Well, it's been 4 years since I first found Free Republic. I have always felt like I belonged here and have really enjoyed the banter back and forth between us members. I am afraid all this is now over. I am really suprised and shocked at it's suddenness. Before I leave I want to thank a freeper from Michigan who sent me a DVD player last year to give to my kids for Christmas. You reaffirmed my faith in humanity.
I know this thread will be deleted before many people get to read it, but I just can't go without saying a final word. Every since 911 the 'vibe' here at FR has been decidedly hostile. I guess it was a matter of time before the newbie moderator got around to weeding me out for my sometimes unpopular views. So I join the ranks of A+Bert and so many others who gave FR a interesting flavor. I will miss coming here 20 times a day and keeping up on things. But without posting priviledges there is just no point. I must go find another conservative group to try to be a part of.
In the future, when a freeper who has been a loyal member since August 1998 crosses the line, how about a note instead of banning? Would that have been too much? I may have gotten out of line, how is beyond me, but if such a tresspass would have been pointed out I would gladly have refrained from doing so again. It is just not right to just ban an account with no explaination. Especially when the freeper has been here 4 years. I have no idea what I am going to do with my days now that I no longer have FR. Well, I guess I have said my part. It is a sad day when one has to leave family and friends. I feel like some of you were just that. But apparently I am no longer wanted around here. I bid my good day to you all and hope that karma pays it's respects to those who do injustice.
Sometimes, towards the end of long project meetings, the others on my team will start to repeat, "He was such a quiet guy...". Apparently they want the practice now, so it will sound more natural when they lie to the media about me later ;0)
Sounds like an interesting plan....
But, this particular case appears, IMHO, to be beyond hope.
The views of wasfree / Magnum Opus are ok for him to have because he is, not was, "free" to believe whatever he wants.
However, he is not free to put that garbage here. JimRob cleans out the garbage - with help from the Admin mods quite well.
Wonder what wasfree thinks of Margaret Thatcher??????
Clarence Thomas?????
Nevermind.....I already know. Sheesh. Thank you Admin Moderators!
Please don't ban me for saying this, but that's not necessarily always the case. Not that *I* have any experience in these matters, mind you.... ;)
Seems like this guy must have never heard of Margaret Thatcher or Golda Maheir (sp),doens't it? Never mind Joan of Arc or Queen Victoria. Dere's bin sum really tough ladies out there!
magnum opus DuJour, this link is for you. I didn't want to let you leave without offering you a parting gift.
Using this directory, I'm sure you will find many like-minded individuals with which you can commiserate and share your Aryan view of the world. Perhaps the purveyors of hate will offer you the company you seek and dissuade you from re-entering this forum under yet another Nom de Plume . . .
I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hampster, and your father smelled of elderberries . . .
Mind you, anal probes can be quite nasty! 8^)
Boy, those newbies....sheese...
Well,he could have sealed you in a small room and have you create gas! You got off easy.
However, Darth Sidious did report that sometimes he saw it, and sometimes he saw something like "you must be logged in to post". So there may be some sort of oddity with some sorts of browsers. But if so, a refresh or two does the trick, and it is only intermittent anyway.
Interesting. A lot of people think this way but don't verbalize their thoughts. This morning has been a good reminder.
Jim is the way to handle it.
And no, that wasn't a south-bashing thing, in case anyone as wondering :0)
