My guess is that nobody was banned over a comment about My Pillow per se, but for refusing to adhere to a no politics mandate on the forum.
I dont know this person but a ban for attacking the my pillow guy seems harsh, if that is the case.
I see a lot of anti big government sentiment/taxation is theft vibes on this forum. There are also multiple members with thin blue line avatars. Is that not also politics?
The details have not been published or confirmed. Everything is conjecture.
IDK. The thread’s last post might have triggered something…
Screw pillows... When I am ready to leave the forum, I want to go down by slamming the guys who make comforters. Yeh... but till then I will have nothing to say about men who make comforters. I don't want to shoot my load before it is time. 
I got tired of all of the boorish virtue signaling and the politics. Oh, and The Purple Pillow is amazing.
I’m thinking that a particular persuasion is not tolerated based on personal experience. Of course this may get me in hot water.
Lord knows a lot of crap gets said with no action taken. It’s important to know what is and what is not acceptable and then just accept and go on….lol!

You said people in Northern Alabama talk funny. I’d canned your ass for that insult….????Screw pillows...

Of course it is. We have a no politics policy, though its enforcement has been a bit "porous" over the years. Brobs is a bit more forthright in his expression of his views.
Cosmic, is that even a thing? Are we talking premarital or post? If there's an acrimonious breakup do you have to give the pillow half your stuff?
You get a time out the first few times, and the time outs get longer and longer. I think this would be BROBS' 2nd or 3rd offense in the past year. One was for going after a brand new member for being from Singapore....I dunno, he was pissed about the way Asian cultures treat animals or something. I agree though that the forums are a little more "spicy" with him on here, although his posts can be grating. FWIW, I've had more than one PM conversation with him and bought a pipe from him as well, and he's a totally stand-up guy on an individual basis.

Screw pillows are quote useful for short legged men, or Ive been told.
I'm sorry to hear BROBS lost a good canine friend. Whether he's on another forums or not.
I agree but this was not his first offense.
I totally agree with this. There is too much passive-aggressive political commentary, particularly from the right, on this forum. A lot of it doesn't get policed, but I've found that whatever is reported is usually dealt with by our mods, who are excellent. If you see something that seems too political, report it to the mods. It won't usually result in a ban (as it shouldn't most of the time) but it will be taken down.
Also, IBTL!
The dude chews with his mouth open, farts a lot, blows his nose into his fingers, and spits on the floor. We just can't have that around here.
I did play "Take This Job and Shove It" on MP3 player walking out of my job on last day. Couldn't find my boom box..Screw pillows...

Wait, I thought all of those things were prerequisites to join?
