I've Been Banned

I occasionally read Jordan Bassior
jordan179's LiveJournal. I say "occasionally" because I rarely agree with what he says. Even more rarely, I'll comment on his posts, usually when I think he's gotten his facts wrong.
Well, I now have been informed that I've been banned from commenting on his site. The hell of it is, I was banned because of what somebody else said of Jordan! What is this, junior high school?
Since I've been asked to leave the Cool Kids' Table, I shall. And no, Jordan, you don't get to sit at my table, or comment on my posts.

Me, I'm an “anti-Semite, (http://baron-waste.livejournal.com/1750721.html)” you see. Just ask him, he'll tell you. That and a nickel, will get you a cup of coffee…
I've learned to simply ignore posts like that one, and I did. They're just noise, and a group of hominids joining in on rocks, thumped in careful unison. It doesn't matter at all.
- Except as evidence that it is not merely leftists who, as I have observed, maintain their LJs as unstained gardens of ideological purity, where the deviant, the heterodox, is banned as a warning to others, who thump their rocks all the harder lest they be suspected of thoughtcrime… Every LJ I've seen thus, has been an ardent anti-capitalist, collectivist, and usually a militant feminist
All, that is, but this one.
But, y' know, that's freedom too; it is his LJ, to run as he pleases. There are millions of others.
