Am I to Understand?

Free Republic and Liberty Post.org

To all:

I would hope your appearances and posting on these pages states your desire to undo years of liberal policies in this land I hope we all dearly love. I would hope that a hundred successful LibertyPost.org and FreeRepublics would advance the cause we all hold near and dear.

From what I have read here it seems many are more interested in fighting each other than they are in advancing the cause of individual liberty and limited constitution government as envisioned by our forefathers.

If my second paragraph is the truth, shame on you.

Let us stop the petty bickering about crap that doesn't amount to a hill of blue beans and get on with the job at hand.

I just can't include you - you actually conversed with me on this thread without hurling a bunch of insults. I can agree to disagree with someone if we can't move each other off our respective positions after a discussion. But you can't even get into a discussion with the knee-jerk insult-over-intellect crowd - and you don't appear to be in that gang.

Maybe you're having an off night? ;^)

Maybe that's because this isn't a libertarian forum. You'd have to be pretty naive to think biases won't come into play.

Do I think this is a libertarian forum? No.
-- Am I naive enough to believe it could be run without obvious bias, with a level playing feild? - Yes.

Watching 'Doc' on PaxTV. Puts one in a melancholy mood :) Dont worry, it's over at 10 :)

Sorry, but we are not going to give the moderators numbers and I'm not going to explain publicly why each individual post gets pulled or poster banned. But thanks for the suggestions.

[Jim Robinson]

They are anonymous to the mods, but not to me.

I hope I am wrong, but at FReepathon time, when your goal is not met, I think you can look to some of these posts for your reasons why.

Thanks for what you are trying to do here, Mr. Robinson. But I think the horse is already out of the barn. &;-)

[Jim Robinson]

What horse?

[Black Powder]

Am I naive enough to believe it could be run without obvious bias, with a level playing feild? - Yes.

There's just no such animal. And there never will be. Try Usenet instead, which is a good example of what happens on a level playing field.

[2Trievers]

OK ... if you take time to go back over my posts on this PARTICULAR THREAD ... I believe the "HORSE" will become self-evident! &;-)

[Jim Robinson]

No thanks.

[tpaine]

Whatever.

[2Trievers]

Mr. Robinson

When the "cha" is out of your "ching", come back to this thread ... you'll find the answers here. &;-)

[Neets]

DAMN RBA..turn off the Boob Tube..I don't like it when you are Melancholy....sheesh.

[Jhoffa_]

When the "cha" is out of your "ching", come back to this thread ... you'll find the answers here. &;-)

I am amazed..

You give the forum owner the finger like this and then complain about bias and censorship?

(LOL!)

[2Trievers]

Hey kiddo ... what brought you to the "smart side." LOL &;-)

[Neets]

A new martini...LOL made with Malibu and Stoli O and pineapple juice...it's quite good....LOL.

[tpaine]

You've embarrassed yourself once again.

- Thanks

[2Trievers]

You wild woman, YOU! LOL &;-)

[Abundy]

I'll consider the source...considering the source, I realize that you made an error and meant for your post to read as follows:

Abundy, you've embarrassed me again.

But you obviously have no shame.

And your quite welcome, in advance, for correcting your error. It was my pleasure.

[Jim Robinson]

I'm not too worried about it. Most of those who appreciate the site and what we are trying to achieve here will probably stay, and hopefully will contribute if they are so inclined and able. Those who don't, won't. As far as groups leaving together in a huff is concerned, it's happened before. Will probably happen again. I'm very sorry but it is impossible for me to satisfy all posters and all points of view. Those who start-up and run their own sites will soon learn that this a fact of life. And those who feel that Free Republic is not their cup of tea will usually move on and find another place more suitable to their tastes. It happens every day. The Internet is the free market at work.
