“I hardly think my response was “snarky”. “
I’m sure you don’t.
“You think it is “Freepercide” - fine.I happen to think diferently.”
Then you didn’t read the thread and the statements made directly to Jim Rob.
“If I have ofended your sensibilities - well, that is okay too, I guess.”
Hardly. It is you who seems to be sensitive to the fact that the Rudy supporters were banned because they just couldn’t control their enthusiasm and just HAD to ‘make their point’. Well it was made. And they lost.
“I hate the celebratory tone that is taken every time that someone is gone - for whatever reason or rationalization. But I have come to know some of these people over years and thousands of comments.” -
I’ve been here from the beginning and from what I’ve read of some of the posters who are ‘celebrating’, it seemed a well deserved critique of how they had been treated.
“For you to judge them over their last how-ever-many posts is patently wrong. It is sad. It is wrong. It is punitive. And it is telling.” -
I judge them, as I see them. When someone tells me “If you don’t support Rudy, and Hillary becomes president, then it will be YOUR FAULT! if you don’t vote for him”, then I have a tendency to take a little offense to that. Apparently, my ‘choices’ are fine as long as they agree with THEIRS. Sounds a little bit PC and ‘liberal’ to me.
“The witch hunt must stop. It must. If you wish to flush out those who think “differently” you will find only an echo chamber left behind. Tell me that isn’t wrong.”
It would be wrong, if it were true. But it’s not. You have it backwards. No one here, from all the posts I’ve read, started a ‘witch hunt’ against the Rudy supporters. They, by there own writings and attitudes, managed to get themselves banned from this site. You don’t think they committed Freepercide, but that only tells me that you either didn’t read all the posts and comments made by them, or you just don’t care because, after all, ‘Can’t we all just get along?’.
“They hate the far-left, the liberalism that threatens our immediate well-being. And, I must say this, despite my hesitancy to speak for others.”
Yes. They may hate the liberalism that threatens our security or, as you put it, our ‘immediate well-being’. But what of future childrens well-being? The 3000 daily abortions. They don’t count? How about gun control? That type of ‘liberalism’ isn’t a threat to our well-being?
Their argument were ‘we’ll just worrry about that later’. What if there is no ‘later’ because a democrat Congress passes even stricter gun control and a ‘liberal’ Rudy signs it into law? Impossible you say? If so then your dreaming.
“Please, call for a stop to this nonsense.”
I’ve read the rest of you post, and it’s nothing more than a repeat of what you’ve said before.
If you want to stop the ‘nonsense’, as you put it, then maybe you should talk to some of your ‘friends’ that just can’t seem to stop theirs.
Every story has two sides. And you seem only inclined to believe one of them.
I probably won’t be here for your reply, because I have to work. But it doesn’t matter because until you can come back and tell me that you’ve read through this thread and gotten the ‘whole’ picture of what went on, then replying to me would be a waste of my time and yours.
I find that you seem to have this ‘noble’ idea that no matter our differences, some hear should just ‘shut up and take it’.
The owner of this site isn’t going to ‘shut up and take it’, and neither am I and many more here.
If we couldn't do that, this thread would have 150 posts instead of 15,000.

Hey Big—You post to LL is right on. If he doesn’t get it by now then it says more about him then it does FR. The one thing you said that was so 100% right on about LL is this comment here: “I find that you seem to have this ‘noble’ idea that no matter our differences, some hear should just ‘shut up and take it’.” Exactly right. I find LL's thinking similar to how liberals think—do as I say, not as I do. They like to tell people how to behave but for some reason they don't think the rules apply to them.
LL, it’s time for you quit your nonsense here—no one is buying it. Here's some good advice for you LL, it's the same advice you've been giving us. Let me just use your very own words, “Please, call for a stop to this nonsense". Good advice you give. Now, go tell all your friends this and stop spending so much time here telling us to “shut-up" because it ain’t gonna happen. If you don’t like how it is here at FR then go play at your new playground at WA.
