And you know what Michelle Obama smells like? You've ever been within 100 feet of her? Jeff Steele, IMO, is a hypocritical fuck motivated by money
Just read this post
http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/655327.page#11224466.
He doesn't what his site turned into FFXU and comments about what Michelle Obama smells like are political trolling and in his estimation will lower traffic, and thus ad revenue, to his site. Your post, aside from being garbage, is just the type of thing that he believes will affect his money. And that's, evidently, more important to him than allowing trolls shit all over his forum.
BTW, I just realized that no links to DCUM will work from this site so I'll just quote the post. That unto itself should show just how much he doesn't want his forum associted with FFXU.

This site spreads hate against Republicans and conservatives. I will never buy or click on anything advertised here, and I will send the hateful rhetoric to the advertisers, so they know the content that is sponsored.
A true moderator keeps discourse civil. At least in the political discussion, anything flies if it's hateful and vile against republicans. Sad because this had so much potential with lots of good minds of democrat posters who offered a lot of knowledge without being derailed. I think most democrats are good people.
Either add more moderators or set better expectations for posting civilly.
I think you need to put your money where your mouth is. Contacting advertisers is a great step. As is, removing your clicks, which give the site its revenue and advertising dollars. As is, not responding to threads and creating new threads, which keeps the site new and exciting. You can see, over the past few years, the somewhat drastic decrease in traffic on DCUM. You are not the only one who has noticed. The difference is, the other posters moved on, to other wonderful forums which have clear cut commenting rules that do not seem to be ruled by a political bias. As the saying goes, when someone shows you who they are, believe them. You have only yourself to blame.

You are wrong about a decrease in traffic. Traffic rates have almost always shown a gradual increase. Advertising revenues, however, are way up. We have been seeing approximately 50% revenue growth year over year for several years. What those of you who are constantly getting blocked or having your posts removed don't seem to understand is that you and your posts don't attract users. To the contrary, you drive users away. Most of our users are not interested in your fake news or paranoid conspiracy theories. Very few users are interested in coming to DCUM to read the Clinton death list or complaints that Obama has taken a vacation. We sat through 8 years of you guys complaining about Obama golfing and then you voted for a guy who spends more time at golf courses then he does governing (which, oddly enough, is actually a good thing).
Worst of all, you guys can't stop yourselves from turning every single thread into an attack on Obama or Clinton. A thread can be started on any topic and within three or four posts, someone will be complaining about Obama or Clinton. Then, when I remove those posts, you whine like stuck pigs. Too bad, get used to it. If you don't like the forum, I am happy to have you go away. Your presence is a net loss to me.
There are some reasonable conservatives here. They are very welcome. They -- unlike those of you that I block -- add to this forum and contribute a great deal. If I were them, I would be tired of being caught between the liberals and the insane right. They will probably be as happy to see you go as I would be.
