Sorry, Citizen1, I made a proposal that you can take or leave. It's true the "thumbs down" feature has turned into a thumb war over who likes whom more than a valid system to determine whether posts are approriate of not. It usually events itself out. In your case, for example, the ones who DON'T like anything you post (i.e., the old StraightTalkers) will almost certainly give your video a thumbs down whether they like it or not, while thse who DO like you (the anti-moderation set) will probably give it a thumbs up. Those like Wyatt, who are in both categories, will just have to decided what they hate most and go from there.
By the way, I do recognize that Dave Chappelle's stuff winds up on television - cable and premium channels, though, and seldom on network television. Consider Anderson Talkzone to be network television. Go over to Hankey's place for cable stuff and pay-per-view features. (Well, if they'll let you.)
Now, do Honkeydonkey's question about Prevail.
Prevail was one of that "Original Foul 4" Hankey likes to brag about being a part of. Nick originally suspended their accounts, then offered to let them come back if they would behave. Zn declined. Hankey, RINO and Prevail returned to the fold. RINO was later removed again for menacing and threatening other forum members, along with using multiple screen names to hide posts of those he personally doesn't like.
Hankey and Prevail remain and, to my knowledge, have received no further formal warnings from the moderators. Most of what they post is nothing more than political opinion from the right - just as Citizen1, G-papadopolis and others post political opinion from the left. It is just that - political opinion - which is not against anybody's rules unless it gets into any of the -isms like racism, sexism, anti-semitism - or the -otics, such as idiotic (although being an idiot is not a disqualifying factor for participation in this blog, as those who think they know JDTippett will attest.)
If they cross that line beyond political opinion or forum rules, the moderators will deal with them. Otherwise, just don't read their stuff if you don't like it.

Sorry JD, you have a short memory. Please read below:
"It is with some reluctance that the administrator of this forum, with the concurrence of a majority of the panel of moderators has deleted the following three screen names from the membership list:
Bic
the-puppet-master
Republikin
All three logged on within the past 48 hours specifically for the purposes of attacking both moderation and individual moderators of this forum. The posts that led to these actions can be found on the threads OBAMA'S TROUBLING INTERNET FUNDRAISING, Moderators, and Can Obama B.S. His Way To The Top.
Any attempts by those three - or any other members - to launch personal attacks against ANY member of this forum will result in the deletion of additional screen names if necessary. All three may appeal this action by asking a current member to notify the moderation panel, or by using one of their other screen names to send a private message. They were deleted with the concurrence of three of four moderators; they can be restored by the same. Do not attempt to appeal on the forum itself.
Two other screen names that will still be posting here have been warned about actions detrimental to the civility of this forum: Mr. Hankey and Citizen1. A third screen name, voice-of-reason, is hereby warned that further efforts to undermine moderation on Anderson Talkzone will result in ....."
You can't recall anything can you.
1. Your post I inserted above shows YOU banned Bic, republikin, and Puppet Master. They are unable to post. There was no warning to them before you exercised you NEW powers.
2. You warned Hankey at the same time, along with citizen1 and me.
3. You banned them simply because the made "personal attacks on you and pappy"
4. They were not given the chance to say sorry like pappy did in his RACIST charge. You and pappy think it is ok for him to get no warning on over the line posts, but everyone else lives under your threat of being banned.
So stick that in you high and might pipe and smoke it.
BTW.......isn't Ginsing good for memory? You need it.
Your double standards make me sick.
