It's not a novel idea; it's denying the rest of us the right to post and comment on any thread we choose on this forum. That's the way it works here.
It may be a novel idea to you, but I suggest you go somewhere else and start your own forum. You can leave the same way you got here if it bothers you when others have ideas that differ from yours.
I'm in no way saying that it's good to call people names, etc. I agree that all people(conservatives or like) should be able to post here. I was just saying that Freerepublic is more important than one issue. Is it better to quit (or leave for an indefinent time) a wonderful site because of one issue? I was in no way saying she shouldn't post there. She was complaining that she was getting flamed for her views on Terri. What I would do is just avoid that issue and move on. I certainly did not mean it in a malevonent way.
I'm a intelligent design person. If I posted on pro-evolution threads and got flamed very badly or got called names I couldn't stand I'd just not go there. That is just what ONJA would do. It was what I'd do. Which shows I'm in some way a coward. Still, I was giving advice as to what I'd do and I hope Hildy didn't misunderstand it.
