Why was a founding member of the FreeRepublic LLC 501(c) board banned by a modmin/admin who is no more than a volunteer sitting at home on a ego trip?
How many thousands of archive pages were just fractured due to this foolishness?
Not only should a full explanation be given to the public, the admin who approved this measure needs to be publicly named, and publicly defend the position.
THis is the most abject failure of the modmin system that John Robinson devised in the history of FR since the rebuild in 1999.
If the admin powered individual was anyone other than current or former formal members of the LLC, the admin must be removed from the admin level and any admins who want to defend that admin should also make themselves publicly known and defend their position.
This banning is an indictment on the failure of the admins of this website. That is putting it politely.
if you are lost in the woods in the rain, and need to build a fire, a bag of Fritos makes amazingly good kindling.
The oil in the Fritos burns for ages, enough to dry out some sticks and get the fire going.
Yes! A good thread like this desrves an opus! I feel cheated.
Your Cat-tholic theology is incorrect.
That is Long Cat and Tac Gnol, not the false gods Ceiling Cat and Basement Cat.
hahahah
Free Illbay..
If I may propose a quick explanation of Jim Robinson’s post (#15)...
Here is your ass, let me hand it to you.
Must have lost something in translation.....
Bobj was banned? Wow.
I can’t imagine what in the world he could have done. Been a while since I saw him around actually.
The Free Republic Network is a 501(c)(4) non profit corporation managed by a Board of Directors. It is separate from the Free Republic Forum, which is owned and operated by Free Republic, LLC, a privately held California corporation.
BobJ was not on that Board with you?
Do you eat it straight from the bag? Don’t forget the cheese.
Did he get reinstated and re-banned?
Please be more specific, especially if you are trying to win people over to your side.
Ash?
True? Good to know if true
>> I give up. Why were they banned?
You can pick up the trail here and decide for yourself.

Thanks for clearing that up. What happened to him ?, he use to be a pretty upstanding member.
I feel more like I do now, than I did when I got here.
Thanks for the clarification, Jim. I presume that he was only suspended, for now....
I saw this thread pulled, then restored — probably a good thing, albeit not deserving of “breaking news”.
Agreed. Fritos make for excellent fire starter.
