that is admittedly subjective.

your options should have been spelled out in the message you got. you can appeal the removal, but be aware that might take a day or two and you will not hear back if the decision is no.

and Manchin tend to generate a lot of heat around here, and some others get a few posts here and there that aren't completely complementary. Bernie and AOC come to mind, too. Around primary time, it's like there's a Fickle Finger of Fate poised above the "Alert" button.

Piss the wrong person off at the wrong time and get just enough of like-minded members to catch your jury at the right time and your post is gone. You can appeal to management, but they tend to go with the jury. Not always, but it takes a lot for them to overturn a verdict.

I just look at it as a small side effect of the board and tend to avoid certain subjects.

All in good fun.
