StyleForum at it again.

<RANT>Yet another round of left-bashing from the right-wing goon squad at StyleForum.net.

This time around they're banning users who admit to being gay, and users who make the mistake of criticizing Fox News.

It's a private forum and I suppose they have every right to bash whomever they choose. What sucks is that it's a men's fashion board, with a separate catch-all group for political discussions. Users are given no warning where the moderators' political bent is, until it's too late.

What I wouldn't give to see hundreds or thousands of DUers make their lives a living hell. Sons of bitches.</RANT>

1. StyleForum is full of Brooks Brothers wearing asstards...

...who wouldn't know modern fashion if it beat them around the head with a cravat. I'm not at all surprised that they're also Republicans.

4. Ha! Great site!

I was a bit dismayed that there was not a cravat to be found in the Neckwear shop, but found a couple of snazzy ones in Vintage. Do you have the sock suspenders? Tell the truth.

5. Moscow Idaho??

Looks like my friends aren't the first ones who've been targeted by StyleForum.

Wow.

6. A "men's fashion board" bans users for being gay?

Must be Jeff Gannon Republicans.

7. It's more an "I spend a lot of money on clothes" board than a fashion board.

And yes, there are actually straight men out there who care about the way they dress.

8. In retrospect, I see what a logical leap I made.

Just because some homophobic men spend their time online talking to other men about what makes them look good and the benefits of right-wing politics... well, that doesn't mean anything at all. :p
