The Frosty Woolridge article posted by ALIPAC was called to the moderator's attention because it was quoting Thomas W. Chittum who is not the kind of person we want quoted on FR.

The moderator did a google search and found that ALIPAC's site also promotes VDARE and Rense, etc, (who also carried the Woolridge/Chittum article along with stormfront) and decided at that point to pull the thread.

Google alipac vdare

I came in later and reviewed the moderator action and decided to google a little further:

Google site:stormfront.org alipac

When I discovered that the stormfronters were involved in Ranch Rescue and Minuteman, which ALIPAC was promoting, I decided there were too many connections between ALIPAC and sites and or people with whom I wish not to be associated, and so revoked his FR posting privileges.

I did not respond to ALIPAC's letter or requests for explanation and or debate, etc, because it's none of my business who he associates with or carries on his site. I just don't want it here on FR.

Now he's decided to declare war against FR. Well, whatever. He can take his best shot. It will not change my mind about staying clear of stormfront or anti-America tinfoil hat conspiracy sites. None of that crap is welcome on FR.

Thanks all the same.

Sounds very reasonable Jim.

We are participating in this Patriotic endeavor, coming April, at the invitation of an American private property owner and refuse to align ourselves with any untoward persons/activities. And we look forward to meeting and coordinating with all like-minded, proper-hearted participants that will not lie down to the De-constructionists.

I hope the best possible good can be derived for all concerned, most importantly, the united states of America.

May FR be a positive and overwhelming catalyst for good, necessary change, even when the going is unnerving.

WTH else are we all gathering together for??

Mr. Robinson:

I do not believe Gheen has declared "War" on you or Free Republic. His forum posts at his site IMO depict this conflict as an "unfortunate" event "necessitated" by your actions which he and many others perceive as a manipulation of the debate on immigration at Free Republic. I hope that things are not at that level.

Once again, Free Republic will continue to have new members that do not know the history or background that you do on some authors and groups. Without a defined and accessible list of prohibited sites, groups, and authors, you will continue to have to pull threads from well intentioned users. Pulling these threads, assuming those that post them are "storm front infiltrators" and banning accounts without explanation will probably lead to more tensions in the future.

Considering the rising interest in this issue, I constructively encourage you to take the young Turks and hot bloods with a paternal grain of salt. There is a rising anger in this nation over the illegal immigration problem and many of the people that come here will not be the extremists you have dealt with in the past although they may be very passionate in their views. Besides, would Free Republic be all that interesting without a few good knock down drag out debates from time to time?
