I was a member of freerepublic long ago. I log in after about a year's hiatus and I get the "banned: reason troll". I don't know why that was, but I forgave the mods. So I re-registered.
If you read my website and its sources, you will see how inappopriate it would be to not include it with this topic. Also, I gain nothing monetary from visitors to my site. It is tripod after all.
