I LOVE your rant. Your rant is the reason I like coming here. . . .and the reason why it feels so freaking gross to be banned. On this site, I’ve talked about transgender rights, racism, feminism, my own sexual assault, and laughed out loud at others’ comments. I’ve learned so much from the commenters and felt…

It makes no sense. . . .Both Misandry and I got banned after the comments below. . . .And it really is like, “because we don’t agree with you, you’re gone.” It’s disgusting.

I agree. And this is where I go to like, seriously, be around feminists who are funny and knowledgeable and teach me shit and make me laugh. That’s what makes it feel so crappy. . . .for me, at least.

All I did was criticize an author—same author has banned me for criticisms before, concerning her Amy Pascal “article”. . . . .

Seriously, like, nothing. I insinuated at several points that Vargas-Cooper was unethical and not a great journalist. I got banned before for saying the same on a different article of hers. She will ban people for anything: http://clashtalk.kinja.com/i-got-booted-t…

You’re not being obnoxious! I’m posting this under a new account :)

Forever banned. . . . kinja lets us think we can comment, but our comments never show up.

also. . . . It would be better if they had just deleted our comments. . . but banning us altogether? I just don’t understand.

I completely agree. I have been banned before for completely respectfully disagreeing with an author. And it is so silencing. This is where I come to talk about social justice and I have learned so much here, from my fellow commenters. And it’s the only forum where I have ever felt empowered to speak about my own…

Me too. . . .I was wondering today how many people were actually banned.

NO! Don’t go! We like you. :)

yes . . . . so many of us got banned. . . .

Can we talk about how many of us were banned for expressing our opinions re: the Gawker piece and *certain* authors’ stance on this issue? But I’m afraid our new accounts will just be banned again. Which sucks. We weren’t calling anyone bitches or sluts or ugly. Nor were we posting abusive images. We were just…

I got banned as well. . . .it’s my second time (the last time I was also critical of an author). . . .it sucks and is super disappointing. I wouldn’t even both with the new profile if I wouldn’t miss the commenters so much :/
