I saw TravisMcGee mentioned over there. He's not banned here, but hasn't posted since early this month.

"They serve the purpose of making the rest of [us] look just like the Bible-thumping, NRA membership owning, middle-aged, right-wing extremist males..."

Are you aware that your words probably describe at least half of the FR membership? As for me, while I don't do bible-thumping I have no problem with those who strongly support and advocate religious principles; I am a life member of NRA; a bit past middle age; and I am definitely hard right rudder. I tend not to have much patience with big-tent RINO moderates, exemplified by the dolts that have hijacked the California Republican party.

Good to know what you think of us.

It looks as though the big boys have you and FR in their sights.

FR is really scaring MSM.

Has JoeHadenuf been banned?

I pretty much agreed with him, although maybe not quite as forceful as him.

To: Jim Robinson; All

Before Mr. Robinson hits the delete key, let me say that many of the banned posters were rule abiding Free Republic participants and some were officers in the GOP. This has nothing to do with Stormfront or racism.

My article did not say that ALL posters that disagreed with illegal immigration were banned. It says that most Freepers do not know about the purge of many Freepers that do.

I openly welcome a discussion with Mr. Robinson and the Free Republic community on this matter because Mr. Robinson has failed to respond to several attempts to get a reply from him.

I will gladly answer any reasonable questions.

Kind Regards to the Free Republic community,

William Gheen

I am on the record as disagreeing with President Bush about immigration and being pretty angry about it a while back... and I was never told by Jim or anyone in charge around here to change my tune, or to stop posting... and I am still here. Could this article all be a lie? NO!!! (sarcasm)

The long-standing posting guidelines for this site are clear and simple. It's unfortunate that some people violate them, but I'm glad you took the time to reaffirm the philosophy and policies of Free Republic.

I agree and join with you in thanking Jim for reaffirming the philosophy and policies of Free Republic.

Diva:

They did not tell any of the banned Freepers that either, they just took down their accounts without notice or explanation.

Maybe many of them do not already have family here who will take them in. Or maybe in Mass, when the season is over, it's over. Cali has a 365 day a year agriculture/construction project cycle going. There is always work. There is always an employer willing to break the law to be able to pay less and pay no taxes.

As we know so well, George Bush has been targeted by the left for everything, even the hurricanes in Florida.

If FR and the Freepers can stay as civil and above petty name-calling like Bush has done for over 4 years, then I think that will make them madder and madder.

Keeping "them" mad is a good thing---people don't organize well and think rationally when they are "mad"---just remember Howard Dean in the primarys last year!

I disagree with the President's amnesty program, and have said so here. I was not aware I had been purged. No offense, Jim, but you've got to work on your purging techniques. It's supposed to hurt.

Works for me, Jim. FreeRepublic is still my favorite hangout. But, it is your site and I respect that. About a year ago, you asked me to stop posting articles by Adam Teiichi Yoshida. Despite the fact he has since had some terrific material, I have refrained from posting it. (Hope I get a gold star in my report card). Thanks for a great site.

Alamo-Girl:

I was banned for some policy that was neither clear, simple, or posted, as were many others.

Please give consideration to the opinions of those that can't answer Mr. Robinson because he has taken their voice from FR.
