The so-called “Reality-Based Community” over at The Daily Kos is going through a massive purging of the many members who wouldn’t know reality if it came up and bit them on their head-containing asses.

I made a mass banning of people perpetuating a series of bizarre, off-the-wall, unsupported and frankly embarassing conspiracy theories.

I have a high tolerance level for material I deem appropriate for this site, but one thing I REFUSE to allow is bullshit conspiracy theories. You know the ones — Bush and Blair conspired to bomb London in order to take the heat off their respective political problems.

Daily Kos: The conspiracists

Aw shucks… I rather enjoyed the little giggle I’d have when someone would recite the “Reality-Based Community” epitaph while posting a link to one of the raving lunatics over there.

The administrator (Markos “Screw Them” Zuniga) is facing some backlash over the purging. Maybe he should have just posted a note saying that Karl Rove hacked into his site and deleted the accounts of everyone who knew too much. At least they’d believe that.
