  4. That’s not at all what happened you. Broke the rules of decorum and were warned and continued to break the rules and then were removed. Try being honest.

  5. This guy needs to learn where to put the inflections in his speaking. What he needs to do is stop being hypocritical. It seems it’s only right when his side is doing what he claims the other side is doing 🙄…so don’t with all of this rediculous hypocrisy
