Well, well, well. And yet another anti-Freeper site springs up:

We must be doing something right to have so many Bush haters hating us so much.

Well, we wish you luck. You'll have plenty of competition from FR haters.

Thanks.

Make him look like a coward? No way. Pesonally, I think it takes more courage to NOT dignify them with a response, IMHO...

[MatthewViti]

I may not agree with everything Bush does, but that doesn't mean I won't support him. He is my President :)

[Darling Lili]

Them? Who is them?

Someone who asks a question like that is automatically a "them?"

[TomServo]

Do you realize that makes you look like a coward?

You're Shi****g me - right?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Uh...I got a new car. (And I moved up.)

[dighton]

I like older chicks and BMWs . . .

Nice work if you can get it.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Not always... However, in this context, there is a "Them" and "They" hate FR for a myriad of reasons - and the sole purpose of asking the questions is to increase that hate - so why dignify "Them" with a response???

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

P.S. Still confused about the prosthetic thing. Do I have to ask LNM!?

[Senator Pardek]

Do I have to ask LNM!?

Unfortunately, yes.

[TomServo]

Don't wait for a response..;-)

[NeoCaveman]

Didn't you mean to say "all the really smart people who have left Free Republic because there's not any good writing or debating here anymore?" :-)

I would have replied sooner, but it took a while to sharpen my crayons.

[Senator Pardek]

Nice work if you can get it.

Quit working my side of the street, pal.

[LurkerNoMore!]

Hey now. No prosthetics here. And as far as I know, Pardek is prosthetic-free, too.

He certainly does seem to know an awful lot about fake butts, though.

[Chad Fairbanks]

I'm not... :0)

[Chad Fairbanks]

Hope this helps...

This sounded interesting and it seems you answered it!

Secret threads( from FRS)
Internal threads obtained by FRS show how moderators at Free Republic have drawn up a hit list of people they think should be banned.

As to the exact reasons why someone gets banned, well, I'd rather not go into that in public or even to third parties at all. Just suffice it to say, we usually take out the disruptors, the bigots, the racists, the abusers, the whiners, the trespassers, the anti-freepers, the malcontents, and or those who for whatever reason decide they want to work against our goals here on FR. I have no burning desire to supply a soapbox to those who are obviously trying to destroy me, my website or my liberty. Must be a flaw in my character.

I appreciate you position on this. I also feel sometimes many of us are NOT trying to violate. But when the table is turned to explained it may SEEM that way.

After years of abuse it seems one is trying to tell the other party it all depends "On Who's "Ox is Being Gored!"

Funny how those who are being abused get banned. And others get a slap on the wrist!

Don't mean to be disrepectful just my observation!

Many of us still see those FEW who are obsessed with posting distortions, and mocking with unkind remarks.

Now many of us have chosen not add fuel to the fire when others inspite continue to mock and jeer!

It would be a pleasure to have meaningful discussion with out the Disruptors, Bigots, Abusers, always tracking and attacking!

I was just looking over at that site - they are updating it with quotes from this thread - I ma LIVID that I didn't get a mention...

Man, what a gyp...
