There is anecdotal evidence that some long time Freepers are disappearing from the site. I hope they aren’t leaving or being banned because we are supposed to only espouse certain views.

Not really. JimRob has made it clear that this is a conservative website with Judeo-Christian values. Stray from that, and you’ll probably get the zot.
Stay within those parameters, and the mods will be pretty lenient. Not perfect. But pretty lenient.

I can tell you this is a fact. Participation and donations are down because folks are jumping ship for several reasons including arrogant moderation.
I hate to see it. It makes absolutely no sense to step on the hand that feeds you. Unless you actually don’t need it?
