They have tender sensibilities over at Ickes! They are busily banning anyone from the site who strays from the Menard party lie, sorry, line, in the "Rob Menard Arrested" discussion. First they banned felixk after this post;

Obviously your reading comprehension skills are shit or you are deliberately trying to put words into my mouth.Please point out where in my post I wrote that he was arrested on the day of the stop. For the second time I am having to correct you. I said that he was arrested. I did not say he was arrested on the day of the stop. I was not lying. Are you claiming he was not arrested? Please refrain from twisting other people's words. That is the exact behaviour I would expect from one of Menard's apologists. Last edited by felixk; 01-03-2015 at 01:05 AM.
Then 12345qwert got banned for something, no idea what. It's like being in the lines in 1918 and the Spanish flu has just started. Then the guy beside you in the trench suddenly sneezes. Who will survive? Edofquatloos is probably living on borrowed time but is currently tolerated because of his novelty value.
All a job well done as far as reverendjim is concerned;

Would those attributes that banned members share include not kissing the ass of the moderators but instead asking legitimate questions about posted claims? Like questioning winteral/Menard on his self-serving comments? By internet standards felixk was exquisitely polite but he called Menard out on his "Was he arrested on the day of the incident" nonsense so he was gone.
Ickes manages to keep all the posters on the same page by the selective pruning of dissent but it eludes me what point Davidicke.com serves if it is just a smug self-selected insider group congratulating each other. The motto a the top of every page is "exposing the dreamworld we believe to be real". Would that be the dreamworld the moderators try to maintain by banning anyone who attempts to question it?
Almost makes it worthwhile for me to sign up there so I can be banned. It's like that thrill of achievement that twenty lucky people felt in 1972 when they found that they were on Nixon's enemies list. Paul Newman said that it was the greatest achievement of his life. Although I wouldn't go that far about being kicked out of Ickes.
