Posters Comment #1
The "death knell" is for sites such as this "moderator's" who attempt to raise their popularity by attacking competitors for their success.
The internet is NOT subject to any governmental "enforcement" of the putative "freedom of speech". The various blogs and "news" sites are PRIVATELY owned and no "owner" can be forced to accept the unwelcome words or commentary of another. To lead that inference, as the article attempts to do, is hypocritical in the extreme! That is even more apparent, when I noticed the article because I had been banned from posting on that site (sierratimes) in disagreement with their inference that armed revolution is what you should do with unlimeited funds. . .
Of course, now I am banned again, since I "signed-up" to post on the site under the title "Abannedposter" to highlight their hypocrisy. And, naturally, I was banned again and *threatened* with retaliation if I continued. . .something about the (scary) "Spam Commission" and hints/threats of "federal" felony this-and-that.
I must laugh-out-loud because this site literally *hates* Homeland Security and the Patriot Act, but will NOT hesitate to use it as a threat against an individual who notices what a bunch of two-faced individuals they are, indeed.
Article:
Freerepublic.com has over the years filled a unique and valuable niche for conservatives. In the past, I was also a Freeper, but I ceased posting when Freerepublic.com founder Jim Robinson first began censoring and banning members for any criticism of George Bush. I knew then the handwriting was on the wall for Freerepublic.com; that the situation would only grow worse with time. . .
Your title was taken as an attack and should have had a barf alert or something to guide at first glance..
You are indignant at being misunderstood..but look at what your post says in the title and climb off your high horse.
By the way, (this is the part I love)-have you met my cat?
God Bless 'W'.
where did you go?
We were looking to have a bit of fun with you and your rants...
You see... poor misunderstood original poster was posting to complain about the hypocrisy on the Sierra Times site..but as he did not put a barf alert, he got flamed and therefore is indignant at his treatment here...
He was banned there.
You might be right, CG. After settling down and reading the entire thread including ZM's post, I'm thinking he was fired upon without review (so many trolls, so little time, dontcha know), but poster made two errors. One, not a clear post. Can't tell who's side he's on, who he's defending, who he's attacking, or even what point he making. Two. Hostile. Immediately everyone who disagreed with him is stupid, fake conservative, socialist, blah blah blah.....rant rave, yada yada. Brings people's fists up. IMHO.
Zot him.
for freedumb's response to #63.......
Sniff, sniff... I'm smelling ozone. A little early to be drinking, isn't it?
Another one!
I second that!
Not to mention that there is a thread where we can honor and support our Troops!
Thanks ,Jim for all you do!
Try Democratic Underground,you'll fit right in!
Love the evil Kitty!
"Big Gun" ... Thank you. He's my favorite.
Mine ,too!
I just love it when you post him!
You will save the world. I am humbled to know you. Buzz off gnat.
Well, I suppose my posting history is proof that Henrietta Bowman doesn't know what she's talking about.
Of course, my formula for longevity has two major ingredients:
Good grief, whiners like Henrietta Bowman need to get a new life.
"Two. Hostile. Immediately everyone who disagreed with him is stupid, fake conservative, socialist, blah blah blah.....rant rave, yada yada. Brings people's fists up. IMHO."
I assume he will go to another site and be equally shocked at another banning. First he makes a post with an inflammatory title..then lambasts everyone for not reading his post #1 and misunderstanding him..
Newbies do not have a track record and should know better than to attack those who do.
Had he calmly accepted he's made a mistake not putting a barf alert in the title..all would have been worked out.
I first thought he was the writer of the article,too.
I have an idea this post was more about his being banned there than their hypocrisy about FR's banning posters..
"It's all about meeeee!"
I would hazard to guess that the huge majority of freepers are adamant in their opposition to the guest worker proposal.
