JimRob gets rid of those being outrageous and hurting this site. This was below the belt by Sean.

Why I'll even bet some creative FReeper could even write a song about it! ;) You know like "Abraham, Martin, & Sean"?

(Sorry Doug, I couldn't resist)

Interesting comments below by JimRob on banning the outrageous ones. He and the mods do a good job keeping today's FR free of the many of the problems that Sean no doubt was alluding to. It's a fine balance between the site's self-censorship and a free-for-all. IMO, Jim has the balance just about right.

________ was banned because he is a whining antifreeper. There are several on FR and I allow it till I get fed up. I've had enough of ______. _____ and others could suddenly find themselves without posting priviliges when and if I get tired of the constant flamewars, but when that day comes there may be a whole lot of posters on both sides gone. You might ask yourself why the other side is still here and posting also. There is no beginning and no end to these wars and no clean hands on either side. I try to ignore it and let them rip each others eyes out until something flares up that I can no longer tolerate.

There are thousands and thousands of websites and authors on the Internet. There is absolutely no way I can make a list of which are acceptable and which are not. I prefer to operate on the premise that discerning conservatives are responsible and sensible enough to steer clear of racism and anti-America tinfoil hat propaganda. Those who cannot are not welcome here.

"This was below the belt by Sean."

You are exactly right, Hannity's comment was uninformed and inaccurate. He's made similar comments before. His feelings are hurt that not everyone here marches in lockstep with him. Tough.

There are great folks here who do terrific work. We know that. I see Hannity as an over-plugged talking head. He is effective at some levels. He's not bright, rarely articulate, but charming and talks louder than Alan Colmes. That makes money for him. So be it.

He just won't be taking any of my money, or my listening time - radio or t.v. If that makes me part of the "lunatic fringe" then sign me up!
