Lotsa people got banned this weekend. I don’t know where the latest list is but here’s one from last night:

[Kevmo]

So people who don’t believe in certain things should be banned from here???
If the things they don’t believe in are FR’s founding principles, then they should at least tread lightly. If they believe the primary way to relate to the Founders’ legacy is by viewing through the lens of thier worst moral failures, they should be shown the door.
***Very eloquently stated, thank you. Bump for later reference after such a strange weekend in Free Republic.

[Kevmo]

Yup. I couldn’t even keep up on that thread. Every time I refreshed there were 200 more posts. A watershed day. There are going to be some ill feelings after the surgery but eventually the healing will happen.

Thanks Jim... Needs to be said, over and over...

This message needed to be posted - by you. Thank you, Jim.

[Mr. Silverback]

Seeing Central Scrutinizer go gives me a warm glow in my heart. What a sad little bigot that guy is.

Has this event been given a name in Freeper lore yet? Maybe we could call it the Sunday Night Massacre. :-)

[Mr. Silverback]

Thank you!

[Kevmo]

Be careful how you speak about the presumed departed. I think CS was put on the list because of a misspelling. He’s still here with us, well maybe not for long...

[Mr. Silverback]

You make a good point, but I have called him a bigot to his face several times, ever since he maintained in a thread about the show “Book of Daniel” that if Christians contact a broadcast company and complain about a show they are violating the Constitution. He would not be surpirsed by my post.

[Kevmo]

CS, why would you put up with a direct personal attack if it was not true? What’s the deal? Perhaps you should explain yourself during this interesting time for freepers. Why would someone like that hang around a forum of social conservatives unless it’s just to stir up trouble?

[Central Scrutiniser]

Still here.

Too bad you have to quash speech to feel good. Really full of that freedom and liberty ain’t ya?

I got you on ignore now, I ain’t feeding the trolls.

[TAdams8591]

Right. It was before he was married.

[Mr. Silverback]

The only reason I would quash your speech is the same reason I support zotting our visitors from stormfront and DU: Bigots don't belong on FR. I fully support your right to act like a hateful idiot, but hope that JimRob exercises his right to refrain from having you do it here.

BTW, I had at least a couple of nice, civil conversations today with Freepers who are also atheists and also disagree with me about social issues. The difference is that they discussed matters like men, instead of hating like trolls.

Looking forward to the day you ride the lightning,
Silverback

[Central Scrutiniser]

I am not an atheist, as much as you want me to be, so that you can make simplistic attacks.

As for hateful idiots, I hear there is one lurking in your mirror....

[Mr. Silverback]

Sorry I mistook you for an atheist. You can't blame me though. It's hard to tell the God-fearing bigots who hate Christians from the godless bigots who hate Christians.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Sorry that you have to use Jesus as your hit-man against whatever you disagree with.

I’m sure Jesus would probably slap you in the face.

Sorry I mistook you for the Taliban, You can’t blame me though, its hard to tell the GOD fearing bigots who hate chritians from the godless bigots who hate the christians.

Go back to church, and let God do the judging, He knows the job, not you.

[MHGinTN]

Discernment and judging are not the same thing, CS. God will judge, Christians are told to discern the spirit of that which they meet in life.

[Mr. Silverback]

Hey, that's funny...where are all those anti-Christian cartoons that used to be on your profile page? Are you afraid somebody might bring them up in response to something you posted, perhaps something like...

Go back to church, and let God do the judging, He knows the job, not you.

Well, after a little help from Google, the only thing I can say is:

"Physician, heal thyself."

[Mr. Silverback]

Discernment and judging are not the same thing, CS. God will judge, Christians are told to discern the spirit of that which they meet in life.

I discern that he's running from what he used to display proudly, either because of JimRob's Saturady Night massacre II or because of little old me. Look at post 498 and the Google cache link therein, and then look at his profile page now. Oops!

[Kevmo]

You’re pretty mean-spirited. If you’re that unhappy here, I’m sure there are other places where you would feel more comfortable. Why stick around? What’s the point?
