Some call me a tyrant. Whatever. I have stated my goals for Free Republic and will defend my right to freedom of speech and freedom of association and freedom to control the direction and content of my own personal property to the death! Those who wish to fight against me on these issues are free to do it elsewhere. I feel no compulsion to provide malcontents a soapbox. Wankers for Rudy McRomey can KMA!!
My feelings are hurt. The troll left me off his spam list.
I cannot wait until this next election cycle. A lot of the trolls and RINOs have been given the boot, which should allow for some good, hometown conservative commentary.
Has Jim Thompson seen this?
OK, so more ankle-biters, but still, if you’re taking flak, you’re over the target.
Bravo Zulu, as always.
Well, to each his (or her) own, I guess, but as one of your “cronies” I think I’ll skip the invite.
If someone is really proud of the work they do in setting up their own board, why wouldn’t they use their real name? And why not just come right out and say what’s bothering them publicly? Opuses have been posted before, and usually they aren’t pulled.
All this seems both sneaky and cowardly.
Who the heck is this moron?
Someone find out.
Even though I'm sitting here in the lunch room all by myself, with nary an invitation from TrueBlue, it can KMA too.
You're a treasure Jim, and you and your family are owed a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.
You’re our Father in Freepdom. I appreciate all you’ve done for conservatism, and continue to do. Probably putting up with us when we get our undies in a knot is the most difficult.
BTW, if you’re a petty tyrant, then you are my favorite petty tyrant. FReep on Freepin on.
Now we can spend the rest of the afternoon trying to figure out who the disgruntled former freeper is.
Golly! I didn’t get one! I feel so....so....LOL. Guess they knew what I’d say.:-)
Jim, I’ve never had a problem with the way you run things. In fact you’ve done an excellent job. You are a true patriot. I figure it’s your website you can do what you darned well please. I totally agree with you. I will never understand this kind of thinking. It’s like owning your own home, someone who doesn’t own the home comes in and doesn’t like the way your doing something or suggests you do something different and when you don’t they get mad. IT’S YOUR FREAKIN HOUSE.
I didn’t get it. I wonder if I should feel bad that I’m not even wanted by the guys setting up the alternative websites.....
Correction. The term was petty tyrant.
I think you need to work your self up from petty tyrant to tyrant. Maybe even acheive Tyrant First Class.
Just sayin'.
/sarc
Something like: "Since Jim Robinson can't accomodate everyone, and prefers to keep Free Republic on the straight and narrow, I've set up [another Website] to accomodate those whose conservatism clashes with his. Fighting roomates often make good neighbours once they're no longer too close to each other. That's who I'm setting up [the other Website] for: good neighbors who don't fit the bill for houseguests."
Hrm....as far as I’m concerned you have to be pretty much an idiot to get banned from FR over an opinion unless that opinion is self evidently a liberal one.
I’ve been freely able to disagree with others here for well over 7 years.
If someone is complaing about getting Zotted...
Well I guess they shouldnt have been so obvious as to not be able to fool a bunch of “stupid conservatives”....
I Love the smell of zots...just about any time of day....
Have a good day JR.
Thanks for hosting.
That didnt stop JimRob from purging all his supporters without warning.

Jim, I think there was at least 15,000 comments on that thread...
it went on for days and weeks...
Thats more than enough warning...
As many of the zottees deliberately challenged you and fell on their own swords, there was no lack of warning..
I didn’t get the email, but maybe that’s because I’m only partially gruntled.
Congrats Jim! Freepers just need to be able to take a little bit of your heat, that’s all.
You just about zotted me because I merely pointed out some potential vulnerabilities to the script linking you all attempted with facebook, but to your unending credit, you did back off on that direction for whatever reason.
Keep on keepin on!
It’s also a cheap way for whoever this is to pimp his new blog. I’ll never go there, I can tell you that.
We all reside here under the grace of Jim Robinson. All these electrons are his to do with as he wants. If he doesn't want you here, you are gone, and I say GOOD RIDANCE.
Dont worry about an opus....just leave.
This place ROCKS.
EAGLES UP !
