Perhaps you mean "blocked" as in nobody

 
I mean "Blocked from posting." I mean "Not allowed to post."
 
This happened. Get over it. Move on.

 
 
You first.

disinformation.

 
Lol!  Idiots were saying things like "unprecedented," in describing
the supposed warming the media told them they were seeing. Which is
retarded, because SEVERE climate changes have occurred overnight.
 
Literally overnight. Super volcanic eruptions have darken the skies,
world wide, sparking a Volcanic Winter.
 
Google it.
 
We're not even as warm as the last warm period! It's colder right
now, not warmer, during the Holocene than the last interglacial...
 
So there was a lot of disinformation being repeated, and I was
responding to it and I was blocked.

 
 
"not allowed to post" suggests some one, as opposed to some thing,
prevented you from posting.  Too bad your own cited link shows nothing
and nobody blocking you from T.O.:

OTOH your cited zombie thread from 2011 does show posters responding
to your disinformation.  Not sure if you will ever get tired of
proving yourself wrong.

I imagine DIG is behind this, long overdue.  I don't know why we're
seeing his posts at all.  Maybe some extra torture for a special case.
 
 

All I see from this piece of shit is abusive narcissism. Obviously can’t
communicate with others in a humble and humane manner. Ignore it, though
DIG should step in and end him.

 
 
As history has showed time and again, and current events continue to
prove, ignoring willful stupidity is a dangerous thing.  That's how
Trump won.  Even otherwise intelligent people believe his lies when
they are said often enough.

 
Yah. The alt-right became the mainstream right in part because they knew
how to use social media to multiply their influence and give themselves
a disproportionate appearance of numbers and power.
 

JTEM uses tumblr (seriously?) and infests this group. Insignificant knuckle
dragger.

 
Most folks who WEREN'T internet nazis enabled them by failing to
recognize their tactics and the intended impact. For example, "Just
ignore the trolls" is effective when the trolls are only seeking
attention, but it doesn't work when trolls are attempting to disrupt a
space, shift the political center of that space, or normalize toxic
ideas. "Ignore the trolls" is a big chunk of how open racism and
eliminationist policies became acceptable again.
 
The internet creationism phenomenon was, in many ways, a prototype for
the alt-right. In 1999 I wondered if maybe we all took internet nutbars
too seriously; 25 years later, I know we didn't take them seriously enough.
 

I seriously doubt the fate of the so-called free world has hinged on
whether we’ve engaged some local (or loco) bozo troll JTEM’s screeds on
some inconsequential newsgroup. Not really a case to be made under Kant’s
"act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will
that it should become a universal law."
 
Steve Bannon he’s not.

 
Oh yeah, he's insignificant. But it does make me think of the broader
problem of giving kooks, goons, fools, and tools too much floor space
online.
 

That’s largely outside your control. How much time do you want to waste on
them or how much space inside your head will you allow them to squat in?
Those considerations are in your control.
