[Travis McGee]

I miss Travis Mcgee.... FR has not been the same since he was shown the door... A true American, a true Patriot, and a true defender of Western Civ.

.... and a predictor of and advocate of violence against illegal aliens.... That will get most folks banned.

No, one who warns about a terrible national tragedy directly in our path, on this course. A new dirty civil war would be the worst disaster to strike America since the first Civil War, and I for one will do anything I can to spread the alarm.

No, one who warns about a terrible national tragedy directly in our path, on this course. A new dirty civil war would be the worst disaster to strike America since the first Civil War, and I for one will do anything I can to spread the alarm. I for one am in favor of letting almost anyone say almost anything. I think the whining babies here on FR who report people simply because they get their feelings hurt should just grow up. That said, I looked at your xchange with JimRob on the issue (I have lurked on FR since my wife found this site in 98). I thought your exchange was similar to saying "go ahead, make my day" except the OTHER GUY was holding the gun!

At any rate, I am glad you are back and I hope you stay. I have seen a big group of folks get fried here who I believe were real assets (even if they stirred things up and were stupid about how they left). That list includes but is not limited to:

Travis McGheee (!)
Howlin
Peach
Chronic_Loser
Radio Astronomer
Don Oh

Some of these folks were strident, obnoxious, irritable and pugnacious. I am glad to see at least one of them "back in the fold." I think FR would be a better place if being "banned" did not mean consignment to the eternal realms of outer darkness, but maybe meant "purgatory" for a little while, so that you could be cleansed of your sins and return, the penitent and humble poster.

Again. I am glad to see you.
