Good-bye.
A few months ago, I posted some information on bank financial strength. The post was a complex table and it took me sometime to make the post. Not long after, I forget but perhaps 10 or 20 minutes, the post disappeared. Figuring I made a mistake, I posted it again. This time I was pretty sure I posted it correctly. It disappeared within a few minutes. To verify that this was what was happening, I posted a third time. It again disappeared immediately.
I never received any feedback from FreeRepublic on this matter.
It annoyed me, but since I have always trusted FR, and since I have so far as I know maintained a sterling reputation here as a well behaved citizen for the eight or ten years I've been here, I shook my head in confusion and forgot that incident.
Just tonight I posted a more controversial post involving 9/11. It disappeared within minutes (after I had verified that the post succeeded).
Again, no notice public or private, before or after the fact. Just poof.
Good-bye.
I will cancel future monthly FR donations and leave. I cannot support a political discussion and news site which makes seriously intended posts by long standing contributors of good standing just disappear without notice, public or private, before or after.
The SanityIsland.us site, with some Daily Dose images, will remain around likely for one year, then go away without further notice. I may be reached via email at pj@usa.net (yes, I have excellent spam filters.)
Sites have a right to do as they please, but also a responsibility to stand up for the actions they take, at least involving participants acting in good faith. FR apparently is failing to honor this responsibility.
I would ask that in the future removals of posts made in good faith by members in good standing at least be recognized in private messages to the poster after the fact, stating the approximate cause for removal. Even a 'boilerplate' explanation would be better than nothing.
I wish this fine community and the good people here well. This nation is in dire need of honest reporting and discussion.
Welcome.
And their "evidence" consists of things like observations of structural anomalies of large steel buildings and aircraft made by literature/philosophy majors/videographers who are fighting extradition for killing their wives.
On another (unrelated) thread, someone made a great comment that seems to pertain..
At what point does wishful thinking become a self-serving lie?

ROTFLMAO
That being said, I think you should stay. We've got to stick together and present a strong united front against socialism and tyranny.
An honest discussion about the events and conspiracy theories regarding 9/11 would be interesting, but I'm not sure how much good it would do. People are still arguing about the Kennedy assasination after more than 45 years.
That explains it... not just a truther, but an atheist one.
Pick your poison but don’t slam the freeperworld with both, please. It’s more than we weak-stomached ones can handle.
You are so close to 200 post count.
Hope you changed your mind and decided to continue playing in the reindeer games.
Dude! Its not an OPUS unless you GO AWAY.
I’m with you. He should just stfu and go away already.
Geeze...if it was that “9/11 was a Bush/Cheney conspiracy” crap of *course* you have to expect it to be deleted.
The "explanation" to this thread: as if....
So close, and yet....
This thread is about to Michael Jackson itself.
He was a muslim, so I am sure he had something to say.
Ya!
Something stupid. But still....
Besides don't cha think that if there was one iota of proof that the current administration would go after this with both barrels blazing? This would secure BO's place in history....
ala Occam's Razor...the simplest explanation is probably the most accurate...
some people have too much time on their hands....
Oooh.... BUMP?
Bumpity-bump.
Cow you still around? You’re about to hit 200. Than this thread will self implode.
