I just recived this via freepmail. Evidently the webmaster's made a mistake and needs to correct this.
Milhous Opus / R.I.P. From Milhous2 | 09/26/2006 2:46:53 PM CDT new
Greetings FRiends. Milhous here under a different name.
Allow me to begin my opus by thanking everybody for the things you taught me about critical thinking, politics, and human nature during the past couple of years.
Last Sunday without warning FR abruptly banned me with "reason: troll". A ban possibly caused by my deletion of a few of my older posts in an attempt to improve my own Signal-to-Noise Ratio on self searches after a failure to find a previous post frustrated me.
Perhaps my deletion of a years old post that originally offended another FReeper got flagged at the time then triggered an automatic ban.
On Monday I emailed an appeal to webmaster@freerepublic.com, but it remains unanswered. First thing Tuesday morning I emailed another appeal to jimrob@psnw.com but it too remains unanswered.
At this point my posting ban looks permanent. Although it's impossible for me to post I will still lurk to watch MSM's inevitable fade into oblivion. :)
May my own experience help you avoid a potential pitfall. Thanks again. Good luck.

T'wasn't me. It was Milhous. He freepmailed me using another name...

"Wow, that's impressive. How exactly did you delete these posts?" Only Way I can think of is to hit the abuse button and ask the Admin to delete them.

Yes, but you posted this thread. Replies are going to have your name on them by default. Milhous should be reading this thread, right?

I'd be happy if I could correct spelling and grammatical errors.

I received the very same FR mail.
I am perplexed about the deleting of old posts.

I'd be happy if I could correct spelling and grammatical errors. How great would that be? I can't tell you how many times I've made a dumb gramatical error, or left out a key word, in a post that I otherwise really thought was good.

Milhous should be reading this thread, right? He's lurking under his new user name. The admins are who I want to read this and then fix it. He ain't no troll. He's been here for years...

Milhous has been restored, Milhous2 has been banned.
We do not remove old comments for posters solely for the purpose of "to improve my own Signal-to-Noise Ratio". He was banned because he was spamming the abuse button.
Thanks.
