I'll raise my hand before I post next time.
No one (at least on the Rudy side) is claiming "persecution." But there is a large segment of FReepers that would just as soon see us gone.
That's not playing the victim. That's verifiable.
Some posters either don't read the threads or haven't seen just how many fraidy cat men have been begging for Jim to help stifle our support of Rudy.
Then when we comment on how these weenies are yelping about our support of a Republican they don't like, we're told that we're playing the victim card.
Come now...I've seen dozens of posts alluding to it. Allusions to the notion that supporting Rudy might lead to a ban, that this site has gone downhill and no longer relies on research, that some posters have "immunity", etc. Clearly it's a persecution complex.
But there is a large segment of FReepers that would just as soon see us gone.
I suspect the evolution folks would like to see creationists gone, and vice versa. The Terri Schiavo factions would like to see the other side gone. But until Jim actually starts banning people, what difference does it make? With the exception of Jim and the mods, individual posters have no control over who is banned and who stays.
