"I didn't see a character assasination being offered by Badjoe at all."

He made some really egregious charges as to Jim's honesty and integrity, that to me went WAY over the line.

I myself wish that posts wouldn't get banned for being "controversial" or adversarial. Many's a time I click on a thread for later reading and come back to see the words "this thread has been pulled, reason; enough already" or sumpin' like that, and I would have much preferred that the post had been kept intact.

I also wish that bannings of individual posts and posters wouldn't happen with such alacrity. Dissent doesn't always mean disruption. I'm a life-long Republican but most of my friends are conservatives who have left the GOP because they think it's becoming the DemoLite Party.

I disagree with them, but I don't find their disagreements with President Bush, Karl Rove or Dr. Frist to be disruption, as I also don't find Conservatives/Libertarians here, for the most part, to be disruptors.

That doesn't reflect any ill regards towards JimRob, not at all...Free Republic is my favorite website and I prolly spend two hours a day reading it. In fact, I no longer scan the news domains, as Freepers are becoming the fastest way to get news anywhere on the web.

I thank God for JimRob and FreeRepublic. In fact, if the web goes all-subscription someday, Freep will be the only site that I'll subscribe to. The only reason I don't subscribe now is I just cannot afford it at this point in time.

I always liked BadJoe's posts in the past, and he has some points about the moderators and moderating process that I agree with, but when he attacked JimRob's character, integrity and honsety, he totally blew it in my mind, and showed me that he was speaking out of a seed of bitterness, and not because he truly cares about Freep and JimRob.

Happens to the best of 'em.

He got the short end of a power-play stick, and lashed out.

Only human.
