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’ve posted a total of 1 thread and 48,460 replies. My single thread was a vanity and I survived it. I’m going for a record.
I don’t know. Looked zottable to most posters on that thread and apparently the mods agreed. Guess if the guy is for real he’ll take his lumps and go on with life. He can come or go as he pleases, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to make any apologies to anyone.
I guess I should have included you in my response to humblegunner.
Please define his talent and ability.
The young man can communicate to people whom you or I probably couldn't, young people who as he says, are chained on the Liberal plantation. He's a strong Conservative and stands up for it amidst gaggles of relatives who are all Obamatons. I find his videos to be quite compelling; his style has punch and his message is right on.
Did you watch any of his videos?
Oh, thanks fanfan.
Smiling at you...I completely missed that...I was looking at stuff elsewhere.
And you’re right...I say exactly what I mean, always.
Yes I did. I enjoyed them.
My comments to humblegunner were tongue in cheek about a completely different video.
I guess Freerepublic isn’t the site I always thought it was!
The site is only as good as it’s leadership!
Think About it!
yep. anyone heard back from him? sure hope he gives us a second chance. He would be an awesome addition here! ive watched all his vids, favorites being “btw im voting for mccain palin” and his one on abortion. he nails it.
I guess this site was doomed from the start then, because I ain’t changing my ways.
I love his videos ! True Christian and good for the black community in getting their perspectives in the right direction. He should get back in.
That explains Free Republic's short life-span and unpopularity. ;-)
He was invited to post here and probably didn’t know about vanities and certainly not first day vanities. How would he...look at all the vanities on the current page. A mod warning or instruction might have helped the situation. People new to boards don’t know all the rules on day 1. I’m just sayin...
Oh. LOL Just call me a buttinsky. Sorry.
Dang right!
You should see how nasty it gets on the "pitbull" threads. I've been called so many names I stopped posting on any threads for a couple years. There are quite a few freepers that only attack through freepmail and can get quite a bit testy if you take their private nastiness and post it to the thread. One told me I had no business "airing my dirty laundry in public." I guess it contradicted their online persona. I replied that's the only way to get the stink out.
Huh?
Why would I have a problem with someone I haven’t seen and don’t know?
Again, a good afternoon to you.
I’m off this thread and on a research project unless pinged again.
And the problem is ?
One of my sons, who is a well-informed, articulate conservative, and who served proudly in the US Army, opened a FR account after lurking for some time. He dared, as a ‘noob,’ to post a comment contrary to someone’s idea of GOP or conservative orthodoxy. Boom! He was banned. Needless to say, my son now holds the same opinion of this forum as machosauce.
Instead of banning people who do not march in lock step, why can’t FReepers intelligently engage those with whom they agree overall but with whom they disagree on matters of relative insignificance? Alienating those who are not 100% pure is not a way to encourage either minorities or young folks to pursue a conservative path. It, in fact, encourages self-extinction.
You are one of the most harmless. loveable, honest people I know.
Almost like a political doctor.....
First....Do no harm. That’s you.
