"In jest I asked the poster "BeHOldAPaleHorse" if he hires illegal aliens." My response contained exactly the same amount of jest as your question

Yup, Free Republic debate technique #3,389: if you cannot defeat your opponent with facts and logic, whine to the moderator to get him banned. The downside is that if it doesn't work, you look pathetic.

I see calumny is just fine with you, as long as you're not on the receiving end.
