NOBODY was banned for supporting Rudy, they were banned for dismissing the conservative agenda.

I haven’t quit FR even though I’ve had enough of the anti-McCain clowns and their tired, self-absorbed rantings.

A lot of long time FReepers have been banned, and of my FRiends that are no longer welcome here, none of them supported Rudy. I would just like to see a reconsideration of banned accounts.

Here I am trying to be reasonable again ... most of the Rudybots were downright ugly and deserved to be banned. Others did everything they could to get banned. Have you reviewed the longs threads lately?
If you miss them that much, there are places to find many of them. Since some of them are your 'good friends' and you are not precluded from communicating with them without FR, why subject everyone else to the venom that they spew when riled?
Additionally, many of them have reappeared and been banned for the second, third and subsequent times. Let them plead their own cases if they want to come back that badly.

I'd say no. Most of them got banned for being bomb-throwing jerks. Same as with all the purges. You'd think that when you're on someone else's website, you'd tread lightly when you have a major disagreement with the owner, one that extends from his deepest convictions.
Nope, not most of the Giuliani/Paul/whoever else supporters. Civil discourse was beneath most of them, and now they cry on their blogs and forums about being banned? I say let them stay there.

Heck, I think any McCain supporters who act the same way ought to be banned, too.

Why? So they can advocate for Rudy as McCain’s VP?

And lest anyone pretend otherwise, let's not forget that BEFORE any of them were banned they had already formed an anti-FReeper site. They made it clear that they didn't want to be here. The fact that WAnkerville isn't working out the way they wanted it to isn't Jim's fault.

WOW — 18,430 post on Jim’s Rudy/Socialism thread.
To: ken5050
does anything prevent the banned conservatives from reregistering under a new account and simply behaving themselves under the rules and principles of the site?
I thought most of those banned were campaign workers, professional viral advertisers, or liberals pushing left wing causes.

I don’t think “amnesty” is a fortunate choice of words.

BTTT! right on, wagglebee. Why let the wolves back in to guard the hens?

I suspect some have signed back up with different screen names, judging by the nastiness of the posts and recent sign-up dates.
To: Jim Noble
I'm guessing Jim got fed up with the Candi-Freepers who signed up only recently to pimp there candidate.
To: EternalVigilance
Ah, thank you. No wonder I don’t remember this going down... I was in Asia on business.
18,430 posts? Whoa! Is that a record?

If they come back, they will just start recruiting for WAnkerville again and complaining that conservatives have “had their foot on the throat” of the GOP for too long.
