Recently I was banned from posting on the official Breitbart.com forums. I was given no warning. I was given no reason. I was offered no chance to appeal my banning. I am not alone, others have been banned as well.
It seems I was banned by an over zealous Breitbart.com moderator — a nameless, faceless and cowardly individual.
I reached out to Breitbart.com senior editors Alex Marlowe and Joel Pollack and received no reply.
Andrew Breitbart was a fearless cultural warrior. When he created his Breitbart.com website I found a sense of refuge there. In a sea of progressive groupthink, I found it to be a lone beacon of conservative and libertarian thought on the internet. Not only was a loyal reader of the site, but I was also an avid poster and debater on the site. Many of my threads received high ratings.
At all times, I conducted myself like a gentleman. I would never resort to insults or personal attacks. Suddenly years of my contributions as a poster were wiped away by the actions of one moderator.
Since the beginning of the Internet and even before, discussion forums have been subject to the whims of small-minded tin-pot tyrants posing as moderators. As a regular contributor to many MMORPG forums, I have seen the heavy hand of moderators at work. As anyone who frequents the official World of Warcraft forums and the official EverQuest forums knows, posts are routinely locked and outright deleted for no good reason.
For years I have supported Breitbart.com and provided a link to their site on this site. Breitbart.com has done stellar work in reporting on the radical progressives have been destroying our culture. It was them that found the courage to publish many of the original articles exposing how social justice warriors, the video game press and others conspired to attack gamers during the GamerGate controversy.
The tragic thing about Breitbart is that they go to great pains to expose the anti-free speech agenda of big tech companies such as Google, Apple, Twitter, PayPal and others. Yet they are engaging in the exact same type of despotic behavior that they accuse others of doing.
Part of the problem here is the gatekeeper syndrome at work. In conservative circles, there are various organizations and individuals that claim to speak for everyone. They believe their viewpoints are the purest and they attempt to marginalize anyone that hold viewpoints that differ from theirs. Some notable examples of conservative gatekeepers are Matt Schlapp who runs CPAC, Ben Shapiro, and Bill O’Reilly to name a few.
The moral of the story is that tyranny, censorship and injustice are not relegated to just one political ideology.
I’m going to keep this article open for comments. If anyone else has been unjustly banned by Breitbart.com, I invite you to post here and share your story.

Why did they ban you? Were you sperging on Trump? Even unfair people do things for reasons.
No reason was given. That’s the maddening thing.
Every time I get up to 6500 up votes, I get banned. This will be the third time. I don’t care about votes. I don’t know why they would either. Just seems like a pattern.
Hello Wolfshead:
I just got banned from Breitbart- just like you- no reason given. It’s not like I used any of the verboten language or anything like that. Did not post anything anti-semitic. Although I will admit my posts were needle-pointed and razor sharp. Expressed eloquently. Though at first it sort of bothered me, now I’m sort of considering it a point of pride. My thoughts/speech must be threatening to the whims of small-minded tin-pot tyrants posing as moderators.
Hi William, I agree with you. The tin pot moderators at Breitbart can do as they please with no consequences — posters are not given warnings nor can they appeal. It’s the very same kind of intolerance and tyranny that the left is okay with. It goes against ethics of the founder of the site, Andrew Breitbart.
I too see it as a badge of honor. When people try to shut you down or block you — they are in the company of dictators and tyrants and have lost the argument.
Below is a comment I responded to in Breitbart
When Trump wins Wray gets the axe and the real investigations begin. This is why they are pulling out all the stops and are willing to burn down the country in order to beat Trump. Every Dem under Obama will be exposed and it will be the end of their party and set back the NWO far worse than Brexit.
This is the war for the future of the planet and they will fight worse than dirty.
This is my rely:
I believe that is why Trump put Wray in charge. It freezes Wray in the spotlight so he can’t do any dirty work.
Rereading my post I don’t see any racial slurs, harsh language etc. Does anybody see a problem ?
How do I contact a Breitbart moderator ?
Breitbart moderators are slimy soy drinking cowards. There is no way to directly contact them and that is by design.
You’re best bet is to Tweet to Joel Pollack and Alex Marlow who run Breitbart.com. Chances are they will ignore you and eventually block you.
Breitbart constantly publishes articles about the evils of Big Tech censorship but does the same thing many of their readers. They are shameless hypocrites.
Another evil posting
Part of the OP’s post:
On a 400,000 home, the property taxes can be more than $5,000 a year…
My reply: (removed)
In Connecticut, depending on what town you live in taxes on a $400,000 house could be $7000 to $10,000 easy.
