Disappointing. really unhappy that he has been barred, The least should be an explanation why all of a sudden his posts are unacceptable. So much for differing points of view and facts eh? Very, very poor form.

Why now? The thread has been running for years and we’ve had mods actively contributing to it without any problems. Indeed mods have banned posters from the thread for infringements to keep the thread on track. Surely they’d have raised problems with Byker had he overstepped long before now as he’s done no different today as he’s done for years beforehand.

And why, according to PH own rules has the thread not been deleted?

Something is wrong in the State of Denmark…

i don't know I'm not a mod. The insinuation being that it is a mods personal vendetta, which TBH i find hard to believe. i also think all voices should be allowed to speak over who every shouts the loudest in a thread, which I've noticed seems to happen, not just Byker btw.

[Stigproducts]

He pretty much talked to himself in the Donald Trump thread for 4 years at all hours of the day, posting conspiracy theory and "fact" after fact, many of which have subsequently turned out to be a load of old pony. If he had been doing that about Biden of some less despised politician he wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes. Zero credibility as far as I am concerned and the rate of posting was extraordinary- if ever there was a case for suspecting a "Russian bot" it was him.

Here is an example from PH around 2018

Byker - "OMG you guys!!! Did you hear about what Trump said. OMG! and then this other person who hates Trump and doesn't like that he is president said that there is evidence of Trump doing something wrong and within a few days he is going to get arrested and go to jail. LOL; watch this space, you mark my words"

Some time later in the Daily Mail "Stuff people said about Trump turns out to not be true"

PH contributor - "Hey Byker, what you said is not true apparently"

Byker - just ignores them


Certainly some of the things he posted had some merit, but people who dominate and can't act objectively? I think PH is better off without them.

I'd love to see you post a link to the said post.

The funny thing is, Byker posted links to articles from respected news services and gets banned, yet this sort of thing can get posted and thats ok..

Well, with 20someting law suits now running against the ex-pres. , I guess he actually DID something wrong and unlawful,
but was protected by his status of POTUS, mills of law grinding slowly but steadily.
Over the last 5-6 years, ever since Trump entered the race for candidate,
Byker has found and shared a lot of information that I found quite reliable.........and shocking.
I hope that the PH thread ban will be reversed.

looking at the thread again, he just posted with very long excerpts, anti trump stuff 10-20 times a day. Is that really a balanced thread?

The thing is if you ever disagreed with it, you would be labelled a racist and hounded of the thread. It was just an Echo chamber thread, and again suprised it was still going.

From you, presumably...?

It really was you, wasn't it.

You're as obsessed with him as he was with Trump.

[anonymous-user]

Y'all do realise it's a Saturday night, in summer, after a year of not being able to go out and enjoy the world...and you're arguing with the owners of a site about the interpretation of rules they write and manage

Maybe open the front door lads and passes theres a whole world outside the internet

I've never reported anyone. i not obsessed i haven't been on that thread for a long time was suprised he was still posting hence my post. Not everything is binary on here, which is the general feeling now, you either hate something or love it, nothing inbetween.

Same as with the covid threads in NP&E, just an echo chamber of conspiracy theories

Hard to know where to start with this. So many inaccuracies, waffle and outright lies.

I've seen it with my own eyes. Let's be clear as well I'm not a Trump supporter before the boys step in, but all threads should discuss all points, not just someone posted 20 links a day like a robo news automaton.
As stated other threads end up the same, core crew take over, no new input allowed. A thread should always be more than constant news stories

And yet, for all the "Seen it with my own eyes" whataboutism there's a distinct lack of evidence. Quelle schock.

Utter hypocrisy from those that say "we want a free discussion without fear of the woke cancellers".

What I've seen multiple posters hounded off the thread for expressing a mild agreement with trump, that isn't a whataboutism that is reality, it just ended up as a massive circle jerk thread hating everything Trump did, that was a fact and reality, nothing to do with woke etc.

There is no debate it is just constant how much we hate trump if you don't agree then you are a racist etc, ad nauseam.

You have posted, on average, once every 4 hours for the past 14 years, but complain about some else posting too much. Cool.
