Citibank Cancels Bank Account of Objectionable Blogger

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the there's-gotta-be-more-to-this dept.

Keith found this story about Citibank blocking a website's bank account after deciding that the site's blog contained questionable content. I guess it's up to a bank to decide whom to do business with, but this is pretty crazy.

    Yep, the bank may be a big evil corp, but the blogger has way more experience fucking someone in the ass.

    Poorly chosen battle, CB.

    His attitude is no skin off my nose, I have a lot of sympathy and I completely understand this kind of misplaced anger.

    I will say this for the last time; you are creating Flamebait and you are Trolling and you are getting up-moderated for this, which is disappointing. My observation of your illogic has nothing to do with my sexuality nor with your sexuality. For some reason you can't seem to be able to admit that you created FUD about a site and a person you know nothing about, and then you made up FUD about ME and my "motivations" (and you don't even know me). When I see something illogical or just plain stupid I point it out. Others here have gone to more detail pointing out your very obviously bogus and ludicrous idea about a bank canceling an account because a Web site has no contact information. I don't care if it is about homosexuals, bisexuals, banks or operating systems. You are the one who is obviously angry, and you are projecting it unto me. Get over yourself "spun" and stop living up to your nick. Trying to make my observations of your poor argumentation into some type of a gay psychological problem that I supposedly have is a poor defense.

    "His attitude...", you sound like some of my teachers when I was a kid. They kept on talking about my "attitude" and to this day I have know idea what they were talking about, and to this day I still think of them as being stupid.

    Too bad. Someone's well laid plan of garnering free publicity was derailed. On this one site. Boo hoo. Again, what's your financial connection to fabulis.com?
