Tyranny at FR!(A must read!)

Posted on 11/24/2002 6:07:57 PM PST by JIM_ROBINSON_IS_AN_ASS

This post is to alert all freepers to the rudeness of Jim Robinson as an administrator of this forum. I posted an article about black racism. I did not make any racist or offensive comments, yet Jim pulled the thread and banned me. I email him, and the following is my email and Jim's reply.

Email:

Dear Jim,

I posted an article on Black Racism, it stirred up quite a few interesting comments from FReepers, but I've not posted anything remotely racist, offensive, or unconservative in nature. Yet my posting privilage has been removed. In fact that entire thread has been removed. What have I done that is so inappropriate? Is it because I pointed out that blacks, contrary to what they say at DU, are also capable of racism? Why did you ban me? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll alert other FReepers and lurkers to shall I say the "dictatorial" nature of this forum that seems quite apparent by your actions today.

Sincerely,

InfiniteAutomata

Jim's reply:

Up yours.

Now I ask you fellow FReepers, is this the behavior of any kind of moderator. And I made contributions to this forum before, he can kiss my payments goodbye!!!

So black racism is off the table, I guess.
