This has really gotten out of hand. I was simply making a little joke
that apparently misfired. You were banning me from your thread
because the cartoons in this thread are permitted to be only
anti-Trump, and a couple of times I posted something like this:



And you said (paraphrasing): "No, no, no, that's not anti-Trump, so that's
not allowed here."

Which is the kind of thing that Antifa does, demanding that free
speech must be killed, and the only speech that should be allowed is
the stuff they agree with. And so I called you "Antifa Eric" as a
joke, because you're blocking free speech like Antifa does. I wasn't
being serious because I don't really think you're a member of Antifa
(though I don't know). I was just making a little joke that misfired.

If I had known that you would take it seriously as an accusation that
you were really in Antifa, and that it would result in all this
crosstalk, then I wouldn't have said it. Actually, I should realize
that I should never make that kind of joke with people on the left,
since Trump Derangement Syndrome kicks in and you retaliate and start
calling other people random names like "teabagger" or "white
supremacist" or anything in Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables
-- racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name
it."

So I apologize for making the joke, and I aver that I wasn't being
serious, and I'll try to resist doing it again.
