I lasted less than a week. It wasn’t because I wanted it to end, but rather the difference of opinion isn’t welcomed by the left. Well what did I expect? Honestly, I wasn’t sure. I knew it was a hotbed for radical left wing thought, but hey, sometimes you never know how something’s going to go until you give something a try. So, I signed up for the Daily Kos website 6 days ago and thought I’d see how welcome I’d be.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the Daily Kos is a left wing blog that is quite popular. So after my 24 hour waiting period, I was able to post comments. My first valuable discussion came on a post titled “Conservatives Speak Out on Gay Marriage.” Now I disagree with the premise that we should legalize gay marriage on several grounds, and I politely shared my thoughts. There were soon alot of responses to my post. I tried to keep up, answering mainly those who had something worthwhile to say, however I couldn’t answer them all during my lunch. But it was a good discussion, and I felt like for the most part it went better than I had thought.
Then today I posted again in response to “Pew Poll: People Have Confidence In Obama, Not Republicans.” Again I had a good discussion with mainly one person who disagreed with me, and then finally gave up. Now I want to point out that I was quite civil in all of my exchanges. Though I was accused of much, you can read my comments (in PDF form or on the Daily Kos) and see for yourself. Btw, they are quite entertaining to read.
And this evening, I logged in again and found I was unable to post comments. I did some research and found out that I had been banned by what I believe is the Kos community. I do wonder though, as only one of my comments (to my knowledge) were hid, and I believe that is a big part of being banned. Either way, I’ve contacted the site to find out for sure and haven’t heard back yet.
So after 2 days of conservative thought, they couldn’t take it anymore. Maybe now they can sympathize with Mark Levin.
