Scoop1 was banned/suspended from FR on about 4/19 for, once again, threatening fellow FReepers whom she perceived to be "disagreeing" with her with legal action. There was one particularly contentious--and frankly, bizarre--thread, now pulled, that was apparently the last straw for Free Republic.
That same week, Scoop1's partner announced her intention to disassociate herself from The Empire Journal, effective 4/22/05. Shortly after that, the website was wiped clean, and the "under construction" notice posted on the home page.
I believe that June (Scoop1) has some other "journal" website that she may be posting articles on now, but I don't know the name of it. I expect that someone else here might be able to post a link to it.
Oh my word, I ahve no idea that Scoop1 was banned from here. To bad, I liked her. I see TEJ is down. What a mess, to bad.
