As for being "less than honest", lets not forget what the genesis of that site is.

Yes, let's not.

Some people couldn't resist lying about a conservative candidate in order to make a liberal look better, and were warned then banned.

Other people threw hissy fits about their favorite FReeper being banned and behaved in a way that provoked their own banning.

A few more walked away because they didn't like the bannings of the first two categories.



"Less than honest" would be making those departed persons victims.

The ‘genesis of that site’ took place way before the bannings!

It was formed months ago by disgruntled haters of conservative candidates.

Yep, the WAcko anti-FReeper site started because conservatives, and I quote, "have had your foot on our necks for too long."

I can’t believe they’re actually blaming Fred for the fact that some media sources erroniously reported that he would announce on July 4. “What a leader..” one of them says. Now I remember how petty and stupid they were when they were here. Geez, it’s like visiting DU DU. I need to take a shower...

The average WAcko is in total agreement politically with the anti-Clinton DUmmie contingent.

Man, after all these years on FR, and that quote ends up her final legacy. “;^(

That right there is the ‘genesis of that site’.

There’ve been a lot of good explanations re the bannings (like this)

but yours sums it up about the best, IMO, esp the last line.

This statement is particularly telling:

But we're not going to let you make abortion and guns the big issues this time around.

Oh, really?
