More power to you. If you like it read it. I don't like it and I don't want it on FR.

Does this explanation also cover your reasons for banning content and articles from American Patrol?

So, you "don't like" VDare and American Patrol and won't allow their content. But you do allow Salon.com, Democrats Underground, Washington Post, NPR, etc, etc (pure anti-American, socialist drivel). So can we assume that you "like" them more?

I know this is your sandbox, but such arbitrary and hubris-driven policies only serve to detract from FreeRepublic and sow mistrust of its owner. If you have further reasons for banning VDare and AP content, you certainly have not made your case despite repeated requests from several users. After 4 weeks of debate about such websites as VDare and American Patrol, all we have from you so far is that you "don't like it".

No one is going to mistake the posting of some moderate-left sites as advocacy for the positions that those sites espouse.

If you post racist drivel from American Patrol and VDARE on FR, it WILL be construed as advocacy for those same positions.

FWIW, there are leftist sites like AntiWar.com that are ALSO not allowed on FR.

...you certainly have not made your case...

Who says that they have to "make their case"? Why are you so arrogant as to believe that you are owed an "explanation" by private owners of a private website as to why YOUR opinions are not shared?

You have a mighty high opinion of yourself--which is evidenced by your tendency to post pointless vanity posts on this subject. Most pointless vanity authors think theirs is the most important opinion on FR.

I was not aware that American Patrol (another excellent site) is also banned here. What other sites/columnists are subject to JimBob's blackout? Is Ann Coulter still allowed? What about George Will?
