      I don't mind taking my liberalism to other forums and sharing good progressism with those desperately in need.

      I recall one user who ended up quitting Hubpages after being banned for an innocuous offense and he seemed to be pretty far left (or at least, more to the left than I am).
      
      The moderators may be left-leaning but I haven't experienced the sort of censorship you allude to. Honestly, in light of your recent post I'd be more worried about Twitter, YouTube etc.

         Twitter , so far,  has been tolerant of a lot of offensive language that I see every day.

      I don't think so  , just coming off about a 120 day ban here I can say that these forums are shadowed by liberal moderators who bend to liberal cause . There are far more liberals here allowed a wider spread of so "offending "others ,than conservatives. One more outlet of liberal propaganda that when debates are divisive they then block conservative opinions. I am here merely for a time at the mercy of someone who will be "offended" by conservative opines.  Hubpages, like Face-Book , like Twitter and all liberal media shadow bans , " Free speech" is only free as long as the overall liberal agenda isn't threatened by opposing view .
      
      And I do not care who this offends.

               I would certainly agree that different tactics can each be less than civil and I have seen posts from those with leftist views, which seem ban worthy, passing the inexplicable hub pages litmus test for banning. But, I still stand by my assessment. You can be over the top, at times, and at those moments I wouldn't fault the moderators a ban.
               
               So, yes. They do appear to give left opinions more leeway. However, if you break the rules you don't really have a right to complain on the outcome.
               
               A120 day ban indicates more than one ban. Ever hear the definition of insanity?

       Really Kathryn , That should tell you something in itself , because the left's venomous  hatred of all things towards the conservative side of debates is more than obvious including many who are never banned.  The fact that there are less writers here than before says much about hubpages .  I like the forums  wherever and yet when shadow banning happens it only hurts the site itself , whoever that site is , look at the precious Face book dying a rather fast death as we speak . But ,why don't you explain how I or others drive writers away from here and not the policies of Hubpages themselves?

       Kathryn,  The alt-liberals will hi-jack the political  conversations and attempt to control the  numbers of us by hate-banning because they have to  gain  votes, as they have to allow illegals drivers licences to vote, they did it with the woman's vote , the African American vote , the young academic vote , the organised labor vote  .  I fail to see how anyone cannot see that  liberals play the identity politics game  for votes.
