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. . .
That Henrietta must have her own personal black helicopters circling over head. She is soo weird. She's the reason I quit going to that site for news.
Adios Zot-bait.
Why do you want to zot him? Please reread his comments. He's NOT against Jim Rob or FR. He's against Sierra Times. Huge difference. :-)
***sigh****
Good God people.
a) IT WAS **CLEAR** that tadowe was pro-FR and not the moderator of SierraTimes!
b) tadowe was unfairly attacked
c) After all this unfairness and vitriole sent his way, why should he be blamed for lashing back a bit?
As I see it, tadowe owes NO apology. Perhaps he's just foolish for yakking on and on and twisting into a pretzel over others' misperceptions....
IF anyone REALLY READ your post they would KNOW there was NOTHING wrong with what you said. Don't worry about it.
What was her screenname?
Love the graphic.
Henrietta.
Thanks.
I don't remember her.
See your mail.
Another ego that has to shoot his mouth off. Just leave because you are not that important.

Read the very next post. I TOTALLY agree with you. I'm glad to see that someone else "got it."
I know, I just used your post as the jumping point..... the "clueless" pix need to be posted to several people around here, but not the OP.....! ;-)
LOL!!!
Boy that guy's about to have a bad day!
Are there stats that are published. If so can you let me know a link? (Apologizing in advance if this is something I should know or that is painfully obvious).
FR vs. a couple of critical sites over 2yrs. Notice that sierratimes has had a massive drop off.
Is the poster making stuff up about Sierra Times? I don't get your question.
It's obvious the comments are his.
