I’m a newbie. It’s Jim’s site. I won’t dictate to anybody what they CAN say.
But, respectfully, I will add my name to yours in asking Jim politely, if he could consider a different use of language.
I’d also like it if, now that we’ve got this out of our system, some level of discipline could be re-instated for “friends of the forum” to not launch personal attacks on every person they disagree with.
I feel it detracts from the conversation. I’ve always bragged that conservatives could be distinguished from democrats by our considered language and discussion of policy over personal attacks, and I think that is true and should remain our greatest weapon.
Having thus said, I’m going to bed, and may not be back here tomorrow. I need a break and the constant barrage of insults is weighing me down.
Thanks to all. And Jim, I was serious, you should consider locking the thread for a few hours if you want to get some sleep. We could all live without if for the evening.
Why are you pinging me? I replied to a different member asking for anything interesting that happened in the last 500 posts.
As far as being out of context, I think the post speaks for itself.
Great chart!
or Gore in 2000 - his home state, but I know you know that. I just like to repeat it any time I can. And he blames his lost on FLA.
Thanks about the M. Thatcher note. I swear that when I checked last night, her account was listed “banned or suspended”, but maybe I was mistaken.
I’m removing her from the list. My list is ONLY those whose names come up “banned or suspended”, not if they’ve opused out. If Jim is making them stay alive here, I’m not putting them on the list.
That’s weird though. Do you think Jim put her back on for a reason, or do you think I just got it wrong?
“But it doesnt. Its just a place to write, we can lock it and unlock it at will. Jim could wake up tomorrow, decide the weather looks nice, and re-instate the world. Its all a virtual place anyway.
I was actually serious, I think some of us could use more sleep, I took a nap today its so bad.”
I wll sacrifice my sleep for yours. We are fighting a battle, far beyond people getting banned, committing freepercide and all that. I understand your thinking on this just being virtual, but so too is the power the left and media has held over others for too long. The sparks and passion for conservatism IMO is in full bloom right now.
I view this as quite simply one of several weapons we (conservatives) have at our disposal to defeat our enemy. I do respect your opinion as well of course. I may not be able to equal your civility (lol), but I will offer to be here in whatever capacity needed.
I checked several times after the notice of her email message, and never saw it as banned or suspended.
Even the great people make mistakes,
So it’s no surprise I could have.
Is Howlin gone? I don’t think that’s right.
Yes it is... and I was asked to post it as a vanity.

Knitting A Conundrum has this thread, I thought was appropriate.
It’s been a wild thread. A lot of names were getting tossed around for who was on the ban list (AKA undocumented freepers) and that’s were it probably got added due to the e-opus.
No Quarter !!
You mean there are other threads on the forum??
We have the initiative, and we must keep it at all costs! By the way, Rudy won’t last that long (lol).
I believe that should be Al Simmons, shouldn’t it?
Thanks for reminding me of the importance of character above self-promotion.
***That’s why I like Hunter. He would make a great president. But getting the candidacy moving is proving more challenging than I first thought. How do you self-promote when you’re not a self-promoter?
