It's creepy how much these zombies whine and moan about how much they hate and loathe FreeRepublic, in between the comforting words of fellow zombies, such as "Oh, I used to be upset about FreeRepublic, now instead of just clinching my teeth and making fists I calmly walk over and kick the dog instead!"

This opus, as an example, claims that FR is "a precious jewel of a forum" (for fascism). There is a high level of irrationality apparent.

I never wanted to leave the Free Republic, and would abide with the rules in every way in every respect as I have as Bicycle Thug since I sign up for the account if allowed to stay.

Jim Robinson banned me in March 2000 after some admittedly foul posts made while I was mortally angry at AOL's Steve Chase and company killing my old primary forum of residence.

I never was able to get an answer to any of my E mailings to him to try to make amends and to reestablish myself as an interlocutor here.

This is only an opus in that I finally realized I was being a hypocrite in my series of accounts here, regardless of how unjust the ban, regardless of my intentions.

If he were to allow me to stay, I would. But at this point, it is solely up to him to make that decision.

It is my responsibility to respect his decision if he decides that there is no place at all here for me.

The last thing I ever want to be is a disruptor, and believe it or not, despite my venting of the spleen here, I actually still respect him and know damn well part of this posting is engendered by a build-up of shear rage at not even being given the courtesy of a response as to why I was not welcome.

He is shrewd and smart, and is to be commended for his business savvy and abilities to create Free Republic. I wish him long life and prosperity regardless of my anger, and regardless of the words here expressing my deepest fears.
