First, let me say: Thank you so much for all the love I’ve received on Buttercup, on Jezebel, and everywhere else from you guys. It makes me feel loved and warm and simply wonderful. Having said that, here’s what went down….
I was banned from Jez yesterday. However, I was given due warning and it was MY choice to go. Apparently the powers that be there were overwhelmed with emails complaining about my rash, abrasive, oftentimes confrontational tone when it comes to the political posts.
Because of the large amount of complaints they receive about me, I was okay with the banning. I don’t want to be why sweet, sensitive Obama-loving girls are too scared to post. Boohoo. I scare them. Come armed with facts and argue properly and I will refrain from calling you a fool! Come armed with nothing but Hillary Hate and Clinton Derangement Syndrome and I will call you a name. I cannot suffer fools or ignorance or political arguments based on rumor, lies and Obama Talking Points.
In any case, I shall continue to rail against bullshit, nonsense, and the myopic interpretation of this primary campaign (and soon to follow General Election!) by the media, bloggers, and pundits.
I will miss teh Jez. And especially my girl Moe (even though she’s wrong). But I will not miss the completely ridiculous coverage of the Greatest Candidate we’ve seen that happens to be a woman from a “women’s” site. Ugh.
In other news, John Edwards no longer cares about Universal Healthcare. Asshole.

good riddance to them, Jez doesn’t deserve you to be generating pageviews and working for free for them anyway. I suggest you redirect that energy into more “quality time” with your unbelievably hot husband

Viva La Fucking Dykes!!

SinisterRouge, I’ll miss your pro-HRC comments on Jezebel but hope you’ll keep the fight going on this blog.
I read this great opinion piece in the Washington Post that discusses the ridiculous amounts of sexist crap (that no one wants to acknowledge) flung around during this campaign. I think you may like it: “Misogyny I won’t Miss” by Marie Cocco Washington Post

You fought the good fight, SR. Jez has changed so much, they apparently cannot take well argued political positions anymore.
I don’t even recognize any commenter names anymore.

Time to re-name Crappy Hour.
Obama-lickin’ Hour?
Saint Barryestival?
Barack loveinorgy?

@jezlurker: Thanks so much for that link. I had not seen that. SO SAD. :(
May 15, 2008 at 11:00 am
@katastic: Pathetic. Can you even TRY and have another viewpoint? It’s SO Bushian.
May 15, 2008 at 11:20 am
See, in my opinion, used car salesmen make the hottest husbands. But what do I know? I didn’t marry him for his career, so I’m obviously “outgroup” on this one.
May 15, 2008 at 11:22 am
Well, I want to marry a girl/tomboy, so I guess this doesn’t really apply to me.
May 15, 2008 at 11:23 am
Will you get to work on Chinese Democracy now, please? For fuck’s sake. We’ve been waiting forever.
May 15, 2008 at 11:23 am

May 15, 2008 at 11:26 am

May 15, 2008 at 11:26 am
@Hortense: those are the monster avatars. yesterday cate3710 wanted to know what they looked like so I switched them over for the day. ain’t they ugly?
May 15, 2008 at 11:33 am
To echo hortense–you know the rest of your band, aka Velvet Revolver, are in need of a lead singer. Get on it!
May 15, 2008 at 11:34 am
Mine looks like a potato that should be arrested for indecent exposure.
May 15, 2008 at 11:36 am
I like them better than the little patterns.
May 15, 2008 at 11:36 am
@ Hortense: Give that potato my number. ROWR!
May 15, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Kadinsky: I regret asking about the monsters now. I was hoping for something more muppet-like, to be honest.
May 15, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Dude, I can totally read this. But I can’t get Jezebel.
Eh, whatevs. This is better anyway.
May 15, 2008 at 12:10 pm
I just wanted to post here to see what scary endowed avatar I would get.
Hi, Sin!
May 15, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Lady Skittlehattington your crotch appears to be on fire. That just can’t be comfortable. May I suggest some creme or salve be in order.

