"By taking sides with the open borders lobby, Jim Robinson has taken a position that is at odds with more than 80 percent of the Free Republic community and the majority of conservatives in America. The fact he is using tactics his own users would find unethical to censor articles and silence opposition with banishments and intimidation is of great concern to all of us as Americans. New members of Free Republic and those that are not aware of Robinsons covert attempts to stifle debate should be warned."
"Free Republic participants have documented censorship of material from or mention of groups like VDARE.com, Rense.com, American Patrol, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, 9/11 Families for a Secure America, ETHER ZONE, News with Views, author Frosty Woolridge, Save Our State, the Minuteman Project and others."
"Others" referring to sites like stormfront.org, et al.
That's right. I simply do not wish to be associated with these sites. I'm sure that anyone who wishes to associate with these people already knows where to find them. I don't want it on FR.
I also want nothing to do with vigilantism so that rules out the so-called minuteman project. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it, I'll simply continue revoking the posting privileges of those who post from these sites or attempt to promote vigilantism on FR.
Also, there are some posters who are using the illegal immigration issue to insult and or viciously attack other posters on this forum. These people should not be surprised or act innocent when they lose their posting privileges. Continued posting of racism, personal attacks, insults, profanity, etc, will lead to a sudden loss of posting privileges (with or without warning or explanation). Don't bother writing.
Final note: I do NOT support open borders or illegal immigration. Sincerely doubt there are many on this forum who do.

I haven't been purged yet, and I oppose it vehemently. So either you've not been thorough, or they're full of Hillary-speak.

free speech is an illusion on FR.com Free speech isn't even considered on here because this is a PRIVATELY-OWNED site. When will these nimrods understand this?

Well we do have a large open borders contingent mostly libertarians and Wall Street Journal editoral page backers but there are also many many more like me who are not pro-open borders or amnesty under any name.
So like TheDentist said, they are full of BullClinton.

So either you've not been thorough, or they're full of Hillary-speak. It is apparent you have a reading/comprehension problem. He didn't say that he supported illegal immigration. He said he opposed it. However, he would not allow posts that call for things like vigilantism or are racist on their face.
Are you saying those are things you support?

"Final note: I do NOT support open borders or illegal immigration. Sincerely doubt there are many on this forum who do."I agree with you 100 percent. We were talking on another thread the other day about trollish behavioral patterns the other day. One of the things that came up were those individuals who do exactly what we're seeing here. They post nasty stuff, get it pulled, and then whine that you're systematically censoring their right to free speech.
Not all who claim to be conservatives really are. Some are just trollish infiltrators, drunk on their own cleverness.
