As a Christian, I did forgive him (not that that is anyone's business but mine). I did more than that. RA wrote one last note to me, saying he knew I was trying to get him banned. That was false, but I thought I heard sadness or regret in his note. I pondered it and posted a reply offering to intercede with Jim Robinson if he were willing to rededicate himself to FR. RA did not respond -- which is not much of a surprise, especially given all we've heard since. But I had to try.
Membership in Free Republic is a privilege. I have no sympathy for those who come here for any purpose other than supporting the conservative cause as Jim Robinson defines it. RA neither supports it nor is willing to follow its simple rules of courtesy and good manners. He does not belong here.
Looks like RadioAstronomer was looking to get banned as further justification of his/their own paranoia. Stamping out Christianity really does seem to be the mission of academia.
Perhaps the Cho massacre hit too close to home. I say Cho was only actng on what he had been taught to do. I remember getting some of the same garbage taught in college. Notice how Cho's manifesto remains unpublished.
