An open letter to Jim Robinson: Consider a general amnesty for all the banned Rudy supporters....

Dear Jim..OK, the GOP now has its candidate. McCain isn't the first choice of the majority of us on FR, and even now, there are spirited, yet for the most part, civil exchanges on the threads as to whether or not some will support the GOP nominee. One of the more unfortunate, and unpleasant events on FR was the mass banishment and/or leaving of a great many Freepers who were supporters of Rudy Guliani for the nomination. I'm posting this to see if you'd be open to the idea of inviting them to return, and see how others might feel about this.

Let me be very clear. This is your website, you set the rules, and I never questioned your right to take the course you did.
But I, like many others still here, miss the contact, and the comments of many good friends we'd made over the years, and I know (from my contacts with them) they they also have missed FR.
So, is there a way that we can start anew?

First, we must banish all McCain supporters, then find a new party.

Why grant amnesty? It comes back to bite you in the behind?

Weird. I supported Rudy and I am still here. Maybe it was something else they did.

Yeah, we need more people threatening to report us to the Secret Service, and cursing at Jim, and insulting Ronald Reagan, and advocating abortion, and calling conservatives vile names......
Aren’t the existing McCainiacs bad enough?

I think you are exactly right. It was the contempt for conservatism that was their problem.

But why would they want to come back? I’ve been (unjustly) banned from one site recently, and I have no interest in ever going there again.

I would say it depends if they were
Candi-Freepers, who signed up only recently and only to pimp their candidate. ...campaign workers.
But, you said it, it's up to da boss.

One of the more unfortunate, and unpleasant events on FR was the mass banishment and/or leaving of a great many Freepers who were supporters of Rudy Guliani for the nomination. I do not remember a single FReeper being banned for supporting Rudy, what I remember was that nearly all of them were banned because they were pushing a liberal agenda or complaining that conservatives had "their feet on the neck" of the GOP for too long.
Plus, Jim has let a lot of them come back, but some were so nasty toward the end I wonder what purpose would be served.

Curious.
Could you list the names of some that you are referring to?...

You need to remember that those who were banned were not banned for supporting Rudy. They were banned for promoting liberal causes in their support of Rudy. This is a conservative website. Those who promote liberalism would be happier elsewhere. Jim just helped them on their path to happiness! : )
