skyofblue, you don't seem to know how the Civil Comments software works. It works by consensus. If you've been banned for 24 hours, you must have been flagged quite a few times. I'd review your language and tossing about words like 'witch-hunt' and "extreme leftist fringe" aren't likely to endear you to moderates. Islamophobia does exist. And you should also keep in mind that ranting and raving about pet peeves isn't acceptable if it isn't on topic. The theme at the moment is whether Tories aren't wasting their energies on a meaningless motion. It's not about Islamophobia, Muslim refugees, or Free Speech. Stay focused.
