You can tell a lot about a poster by reading their other comments, not just the ones on the current thread. To find what they've said on other threads, click on their screen name, when that page opens, click on in forum. Their past comments are there for all the world to see.

Oh. I guess you're right. The problem is, in other situations, sometimes when I'm looking through the archives, I'll see something interesting posted by someone, but when I click on their name, it says they've been banned or suspended. Since that's all I get, I don't know how to even get to their other forum posts to figure out why. I could care less why pro-Democrat trolls are banned, but I've occaionally seen good posts by individuals who seem like conservatives, but when I try to see what else they've posted, I just get a message saying they're banned. Is there any way to find out why a banned poster has been banned? Maybe I'm just nosey.
***What was their full comment? So many people get immediately banned on this site, and I am often left wondering why. I wish mods would leave non-profane controversial comments up, if only to satiate my curiosity as to why they were banned.***
Here it is:

Didn't Republicans filibuster Clinton's nominees as well - Or does history get revised on this site? It seems that this article is suggesting that to filibuster is to express weakness, sooooo what does this say about the Republicans in the 90's??
Seriously, isn't it really all about absolute power, and assuring that there isn't?
Fraud? That was a 100% genuine troll!

Guess I called it right from the giddy-up.
I admit I like a bit of Tori Amos.
(Don't tell anybody. :-))
I won't tell.
First song I heard from her was "Space Dog", followed by "God".
Then I heard "Professional Widow".
*chuckle*
I am a Troll Hunter.
I have the ability to see all of the posts that a poster posts in forum.
I can also see the posts that have been previously pulled. Now, that trick is a secret. :-)
Righteously opposing the state-sanctioned killing of Terri Schindler is "playing the victim"?
The pro-death crowd is the side that's gone to the Dems.
Most of the longtimers that you see on old posts have been banned because of flame wars. Some have opused (quit the forum) and asked to have their identity terminated.
"I am a Troll Hunter."
So, what does it take kill a troll, stake through the heart like a vampire or bullet in the head like a zombie? Will garlic repell them? Are they afraid of crucifixes?
:-)
You can try going to the FR search on top of the main forum page, putting in the poster's screen name and choosing 'by poster' in the drop down box or doing a google seach using their advanced search link and putting in Freerepublic.com as the domain. You can also try asking one of the Mods via FR mail, but they may not tell you. They may decide you're trying to cause trouble and ban your account.
Most that I've seen banned over the years are trolls who come here to accuse conservatives/republicans of starving old people, poisoning the air and water and setting up internment camps for gays/lesbians/liberals. The ones who've been here a while and are banned have probably broken the rules more times and been given more chances than they were probably due (see MoJo/Hun, A+Bert, Eschoir). They disrupt FR in other ways (personal attacks, stalking, threats, etc). There have been very few bannings I disagreed with (Snow Bunny, Joe Montana).
Thank you for your explanation and Google tip. I'm not trying to be nosy or cause trouble. I know what curiosity did to the cat, and I'd like to stay here.
I've already checked out your posting history ;) I wouldn't have wasted my time if I thought you were a troll.
Pure logic, my friend.
And maybe the occasional SAM.
