It's all in the moderation. Trinityz1 did not ban anyone on the Simply Politics board even though he is an assistant. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/seeBans.aspx?boardid=444 And the poster mentioned here is not banned on that board. The PMs behind the scene are a different story and that is between them. On political boards it is obvious that moderators tend to be biased. Some more so than others as I have learned. In fairness to Trinityz1 he was at least nice enough to come over here and explain himself.
