hoping this is some kind of system error -- and that they are not targeting its non-pc posters

Was once a daily reader of ZH but in the past year the "comments" devolved into mostly retarded banter unrelated to the Subject of an article. Unz Review (http://www.unz.com/) is much better...

i know jacksh-t about puters. reading this message above, can i assume that somebody/something is using my IP address? i only tried the log in once today -

if so, there's nothing in that account for them to get...so the purpose was to get me locked out?

ZH is doing some upgrade that has caused some problems. The up/down vote is not working either, but is supposed to be restored.

What’s with the new “improved” website where I have to change my password EVERY TIME I log in?

I thought the calling out of tribe members became normal in the comment section in the past year. You didn't see that three years ago.

And if unrelated banter was outlawed, this board wouldn't exist.

Agree, it's almost like ZH had an awakening. The comments section is one of my favorites.

it's impressive - the awakening of the posters over last 5 years. from a handful of wise to many

hence the skype push to censor the net and classify what they dont want known as hate speech

Probably an error. I believe you said you have Comcrap Xshitiny, so you have a quasi-dedicated IP (doesn't change often, generally only when you reset the modem). I see this kind of thing when using popular VPNs (pooled IPs shared by those who connect to that VPN server).
