Remember this guy and his awesome video?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2091885/posts
Well, I along with some other FReepers invited him to join FR after seeing his YouTube videos. He did, posted something fairly innocuous about the Hadron Collider, and promptly got banned...
I understand Jim. My point is that I would hope we just wouldn’t be so quick to call people trolls and give out zots.
Part of being a conservative activist to me is to convince people, especially the young, that our ideas are right. Just preaching to the already converted does no good.
No problemo FRiend ;)
Read the thread and find out. Click on the link and find the answer to your question.
noob, I got ya by 9 days. :-D
Noobs. ;-)
Noob!
Nine years ago I came to FR in fiery defense of Wicca. I was treated politely and, over time, received the best education of my life from this website.
FR used to let people in with dissenting views as long as they were not insulting and had good, reasoned arguments. Dear G-d! I can't imagine where my life would've ended up had I been zotted on the first day! Now I'm a staunch conservative and I've done quite a bit to spread the word over the years.
I say we let everyone in who has a polite way of presenting their views, regardless of what those views are. We might even manage to gain a few more for our side.
Do what you know in your heart is right!
Apologies to this fine young man!
Just what are you talking about?
Just what looked “zottable”?
Was there more than what he presented in his video that caused hom to be banned?
If not, then this is very disturbing for a blog which I have held to be the gold standard of getting the truth out on all issues, faster than anyone else.
“A couple of years ago, there was a Freeper named A. Pole who posted a number of insightful articles on FR. He was willing to challenge the Republican establishmenet’s betrayal of conservative principles by their support of open borders and free trade. I didn’t always agree with him, but I enjoyed his threads. He got banned for posting an article from a controversial publication, even though the article itself had nothing exceptional to say. “
Yep, there are several who ought to be here. BTW, this month is my TEN year anniversary. You people are getting old!
Seriously, moderators are human, I’m not brave enough to take the job. I know I’m biased. I’ll never know why they or JR has put up with me this long. Mods make mistakes, too.... and some times they’re just jack@$$’s!
LOL!
Just heard from him, he’ll be posting.
BTW...cute poopies!
I'm sure he (or she) is an all right guy. He was just a lefty.
Stay out of my bathroom smith.
LOL!
And I care about your “let’s be global and let the little guy support me” opinion because???
Run along and play with the other children. But don’t eat the candy!!! Your Chinese imports are killing people....but it’s all about the bottom line, isn’t it, rudeBOY?
You may have the last word, I don’t read your nonsense replies.
Carry on.
You care because I’m still here and your socialist friend sleeps with the fishes. Boo hoo.
