So now, I'm faced with a dilemna. If I repost the article I wrote, I may get banned from Free Republic despite the four years of consistent mostly conservative posting. What is my option? The other side deserves a chance to be heard.

Mr. Watson, I read your article and the ensuing flame war. Maybe you weren't responding but it turned into one giant "pile-on-Edward". So many people here at FR have let their concern for Terri cause them to turn on people who probably agree with them 99% of the time.

My advice is not to try and post your story here again, even though it is very relevant. As you say you might get kicked out of FR altogether and it's not worth it. Of course, you'll have to answer yourself the question of whether it's worth it to stay at all with what this place has turned into.

Thanks. Interestingly, I also received numerous e-mails to the post - all but one of which supported my position.

I understand the irrational vitriol from other conservatives - after all, I'm a Mormon and used to it. Water off a duck's back so to speak. What I was unprepared for was the censorship by Free Republic's moderators. I used to be so proud of this website and would brag to others about how tolerant and confident it was since we weren't afraid to have our leftist opponents speak their minds. Sadly, this appears to no longer be the case.
