The point is, I don't see any suppression on FR other than obvious political slander.
Nope, only trolls have been banned.
I don't either. JimRob has made his preferences known, and to the extent that intimidates anyone, that's a factor. Nobody really wants to get on the wrong side of Jim.
On the other hand, he tolerates a lot of ocmment that he doesn't agree with. Sometimes I think he's too lenient, and other times I think he's too harsh. But since he owns the place, he's going to have the final word, and I have no problem at all with that.
Jim isn't suppressing anything. I agree with you.
Now, if I posted a Hillary for President thread, he might suppress that. In fact I hope he would.
