Or were you just ribbing me?

I was being sarcastic about everything except your account. This is FreeRepublican.com now. They might boot ya, no joke.

I don't doubt it sometimes. Posting history should count for something, I think. I realize that with 100,000+ members it's not practical or practicable to research a poster's probable intent with a particular post, though.

I had an idea for a FR improvement for both posts and replies: a checkbox asking the moderator to 'OK' the post or reply before it posts. This would help the users demonstrate that they are aware a post may be iffy, without just posting it and having to prove himself afterwards. I've had only one post pulled in three years. I had a little email back-and-forth with JimRob about it where he said I was posting racist troll bait.

It upsetted me, but if I had been able to submit it 'for review' I could have been told much more kindly what was wrong with my post. As it was, Jim probably thought I was just trying to stir up trouble, no matter that my posting history shows that I am very careful with my wording and tend to avoid conflict on issues that are likely to provoke me.
