I recently lost my trusted user status because of Toby Keith.
Many here probably don't prefer him, hell I don't like most of his stuff, but he's alright... Anyway some diary (
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/6/11/161751/193) got a comment from a self described republican that said people should listen to Toby Keith. That was all he said. For whatever hypersensative reasoning the guy was super troll rated in excess... My comment was that he shouldn't be troll rated (and I gave him a 4 to balance out the stupidity of previous raters) because Toby Keith is a Democrat. sure sure he may seem to play the war drum, but it's not like he sang that "Have you Forgotten" BS linking 9-11 and Iraq... Here's what Toby had to say.
But as far as Willie's deal with John Kerry goes, people don't know that I'm a registered Democrat. I'm very conservative, to say, the least, but I'm a registered Democrat, and my family has been all along. I have to go from election to election and pick the guy I believe in -- and vote in my own manner. I vote for the guy who gets the job done. (

Anyway the point of my post is that some of ya'll are ridiculous with the ratings. as far as I'm concerned super troll ratings especially are for offensive and insulting comments, not stupid comments. and nothing I said was anywhere close to deserving of a super troll rating... I was a trusted user for a year until this crap. relax people.
