Something is awry in Elysium

Well, it was a fun ride and I made a LOT of great friends on Free Republic... including one who came to my wedding. But nothing lasts forever, and maybe in a way it's a *good* thing, 'cuz there's no convincing some people that no increase in power makes that power any more pure.

JimRob has drummed me out of Free Republic. Here's the reason he put on the screen that popped up on my end:

Your posting privilege has been revoked.

Reason: Democrat

Now, I'm not a Democrat. Haven't been one since 1994 when I changed to Republican, and haven't changed that (yet).

I can't speak authoritatively on medved's ban. I was not posting at the time, and only found out several days after the fact. Much as you cannot determine my intent WRT free expression, likewise I am not privy to PatrickHenry's desires and motivations.

I will note three observations before abandoning the medved train of thought: First, JimRob, not PH, banned medved. Second, while every individual has the right to freely express his ideas, it is incumbent upon no one to provide the forum for that expression. And third, if medved wants to start a bulletin board system on his own website, there is nothing to stop him.
