“FFS, he isn’t banned. If it is upsetting just delete his Freepmail. There’s no ‘collusion”, he reads your posts and the thread.”

Of course HG isn’t banned ( Quite contrary to popular belief! ).
Of course he reads the threads. ( Anyone can. Banned or not. )
Of course he has FReepmail exchanges at will. ( Wait, what?! Who knew? )
Because he can.
(The next time I get timed out, I want to be able to FReepmail, too!)
Yet no one except me has come forward and told people that this was happening.
Too intimidated? Nothing to see here? He only PMs me? Something else?
Your certainty that there is no collusion, stems from what?
There’s no reason why there couldn’t be.
And no, for once HG’s PM wasn’t upsetting. My first reaction was to laugh out
loud at how sad and over the top mean it was, my second was pity for his
miserable state, followed by a short prayer.
Then it finally occurred to me to wonder who else he sends stuff to, and of what
nature, and if he is staying in close touch with his various friends here...
(I think he needs help.)
~Easy
Gumble and I have been professional-at-arms-length all along.
To me, he (and Larry Lucido) has done yeoman’s work on the Main keeping the grifter-blogs in check.
He purposely ignored the grifter-blogs that populate FRQ, tho.
Told me that stupidity can’t helped [not a direct quote].
That collusion isn't necessary for what is going on. If you are calling collusion, it is up to you to provide a rationale for it and explain why collusion is necessary to your plight. Simplest explanation is that he knows he owns you, can see what you post, what is on the thread and knows how to work you. He just needs you (psyched out) and him. Because you post on it instead of ignoring it, you empower him. If anyone is 'colluding' with him it is you.
This is a real “banned” page:
https://freerepublic.com/~humblegunner/
So, I have a question: how can someone with a real “banned” page still freepmail.
Opens up the possibility of trolls trolling via freepmail.
Not. Good.
That. Right there. That was the point of your odd but REAL experience.
For some reason posting of it, and possibly since it was you, it becomes your fault for even discussing such an anomaly.
I never do get that part of “friendly” interaction becoming a norm.
Of course HG isn’t banned ( Quite contrary to popular belief! ).

once again:
He is not banned.
He set up his about page to say that.
