Parting words from “I.M.” (Wednesday Open thread)
Thought ya’ll would enjoy this email from “I.M.”, who was banned earlier today (emphasis his):
Sister Soldjah:
I bear absolutely no malice or acrimony over your decision to ban me from your Blog. That is your right and I respect your decision.
Unfortunately, I must tell you in all sincerity that I am concerned on your behalf because you have exhibited an ultra-sensitivity to any criticism whatsoever, even when offered in good humor; a rigidity of personality that causes you to want to control every word and every thought of what appears to be the cult of personality following you; and a mania for perfection, which manifests itself in your protecting your image at all costs, all of which indicates you may (I am not a psychiatrist or psychologist and I am not offering a diagnosis) be suffering from a some form of mental/emotional disorder. I hope you will carefully think about it and ask a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist if any of my comments on the last thread ever, in any manner attacked anyone’s personality as you suggested; or if my humorous criticisms (That is what they were, humorous responses to your talking down to people like they are little children compared to you) would cause such an over reaction by any normal person in healthy control of their mental faculties. I offer this in your best interest, not because I want to be unkind, judgmental or hyper-critical.
I should tell you two more things: 1. I can get back on your blog and post there anytime I want, it is incredibly easy and I could cost you a great deal of aggravation in your trying to determine if the new person is me or not. But, don’t worry, I absolutely won’t! 2. I could start my own Blog and use it as a means to verbally attack you and thereby undermine your efforts (as starting a Blog is so easy – anyone can do it); but your apparent gross intolerance of any dissenting views, even humorous criticism and your desire to control every word of everyone posting on your Blog, I believe, are causing enough problems for the conservative movement and I don’t choose to add any more ammunition to the Left.
I promise I won’t bother you any further, in any shape, manner or form than this one Email and I most sincerely wish you every success.
Sayonara!
Some emails make me wanna scream. Some make me want to cry. This one just made me want to laugh 
Update: BTW, consider this today’s open thread.

Wow…I think IM was looking in a mirror when he came up with that little personality analysis.
Just another looney lefty!!!
So, his acting like an idjit is symptomatic of your mental illness? Sounds like a Democrat to me!
Is there a “B” side to the album, Sis?
I love how every lib troll is automatically qualified to diagnose our “mental” problems. I think the word is “projection”, and they do it rather well….or, at least, they think they do. =D
I haven’t been here for about a week, but outside of his personality disorders, I thought I.M. was a righty on most subjects. Did I miss something?
I think he was/is a loony rightie.
What a hilarious letter! Translation: You’re crazy because you won’t let me act like a jackass on your blog. Waah.
GM, when the comments veer too far afield, and the Moderator says, “Enough on that,” then we all usually behave and head back to the main point of the post. I.M. just had to try to get another comment in.
I agree that he seemed to be “on” about a lot. But rules is rules! And that’s where the problem arose.
‘Sides, Bang is sacred around here. *heheheheeee!*
*snort giggle*
Heheheee!
What a maroon! What an im bess il.
What part of “Remember, you don’t have First Amendment rights on any blog, other than your own.” doesn’t IM understand?
Those have to be among the shallowest threats I’ve ever seen to… I “could” hack in but I won’t… I could start my own blog and verbally attack you…
Don’t libel laws still apply in a situation like that?
Isn’t it still a crime to gain unauthorized access to a computer system?
Stick to your guns Sister Toldjah (did you notice he called you Sister Soldjah?).
I.P. Freely has been banned. I’m totally cool with that. I will not be here anymore, as politics has become a depressing subject ever since diebold cheated the republicans at the ballot box. J/K about diebold. Not sure how the republicans lost so bad, but they did. I’ll see you guys back here a few months before the next major election. Good tidings to all, and to all a good night.
- Aaawwwww…. He really really liked me…. *snort*…. aside from that I’ll refrain from any comments, since he was always better at describing himself too an absolute “T”, than any of us ever could.
- Bang
I am with Bang, but there is probably no surprise to that. – Lorica
Bang, Lorica, I’m in your camp.
G, We need people like you to buckle down and do more persuading than ever. Go out and spread the word…. Don’t GIVE UP. Time is wasting!
I guess I’ll be the bad guy. As a lurker here, I watched the comments by IM and failed to see anything really bad. I will confess myself surprised when ST banned him. C’est LaVie. Have a good night everyone.
