Has this ever happened to you?

On the 3rd I received this in my mail.

Your posting privilege has been suspended until 2003-02-04 23:30:49

Reason:
You've been suspended one day for a racist reply.

Since then I have used the Private Reply, the Report Abuse, thread posting (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/838084/posts?page=88#88) and email in an attempt to find out just what I am being accused of posting without a SINGLE RESPONSE from any Admin Moderator, nor Jim or John.

How do I apoligize to the offended person if I can't figure out what I am supposed to have said? I haven't been able to locate any replies I have posted that have been withdrawn.Was there an error and I was suspended when it wasn't my Reply?

Does anyone know just how we are supposed to go about contacting the person in charge of suspensions to determine if we can get a quote?

ping again

I would appreciate a reply from you or an Admin Moderator to answer my question. I imagine other members have the same question.

This is a whining, useless use of a thread. So what if it happened to you? What if in fact it was totally unfair? This is a busy site and the admins have their hands full and it was just a suspension.

I say stop posting vanity threads about it and move on.

If I'm every unfairly suspended, I won't whine publicly about it. That's my promise to the Freeper community.

Sheesh -- you'd think we were fighting each other, not the Democrats.

Sure, you have the right to complain when you're a victim. But you don't HAVE to FEEL like a victim, even if you are. You can move on.

That's my recommendation.

Certainly you have looked at your comments from the 3rd and examined them for racism right? One must have been pulled.

If I did in fact make a racist reply I would like to apoogize to the offended person. You figure out who I am supposed to apoligize to and I will make a private and public apology.

I believe the standard response is that they are simply too busy to reply to everyone they ban/suspend.

In most cases their bannings/suspensions are arbitrary and capricious. One long-time poster got banned because he said he wasn't going to vote for Liddy Dole.

Yes, you can go on some Quixotic search to find out who complained so you can "apologize," but I bet that person and all of Free Republic would prefer if you didn't bother.

I'm sure we'd prefer if you didn't post a vanity thread about your problem, which truly is a very little one compared to what our boys may face in Iraq.

How about being constructive and worrying about our vets, rather than yourself? Seems to me you're much more worried about the injustice to yourself that anyone who was offended, anyway.

Look, I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I think it's good advice for you to let it go. It would be better for you.

Go to the Canteen and send an email to the troops. You'll feel better.

I remember you saying something about some black Angus being a "Stupid Cow".

I reported you to the proper authorities and I would do it again.

What a thing to say! Why are you a member here if that's the way you feel the site is run?

Yup, that looks like a good use of the abuse button to me.

Thanks for doing it.

Wish it was possible to hit abuse for someone being self-indulgently whiney.

Well, it's a fellow conservative, we're supposed to help him along. So I'm typing in this silly vanity post over and over: GET OVER IT, GO OVER TO THE CANTEEN AND SUPPORT OUR BOYS WHO ARE GOING TO WAR. It's very unclear whether any of these thoughts are penetrating his skull. Here's to hoping.

LOL -- I'm from Vermont and I well know that in fact, just like for people, it's not a function of color. (ALL cows are stupid!)

I am SO NOT HOLDING MY BREATH re that supposed apology. Set your watch for 30 seconds, at which point you'll find a denial of any culpability and a request that you acknowledge the poster's perfect innocence.

No, not really interested. I assume from the question that you might be a vet. All the easier it will be for you, then, to put this in perspective and move on to the important, common issues that unite you.

I know I've been forceful in my posts. But like, 2 days from now maybe, you'll realize that I've also been help to you. Posting this vanity thread was probably not a good idea.

Good day.

This was my earlier post on the Canteen

> Dear Fellow Patriotic Americans:

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm Flight 103,

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993,

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon,

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military Barracks in Saudi Arabia,

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa,

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE,

REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11/01,

REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on the Pentagon on 9/11/01...

REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks.

Now the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the MUSLIM with a commemorative first class postage stamp.

I strongly urge you to REMEMBER to adamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp when purchasing your stamps at the post office. To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.

I also strongly urge you to pass this along to every Patriotic American you know, whether by email or otherwise.

Email this to everyone in your address books ASAP
