blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, ... Thus I hope that you will now consider and ultimately change your freepname to something more in line with your words, actions, and beliefs.

Despite many attempts to hit Abuse on me, the management isn't bothered by it.

FR is still more of a free-speech site than some of you apparently want. JimRob remembers the First Amendment and what this board has always stood for. It's one of FR's most enduring and endearing qualities. Besides, it is useful in a way that I think you don't perceive.

Haven't we had this conversation before?

To: George W. Bush
I never said to change your views or refrain from commenting. No attempt at squelching free speech, and I've never hit the abuse button on you(nice try with the innuendo.)

I only suggested that you change your freepname, instead of badmouthing the man whose name you are using, his policies, and his supporters. It is dishonest. I did not accuse you of being dishonest, since there was the chance that this irony hadn't been noticed by you. Now that you are aware of it, we'll see if you have the integrity to change your freepname to something more consistent with your words, actions, and beliefs, or consciously decide to be a fraud. The choice is yours, and will speak volumes about your character.

BTW, by changing your freepname and explaining why on your profile, or even by just simply noting in your tagline that you changed your freepname from George W. Bush, you'd be making quite a strong statement of dissatisfaction with him and/or his policies. And it would also be intellectually honest. Again, how is your trashing President Bush, his policies, and his supporters while posting under his name any different, other than by degree, from someone signing up as 'Ronald Reagan' and spouting Marxist slogans?
