I have never encountered Umgud before this thread.
If Umgud was "banned" last night, then why does he/she appear on this thread? Who banned him/her? And, what does that mean?
I am so new to Free Republic that I really have not yet earned friends or enemies. That will come in time, I am sure. There is real potential, for example, to make an enemy or two on this very thread.
