“If this is true (and it could very well be) then KE is open to a lawsuit and her medical license taken away (again!)”
Did you mean to send this to #9174 gopheraj?
So, you feel oppressed
at the suggestion you talk
about ANS
in a thread about
ANS?! Those ain't jack-boots
they're fuzzy slippers!
Patient confidentiality?
Yeah, right! She has a personality just like HKS IMO.
Maybe they are waiting until the medical board does their thing. I hope so.
“””Yeah, right! She has a personality just like HKS IMO.”””
Caution:
Neither a law degree
or medical degree
are evidence
of sanity.

LOL, Probably... fingers faster than brain here.
The banning issue is based on something BIG with JR.
While each of us might disagree with who was banned and wasn’t banned (and I have my STRONG views on that), the larger issue driving JR is that he created this forum to serve as a Conservative force.
While he has tolerated much, the fact is an election is coming and JR sincerely believes Rudy is NO CONSERVATIVE. I realize Rudy is a mixed bag but he does present problems to the extent that JR doesn’t want to provide a gathering ground for that group in general who might strongly differ with his definition and brand of Conservatism.
Yes, Howlin was for Thompson (but deeply resented anyone defining Conservatism for her to her disadvantage here, which JR is free to do, and has done), so you see it isn’t as simple as banning all who are for Rudy. Some are still here who do support him but maybe they go about their views in an understated, inoffensive way.
Well summarized TXR
I have a problem with Home Pages stating that the account has been “banned or suspended” when in fact some people manipulated their own account closings with insults and baiting.
Many of the disgruntled FR members opted to join the Wideawake blog, started by MadIvan back in March. JR’s thread was a restatement of his conservative principles which exclude his support of Rudy as the GOP primary for POTUS candidate.
During the discussions, many FReepers became outraged and insulting - it was a full fledged Frebellion.
Sad part - the refugees are using the WA site to vent their anger and coming over here to recruit existing FR members away. Folks should join a forum for positive reasons, not as vengeance.

Good post. I agree.
Some are gone that I would wish were still here...for their specific contributions (not referring to money) to this site, and overlooking any imperfections. Certain strong qualities and characteristics that were GOOD for the forum. There are a whole bunch I wish were gone that as far as I know are still here.
That said, there are reasons for what happened that are rooted in JR’s ownership of this forum and his deeply held beliefs. And that’s about all that can be said, when you hone it down to its essence.
You can relax about DeWine, in terms of the life issue, he’s as pro life as you get. No matter what other issues some might have with him.
It’s pretty simple. JR, or anyone else that I know, isn’t trying to get into our voting booths and slam us for making the best decisions we can in an imperfect world.
It’s about FreeRepublic being JR’s forum, not ours, and about his deeply held beliefs that he created this forum to help promote and sustain. And within that framework, yet I’ve seen some pretty wide latitude given for debating issues and candidates.
That said, with the election coming and JR’s bedrock beliefs on the line, he’s not prepared to let the Rudy people - or others who don’t fit his reasons for his forum - to have such wide latitude and hold such sway.
Like I said, I might be for or against specific bannings, or be sorry or not to see people leave (some by their own choice). But I understand the bottom line, and I accept it. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense for me to be here on JR’s forum.

Further ideas for casting Dr Khrisvorkian ... I’ve given my thoughts earlier, but now I’m thinking Cloris Leachman or Sally Kellerman.
I do not want to discuss that on this thread. We all decided in the very first thread we didn’t want to drag political discussion over to the ANS thread.
Our local noon news just had Deborah Norville of Inside Edition on a live remote for a considerable amount of time, discussing an interview that will air this afternoon with Virgie.
It’s the one they’ve been touting for a while. Parts of it took place 2 weeks ago when she got to hold Dannielynn the first time. They evidently will show that.
In one clip of Virgie, she was asked about the “money-grubbing” accusations that have been thrown at her and she laughed and said she is not there for money - that she doesn’t have any and she isn’t making any.
Mostly, she just wants Dannielynn to know her “MeeMaw,” as VA’s other grandchildren call her. Norville went on to tell a few other things that will be covered on the show this afternoon, such as her thoughts on Larry and the “no love lost” between herself and HKS.
(IE comes on here at 3:30PM, which just less than 4 hours from now. I usually report any ANS coverage. It’s right after The Insider, that ET program, so sometimes I get mixed up about which program is which, lol - and on which one I saw something. At least I know today that VA will be on IE!)
I still don’t think KE had them or sold them, but that’s just my gut feeling.
