It’s sounding like a central block committee meeting around here. The liberal conservative purge was one thing, trying to tar just people because they’re registered at different websites is another.

That’s closer to helpful - at least you stated what your issue is - banning people for something they said on another web site.

I’m not sure what a “central block committee” meeting is.

I disagree with your premise, btw, if I say something on a Freep related board, I would expect that people who know me from the various boards might react wherever they read it, assuming its worthy of note.

I’m reading another thread where somebody is posting from The Nation - its an article blaming Yeltson for free market policies. We’re discussing whether or not it matters who wrote the article and where it was published. I think the principle is consistent - we have free speech but others listen to that speech and take it into consideration when evaluating our input.

I met a PHD Biologist last week and said I was very impressed with something she wrote 10 years ago. She was very surprised to find I had read anything by her and that I found it in 5 minutes on the web.

Its not just a Freep thing - its a fact of life thing that you get credit or blame for what you say online.