P.S. SinRoo, you really should have been billing them for your services.
May 15, 2008 at 2:43 pm
SR- i am gonna miss you telling people to grow a sack.
btw how do u upload an avatar? i am not the most computer savvy tamale of the bunch.
May 15, 2008 at 5:49 pm
First they came for SinnRoo and no one said anything because they were not SinnRoo.
Then they came for the rest of the good commenters and no one said anything because they were not a good commenter.
Then they came for what was left and said, “Meh, why bother?”
May 15, 2008 at 5:50 pm
I love that my avatar is clearly saying, “Nanny nanny boo boo Stick your head in doo doo.”
This is my mantra.
May 16, 2008 at 11:59 am
Sinister Rouge,
I’ve been quite appalled by Jezebel’s lack of support for HRC, and baffled by all he girl on girl hate that seems to be perfectly fine when directed at HRC. I really don’t understand the hatred toward her at all, other than straight up misogyny. I guess the white hipster vote is more important than the woman power vote to Jezebel. We don’t know each other, but I do want to wish you good luck. I’ve enjoyed your unabashed support womanhood.
May 16, 2008 at 4:26 pm
My Dearest Sinister Rouge
I am obviously well behind in catching up, but I couldn’t fathom why Jezebel would ban you. You were the one good part of ready Crappy Hour, and you know what, I’m proud of you that you told them to fuck off and go ahead and ban you. I stopped reading Crappy Hour a while ago when it became an Obama wet dream playground. I’m glad I trailed you to this website (which incidentally is where literally all of my favorite commenters from Jezebel seem to have gone)
So I hope to read you posting here often
mucha cariña,
HL

@HoneyLush
ugh READING, READING Crappy Hour. 5 hours of sleep=can not edit
May 16, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I lurked for several months on Jezebel, and always enjoyed SinRoo’s staunch support of HRC. I always felt bad that I did not comment in support of SinRoo/HRC. Then I started going to Tennessee Guerilla Women, Taylor Marsh and No Quarter and they squeezed out Jez lurking time. So, when I visited on a whim today to see what Jez and SinRoo had to say about NARAL’s endorsement, I couldn’t find SinRoo and thought, Something is seriously WRONG here! WHERE’S SINISTER ROUGE??? So glad to find my fave commenters, and I plan to be a regular. At Jez, not so much.
Hillary 08!!!
May 16, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Dearest Sin,
First off, yours in HRC will miss your wisdom and viewpoint on Jez.
I am in complete and utter shock and cannot understand this “ban”!!!!!!! WTF!!!!
Adore you Sin,
Kaki
May 19, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Sin, I am glad that I can still find you somewhere on the internets. I never read Crappy Hour and it had nothing to do with you and everything to do with some of the other commenters. I’m an Obama supporter, BUT I listen to and learn from other opinions. I would never bitch and whine and get someone banned.
May 19, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Welcome, Librarietta!!!
May 19, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Well fuck me, see what I miss when the bf is in town. This is sad, just sad. Sinster you were one of the first I followed and friended and though I am not as outspoken as the rest of you I am not happy.
May 20, 2008 at 7:05 am
Come back. We’re running a 2:1 jaywords:regularwords ratio over at Jez.
May 22, 2008 at 6:37 pm
They are going crazy with banning commenters that disagree with editors, rather than for stupidity or plain old offensive behavior. I know you know this, and it’s a huge jez boner-killer for me. But I was banned, too, so what do I know! You are sorely missed Roo. Please write more anger-management articles! That was lovely.
Cheers!
April 8, 2010 at 7:17 pm
Old post, but…Jezebel apparently has a habit of banning users that don’t agree with the editors opinions or have ideas for improving Jezebel. When Jezzies are publicly called out for a certain type of behaviour (contradicting, racist, etc) they will ban that user for no apparent reason. There can be starred commenters that can bully others into their western views, but they would never get banned because they agree with the editors. Yeah, it’s not very hard to get banned from Jezebel.

Dissent will not be tolerated!
March 21, 2018 at 4:39 pm
People have become way too intolerant and easily offended. Total Babies. And, the society has degenerated because of this reality. If you cannot argue or tolerate someone else`s opinion, then, You are Weak. Only Weak, Intolerant and Easily offended ( something they are hiding) ban people! I welcome people to argue with me; call me names … And, I really enjoy the death threats; because I am strong and can take it! I do not go home and cry to mommy! The mentality of these wanna-be intellectuals ( board censor freaks) is laughable! They Censor you when they lose. Online news comments sections are nothing but glee-clubs for fools. This is sad, because the internet was meant to have free communication; but the Fools have managed to censor everyone with the exception of themselves. Hence, their psychology or rather pathology is obvious.
