was like 14 back then or something and I was a blowhard - thus I got banned after throwing a little fit. The sockpuppet accounts were something a typical 14 year old banned from an internet forum would do. 

Thanks for being intellectually honest next time.

No, you don't get to qualify your legitimate banning with "I also said something political Ian didn't like.". You were banned for using personal insults and trolling. Period, end of statement.

Thanks for not using weasel words next time.

As a member of both forums, this little "rage at AH.com" thread makes me laugh so hard my jaw hurts. I mean seriously, either side accusing the other of being "stuck-up" is absolutely hilarious. I would advise everybody involved to get over themselves. Ian's forum is Ian's forum, and though he's obviously biased and a bit tyrannical, he has good reasons to be so (would you want gigantic flame wars between pedantic history nerds over folks like Enoch Powell?). Plus, he's got about a decade of experience in being an Admin, so honestly I trust his judgement in most AH.com matters.

Still, I can see where the AH exiles are coming from. Ian does tend to rule with more of a fist of iron then most mods, and he is a bit paranoid in trying to prevent flame wars. Additionally, he tends to have more animosity towards religious folks (especially conservative religious folks) then the other members.

So I'd say the truth is somewhere in the middle (cue South Park), though I'm a bit more biased towards Ian's point of view, having witnessed a lot of AH.cpm flame wars that could have been prevented by an early ban or kick by a mod.

Again, I think both the exiles/Atlas regulars and the AH.commers are taking this way too seriously.

Side note, when are you going to update An Era of Limits, oakvale? It's one of the best Post-1900 timelines on the site!

At this rate, probably sometime in 2016.

I had most of a large-ish update written a month or so ago, but suffered a crisis of confidence and declined to post it. I recommend bumping the thread - that, usually, eventually, guilts me into putting something up. Sorry!

I have been In many forums but AH.com Is one of the most opressive forums I have ever seen.

Producing statistics on Immigration? Scientific Racism - you are banned!

Beeing of the opinion that Communist crimes equal Nazi crimes? Nazi Relativizer - your are banned!

Beeing against left wing? You are a right wing extremist- you are banned!

AH. com is the perfect example of a left wing communist censorship site that banns all people
with some brains that are against the party line.

They are not too keen on bad grammar either.

You do realize that some of the most popular and well-regarded members on AH.com are the libertarian crowd, right? And most of them haven't been banned. In fact, even as a leftist member myself, I would say that the libertarians and vaguely center-right folks are better political timeline writers than the leftist crowd are.

Also, I've only seen people get banned for posting immigration statistics when the source is something like Stormfront. Let me guess, you were a AH.com member and tried to use a white nationalist source for immigration statistics? Not saying you are one, but if you used those specific sources for statistics, that's basically a bannable offense.

The Communist thing is patently untrue; no one has been banned for saying that the Soviets were worse than the Nazis. The only time I've seen that that subject has led to bannings is when person attacks and Nazi apologism gets involved.

To insist that AH.com is a leftist communist censorship site is laughable; it might have a clear leftist bias, but it's not some tyrannical dictatorship (though as I said before, Ian errs on the side of paranoia sometimes).

The poster "Caliboy1990" annoys me. Any DBWI thread regarding a Republican presidency, he ruins by coming in and says "What are you retards talking about"? and goes on to make up a whole bunch of problems that contradict all the previous posts.
