Political drama on a knitting/crochet site. Ravelry bans ...

[KnotaDinghy]

Agree to disagree.

They took a position after 2.5 years of the administration being in the WH and seeing the actions taken, not based on a "side" or a political party. If that was the case it would have happened at inauguration - not years later. They made it clear it was about his support of racist remarks and actions.

It is a privately held company and they can set the user agreement as they choose.

Agree to disagree.
I was a member until they took a position in January 2017 - not 2.5 years into the administration. They flooded the site with p**sy Hats. Now the ban chatter and patterns about the sitting President. Patterns. They banned patterns.

But you can still go help yourself to as many p**sy hat patterns as you could ever want.

They are private but clearly biased.

This is what you do when you know you can't win on facts. Silence the opposition.

Or when you bend to the will of The Google.

They need to ban ALL political postings, not just one side. Oh wait. That's now how it works in the mind of Democrat.

I agree.
There doesnt have to be political talk at all.
And I am a Democrat.
Not all democrats think alike.

There are a bunch of Democrats who don't like what is happening in their party right now.

Im not objecting to the Democratic Party at all.
I object to seeing comments that generalize about all democrats.
In other words, in this case of the knitters and political talk , not all of us think alike.

All conservative chatter is being shut down, all over the place. Liberal chatter and Trump bashing is acceptable.

Now, who are are Nazis?

I applaud them for standing up to the hatred, indecency, and bigotry Trump supports. Here is an appalling man who has bragged about grabbing women by the crotch and one of those ladies on the sight cannot understand why she got a notice about it when she said she admired the creep.

Her opinion is different than yours....so you believe she should have been shut down? Because she's an American who supports her president? You realize you sound just like a NAZI right?

[BionicBunny]

It’s a knitting group. Why is there political talk? If supporting Trump is to be banned then why not ban all political talk? Makes no sense.
That’s fine though. I think things like this push people in the opposite direction than intended. It’s been said before and this is another example, it will likely backfire and help get Trump re-elected. We will see. It sure will be interest either way.

And that’s what gives liberals a bad name.

Free speech is about government control over what can be said, not private groups deciding what is acceptable banter within the group...

I have a friend who was part of this community. She 'rage quit' when all this went down.
