My experience is not like yours. I don’t recall Mia T, Howlin, or Travis Mcgee cheerleading for homos. Maybe we read different threads.

Of those three, the only one I ever crossed swords with was Howlin. And my many "discussions" with her convinced me that she was, in fact, a liberal pretending to be a conservative. I've come to recognize the MO over the years--they always support the president--even when he's dead wrong on something--but never the key conservative issues. Especially on social issues, they're always on the wrong side and use the exact same terminology to attack social conservatives as the left does.

And yes, there were many among the departed who were big-time homo-promo types and baby-killer-huggers.

It is very hard to defend yourself when you can’t answer.Also since you are talking about them you could ping them.

LOL!
I thought I was the only one on her “list” of those who must be baited and banned.
Howlin’s gone?
Good!
Having watched several mass “FReepercides”, I wouldn’t have termed any of them “purges”.
Jim, and the moderators, usually give a “warning” if anyone momentarily “forgets” the rules and goals prominently posted on this site’s homepage, during heated threads.
But I have never observed Jim Robinson ignore any individual FReeper’s actual posted request/dare that they be banned.
ROTFLMAO!

You and I are on the same page on this. I tired of her trolling thread after thread. After her role in the so-called "Rathergate" affair, I feared that she had achieved "untouchable" status around here and would never go away. I am pleased to have been wrong.

But I suspect that she'll be back somehow. I'll keep an eye out for someone throwing the "dimbulb" insult around and notify management immediately. :)
