I haven’t had a problem but you expressed that you think JR is censoring something, if JR isn’t removing the inappropriate posts, who is?
My next-door neighbor's mother threw out her mid-60s baseball card collection [she was a tomboy, and a darn good softball player] in 1974.
I found it in the farm garbage dump, and added it to my own collection.
SCORE!!
“I doubt the removed posts violated Jim’s rules. They rarely do.”
You addressed Allegra’s concern appropriately which I commend you. “That didn’t make any sense but if you think JR’s posting rules are too harsh you should contact him.”
However, the responses given to your concern from Allegra issue became increasingly and strangely even angry???

“LOL.
I doubt the removed posts violated Jim’s rules. They rarely do.
As I said, we know what’s going on. And most of us are impervious to the smoke screens and manipulation tactics which I realize pisses the consortium off to no end. 😁
If you have a problem with my posts, how about you contact Jim?”
Anyway, I think this is too strange to continue tonight. Have a great night & hope ‘til tomorrow.
Always keeping Ukraine in prayer :)
Does the consortium have some sort of problem pinging the freepers that they are discussing?
I gently reminded the consortium of this courtesy two days ago - but now your account is doing it again.
Can't the consortium staff leave Post-It notes for the other shifts?
Is it that hard? 
” you can also see clear admissions that the person on duty tonight has never seen my same Sergeant Hulka meme post to the consortium account from the other night...
Two days ago - but “she” doesn’t remember.

I want to try to end your confusion. I followed the URL link & saw your reference to a Francis. I didn’t care what you meant then & really don’t know. Apparently, Francis has a brain in his toe.
Trying to defuse the "consortium" intimations is apparently keeping "you" up...
I reflected & commented: “You addressed Allegra’s concern appropriately which I commend you.”

You need to understand, Freepers read each other’s comments. You jumped from first referring from a “brain in a Big Toe to Francis. And, seemed delighted I didn’t know because now you think I am not an American???
No need here for any paranoia. As far as I know, there are no “person’s on duty tonight” or taking shifts assigned to dialogue with you.
In Comment #42 maybe you imply that I am in a ‘consortium:”UMCRevMom@aol.com; Jumper; Allegra; Rocco DiPippo?
That is a BIG no. They cannot tolerate that I choose to support Ukraine.

Hope I helped cleared concerns for you... G’Nite :)
Trying to defuse the "consortium" intimations is apparently STILL keeping "you" up...
Have a good night, kids.
Anxious to see me go??? Broke my diet, eating pizza, G' Nite :)
Businesses are closing like crazy because utility costs are now insane. Because of the massive increase in the cost of natural gas, restaurants are shutting down all over Italy as are other small businesses whose biggest costs are electricity and gas.
My electric bill went from ~80 Euros per month pre-sanctions to ~200. I had the money and know-how to install a solar electric system so I got costs under control. But many folks don't have the money, or the skill, to install one so they're stuck.
That increase has been devastating to individuals and small businesses here, families are being forced to choose between eating or keeping the lights on, yet we're to believe your assertion that the idiotic sanctions have had little or no cumulative, negative effect on the industrial output of entire nations in Europe? OK. Things on the ground here tell are far different story.
Here's a nice one for you and similar ones are playing out across Europe: My closest neighbors are two lovely, old folks in their mid-80s. This past winter they could not afford to run their gas heating system - they were wearing winter coats, hats and gloves inside their house so I let them hang out in my house on the coldest days to warm up. Nice, huh? I'm sure they were thinking take that Putin!while they were freezing their asses off in their house. . .
I blame the vile, virtue-signaling Eurocrats who sanctioned Russia at the cost of their own people's welfare for the ongoing and increasing impoverishment of Europeans.
Be patient, man! He or she has been working hard on their ESL course and doing pretty well with it.
ChatGPT strikes again! Lololol!
Thanks for the laughs!
Speaking of "degenerates," are you okay with these Youcraynian degenerates? How about the two foot tall grifting grease stain who wears high heels and leather and gay dances like a pro when he's not stripping off his clothes and pretending to play the piano with his penis?
There you go again insinuating that someone who opposes your views is either stupid or ill." That's precisely what the Soviets would do to anyone who voiced opposition to them.
On another note, let's try keeping things real here regarding who's "winning" this war. Who knows what the final outcome will be but one thing's certain: as of this moment Youcrayne isn't winning it. But its soldiers are being slaughtered at an unsustainable rate.
Funny. My Spanish rates are down a lot. After spiking in 2022.
And business seems to be doing very well, with a horde of tourists - not in Bilbao, because we don’t get many ever.
I suspect you are cherry picking the worst of whatever over the last year. Italian economic stats are, if anything, better than Spain. And we are doing very well..
Tourist arrival for the first quarter 2023 is up by 41% vs the same period 2022. And I believe it. Here in the North we don’t see it that much, we never do. But I made the executive decision to leave Biarritz (yeah, France, but the same holidaymakers) early, because I’ve never seen such a crowd.