Trust me, Chris, I wouldn’t ban anyone without good reason – I.M. would pitch a fit with his fellow conservatives who did not agree with him. If he could have kept his cool, he’d still be here, but anytime I asked him to calm down, he’d continually question my abilities as a blog host and say similar things to what he did in the email I posted. When he was calm, he was fine, but when he was out of control most of the time, and it got to be too much. He is the first conservative I have ever banned from this blog in the three years I’ve been blogging.
And to think… it was almost me that was the first…..
I do not wish to discuss the banned person, but I do wish to say to conservatives here that it is of UTMOST importance that we try to view what we write from the reader’s perspective sometimes.
We need to be persuasivce. This election tells that to us. I’m not saying I’m perfect. By far. But I’m trying to work towards presenting facts in a non-threatening way and appealing to a leftists “caring” nature that I know is there. Trust me as I once was a liberal and I know it is through misinformation that they form their opinions and hearing an alternate viewpoint goes a long way to making their head cock and think to themselves that there may be another way of looking at things….
leaf on the other thread finally saw that was he has repeated (no plan) was untrue. It may go along way towards him not repeating other misinformation that he hears from his sources…
Cordialness is king. Think of it as being in ST’s living room. This is her baby. Every family should be open to hearing criticism from family members and ST has heard differences of opinion. It is when people get ugly in her house and she asks them to stop and they don’t listen when she takes the action of keeping this blog a friendly place to chat.
Thank you ST for your patience with us and here’s to another year of persuading and presenting alternate information!! **glasses clinking** glug glug.
Sister, your mileage may vary, but I’ve gotten 43% more fun out of blogging since I went to absolute comment moderation, no exceptions. I recommend it strongly.
Hmm . . . so it’s no soup for I.M. He appears to have a grandiose personality, neh?
I love the part where he says: “I could start my own Blog and use it as a means to verbally attack you and thereby undermine your efforts.” (Visions of the Blogosphere’s version of Bull O’Riledup vs. Keith Ubermensch come to mind.)
It never ceases to amaze me that people, like this Poor Disenfranchised I.M. character, really believe with all their heart that either I care about what they specifically have to say or that they have some God-given right to be heard.
If the Gentle Sister Toldjah went to all the trouble to ban this character I would bet it has something to do with the fact that she doesn’t want to hear what he/she has to say. Therefore for them to write “one more missive” simply gives Sister Toldjah more reason to ban them.
One of the basic rights we have in the US is the right to say what’s on your mind without fear of being shot. But that doesn’t translate to any right to anyone listening to what you have to say.
Bottom Line: Sister Toldjah told IM to shut up and go away, and yet they persist one more time with their inane blathering.
“I must tell you in all sincerity …”? No, there is absolutely nothing you must do.
“… I am concerned on your behalf”? So what? Who cares about your concerns?
“… a rigidity of personality …” Why is it a concern to you if Sister Toldjah either has or doesn’t have a rigid personality?
“… all of which indicates you may be suffering …” Hey IM, I just ate at Taco Bell and I’ve got gas – are you concerned about my suffering too?
“I offer this in your best interest …” Who cares what you’re offering? Don’t you get it – no one wants what you’re offering. Just go away please, period.
“I should tell you two more things.” Again, no, you shouldn’t tell Sister Toldjah anything. She told you to go away, so do it. Why are you still here? What is it about your character that you feel you have to stay where you’re not wanted and make thinly veiled threats?
What a loser.
ST has a cult? Excellent, how do I join?
Well, I suppose I’m already a member in spirit, but how do I achieve official standing? Please send me ASAP a membership application, plus information on whatever rituals and rites apply. Also let me know what modifications, if any, I must make to my ST shrine (oops, forgot about that restraining order again, damn it!).
LOL Steve! I’m cool with that, as long as that shrine doesn’t contain a voodoo doll of me ….
I take it the thread in question was removed also? I would have like to check it out. Seems I recall the warning, but couldn’t find it. Oh well.
I got banned from a blog once for gloating over the Alito confirmation. It was an awful feeling being on the outside looking in, unable to participate, face pressed against the virtual window. But it was a liberal blog and I was over it later that day. I have since been allowed to rejoin the debate and continue the battle as best I can.
But to be banned from ST’s site, that I could not bear.
