This poster has only a limited experience in this subject. One day I was particularly incensed about what our President was (in my opinion that day) doing to demolish the GOP.
I was pretty irritated. I think I made that clear in my post. Got a couple of responses in agreement, actually. And then...
That post, and the entire thread, suddenly vanished.
I freaked. (remembering as I write that, that old song about about the diner called Eats, Sit and Go: “the guy sitting next to me ... was a Martian!”) But I digress. :)
I was not notified that I was aware of. I was rather concerned perhaps I might not be able to log on next time. Happily that didn’t happen.
A lot of posters were getting posts vaporized, and getting banned during the controversy surrounding the amnesty proposals.
Seems to have calmed down now. I think that means we need to all get that worked up ... about leftists!!
The problem with your testimonial is that I don’t know if it is a result of your own post being deleted, or if it is a result of the entire thread being deleted.
I remember about 5 years ago there was some major shakeups here on FR about people being banned. These were people that were longtime members. I know they were trying to form a competing site separate from FR. I don’t know what happened about that. I don’t know if that ever happened.
I used to go to the ABC news bulletin board alot back then just to attack the liberal idiots about their anti war stance. There was a guy retired from the airforce that called himself “dogs-of-war”, and his wife was “barbie” that frequented that site. I guess they started their own site. I think they called it “dogs of war”. But I don’t know for sure. He may have been a member here too at that time, I just can’t remember.
I think I first got attracted to this site by a fella that goes by “shooter25” or something like that. I don’t remember if I met him through dogs-of-war or what. It’s all fuzzy. I didn’t get into online discussions untill 9-11 happened.
