LOL-----you have a plan.......well, don't follow through on it just yet.....we need ya too much!!!! :-)
To: oldvike
Old account name was "wasfree" (he put it in the keywords on this post).
I posted above why he was banned.

Free Republic: Not As Good As It Used To Be Since the Day After It Opened! Like the very first U.S. Marine said to the second Marine:
"You should have been in the old Corps!"
DOUBLE OVERHEAD
And like every Surfer that caught it when it was great says to those who came too late: "Should'a been 'here yesterday, mate. It was double overhead and offshore all day, and no one out but me."
To: Sungirl
I posted some of it above.

Jim reviewed my ban of the user and decided that he did not want any of the user's posts to be on our system. So Jim nuked the account (only he can do that to older accounts).
To: Admin Moderator
Good job!
To: Ole Okie
Don't let the door hit you in the clymer on your way out. That's right,pile on. You must be one of the "amen chorus" around FR who never questions "authority". I've been banned myself for HorseHillary "reasons" that had more to do with pissing-off one or more of the "in-crowd" than the subject matter of my posts. The thing that makes you (or me,anyhow) is that all your posts are deleted when this happens,and you can't even make posts to defend yourself against attack from the weasel that had you banned.
To: Nita Nupress
See #59. Thanks.
To: Freedom'sWorthIt
But but but---- I need to be able to properly commiserate with these banned Freepers when they E-maail and want their money back, and raise hell with me.
I want to be able to truthfully say " I FEEL YOUR PAIN" : )
Maybe I can con the Mods into banning me while I be sleepin'

But yours is a good point. If anyone ever disagrees with a particular moderator action, such as a banning or a suspension, the way to handle it is to send a non-whine letter to Jim, with details, asking him to intercede. If he agrees that the moderator overacted, he can and will overturn the moderator's action.
To: sneakypete
Uh, Pete, check post 59. It's rather illuminating. ;)

You must be one of the "amen chorus" around FR who never questions "authority You might want to read post 59 - you might have a change of mind in this instance.

To: Gramps
Why can't you whinners just slink away without a "farewell address"? And why can't YOU whiners understand that once you are banned,you can't answer posts to you,or even FR-mails? There are other FR posters directing posts and e-mails to you who don't know you are banned.They are expected a response,and they think you are just ignoring them. This might not apply so much to somebody who has been here for 4 months,but people who have been here for 4 years have FR "friends",many of whom you don't have any e-mail address for other than the FR mail feature here.

There are reasons to not make these kind of explanations all the time though. Let's say that you explain "I banned him because he is a racist". Then Jim gets a letter from a lawyer saying that his client has been harmed by a statement of libel. Or you get people starting to sign up specifically to turn "explanation" threads into circuses.
We are discouraged from doing what I have done on this thread. However, when it is clear to me that someone is playing the "let's try to destroy FR from the inside" game, I don't hesitate to change tactics.
To: ABG(anybody but Gore);OneidaM
Just one question pops into my mind after reading this:
Doesn't anyone ever go silently into that good night???
(And, btw, I am certain that everyone here agrees that there is no place for racism (or demented sexism, either) in any forum, no matter how long one has been a FReeper. It appears that this guy was given a huge amount of rope before he was allowed to hang himself with it!!!)

Good riddance.

Townsman: "Well ... I got better."
It's Monty Python. It's not supposed to make sense.
