We are debating weather to expand the boycott to include bobo after his latest purposeful race baiting exercise:

From Hubble and MRFred 2/28/10

The latest effort at coordinated trolling by KenTX and his side kick Bobo1 demonstrates why we boycott KenTX. It is summarized in the note to Hubble by a former TYT member

    "I have purposely avoided responding to or engaging ken or bobo in any of their various antics or guises. I don't find it to be at all constructive. Sadly, I've also been participating in the forums less and less because a tone of civility and intelligent exchange seems to be completely optional. It's one thing to say, "I disagree" and explain why, it's also junior high to throw in "asshat."  I don't see myself engaging in much of anything in the forums any longer, and I do think that is sad. Thank you for your efforts and I wish them well."

We will soon consider if we should add bobo1 to the boycott because of his purposeful use of race baiting to , in his words " irritate liberals.

If you think we should boycott bobo 1 as well please respond to MrFred or Hubble in the affirmative."

I personally think bobo demonstrates the worst of conservative "values" and makes a useful display the depravity associated with the far right fringe.

Please know when we announced the boycott the first response was how we were restricting the freedom of speech, we were censoring KenTX / Hugh Everett or attempting to establish a web based version of the fairness doctrine.

Freedom of speech does not guarantee an audience nor, as our conservative friends often point out, a platform. We are graciously provided a platform by TYT, they can also take it away if they choose. After that, it's up to the TYT member.

More often than not, the solution proposed by KenTX / Hugh Everett to complaints about Fox and "conservative" pundits is to simply not read the offensive material, turn the channel or close your ears.

Very true, we agree. The lack of comments on KenTX / Hugh Everett blogs proves our point. Other things you should know are:
   

* If you choose to engage KenTX \ Huge Everett in" debate" that is, of course, your privilege.

 

* We are making no attempt ban "conservatives", KenTX \ Huge Everett from TYT. First KenTX \ Huge Everett is  not a real conservatives on. Second people are banned from TYT for poor behavior, not politics.
   

*We engage users who honestly represent their views and are truly representative of the conservative point of view, unsavory or otherwise honestly.
   

*KenTX / Hugh Everett now demands an audience and threatens to disrupt any attempt to provide tools and choices to users to tailor their TYT experience to meet their needs. This will be done through the use of sock puppets and surrogates. He has switched back to his alias of KenTX and has used at least 5 sock puppets to date to circumvent the boycott.

Don't be fooled.

Freedom of choice is a simple concept. One that cuts both ways with impunity. That fact infuriates so called "conservatives":
    * We choose not to play the game any longer.

    * We choose not to dignify the bait and switch tactics, personal attacks and insults employed by KenTX / Hugh Everett in his blogs.
    * We choose not to participate in enabling KenTX / Hugh Everett personality issues, "personal information" red herrings and attempts to influence the debate with superfluous personal information.
    * We choose not to listen to claim of bribes through (fictitious) "donations" to TYT , exaggerated claims of "insider" influence over the TYT programming staff and duplicitous offers of personal favors and friendship.
