I order you to stay!!!
Those of use who have been around here a long time have read the opus' (opie?, LOL!), seen the schisms, but in the end FR still stands as the most informative, timely, and fun - Woo-Hoo - conservative site on the web. And, at this time of trouble for our country we don't need to be splitting or losing FRiends again.
Many of us have had post pulled for one reason or another. Some pulls might have been unwarranted and I agree with you that it would be courteous for the Mods to at least FReepmail a reason for the pull. That might not be possible though, and could lead to a time consuming - for the Mods - exchange.
IIRC I've had threads pulled. One was one of the first posts, if not THE first post, of the Red State/Blue State map that was in USA today. I think somewhere in the remarks I questioned if the map was defining the boundaries for the next US civil war. Of course since then the map has been posted and similar remarks made. Sooo, big deal. I didn't take offense, in fact I view it more as I was ahead of the curve, LOL. I think JR was the one who pulled the thread, and I believe I did get a note explaining the action.
Another time I posted a thread about the reflectors on the backs of highway signs being a code for terrorists. It was supposed to be humor but the Mods didn't see it that way so it was pulled. After re-reading the article I could understand how someone might not understand that it was humor.
Bottom line in both cases was so what. The posts didn't mean much to me. I could let it go easily. It's kinda like when people criticize my radio work or admittedly really poor guitar playing. The way I see it if they don't like it it's their loss. After over 25 years in radio if someone is in my studio and thinks they can do a better job on the air I sit 'em down at the board and say "go for it." It's funny watching them freeze or fail.
So step back a couple of days, lurk awhile, visit other sites then gird yourself for the next round and come back into the fray.
We need each and everyone of us, especially experienced posters.

Smoochy MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

You have always been helpful to those of us needing guidance.. I recall a few weeks you spent hours helping me re:Finest/Dose postings & working out some techie things.
I know this junk is frustrating
Same thing happened to me two days ago: thread pulled no explanation. Had three comments and then it was gone, quite annoying.
There was one reply from some fool who made a negative comment about the article while writing that he hadn’t read it and may have made a complaint to the mod.
An explanation of some sort from the mods would be helpful.
Forget all this! Cheer yourself up by visiting www.sarahpac.com today!
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.
Geeze...if it was that “9/11 was a Bush/Cheney conspiracy” crap of *course* you have to expect it to be deleted.
Cow you still around? You’re about to hit 200. Than this thread will self implode.
FR has gone down hill over the past year or so. It seems to have attracted a group of lower intellect and hyper emotional type poster. These people also tend to be quite paranoid.
Take a few weeks off - think it over - then come back...
Aw, c’mon. Stick around. It’s just a message board - an important message board, but still just a message board.
Relax. :)
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

I had heard these charges second hand so it was interesting to get them from the horse’s mouth. What is odd to him, proving conspiracy is all weak speculation from a man who has found a home with hard core communists, his greatest fans.
For example: He claims it was odd that Fema was dispactched after the first plane hit? Why was it odd? Because Fema did not go into New Orleans for days even though they saw the hurricane coming...says he.
New Orleans was flooded and Fema was staged outside of New Orleans before the hurricane hit. The Gov. and the Mayor were wackadoos failing to evacuate then blocking Fed. efforts to conduct rescue for fear of Bush gaining a leg up politically in the mess they caused. Fema does not go into a hurrican area, set up and wait as this idiot asserts. This is simply leftist anti-Bush slogans, devoid of analysis of facts on the ground wrapped up in “odd” proclaimations by a Leftist. It is not odd at all that Fema would dispatch to NY upon seeing a plane crash into the World Trade Center.
Words...just words.
Communists are the best disinfo experts on the planet.
Yeah, I had my account locked once for posting something asking questions about that.
I know what you’re talking about.
I was gonna say something like, “Hang around, it will be okay.” Then I saw what crap has apparently been integral to the the evolution of your views on 9-1-1.
For my part, you won’t be missed. I wish you will, but at the same time I wish you absolute failure in your attempts to spread your bullsh!t around.
