I have made no threat of asking you to be banned either.

I don’t understand why that came up in your replies to me.

That’s hardly fair to Jim.

Just because some people have decided that “playing nice” is an exercise in futility at this point doesn’t mean you should reconsider supporting FR because of them.

This is their [and my] opinion and does not reflect upon FR as a whole.
[which is plainly stated in the TOS]

The site is not monolithic, nor are its posters.

*Because*, generally speaking, when a poster resorts to involving Jim in petty disagreements, the usual desired result is the removal of the ‘offensive’ poster.

I’ve seen it happen *many* times and if it’s *my* time, I’m fine with that.

I've requested no action from Jim. I only want to know the acceptable limits for his web site. I will decide only my own actions on that information.

I disagree (obviously). We have thousands of ways to get our message out without claiming the property of others as our personal billboards.

This is their [and my] opinion and does not reflect upon FR as a whole. [which is plainly stated in the TOS]

Just as we have agreed in the past the Free Republic does not exist to promote personal web sites, I do not and will not support FR to promote vandalism of private property. In no way is this part of any of the anti-FReeper sites; I have not and will not participate there.

The site is not monolithic, nor are its posters.

Of course not. If we all agreed on everything, there would be no discussion and the site would perish. However, the site does have its limits. I am trying to learn the limits in this area.

I did not copy Jim in any response concerning you.

In effect, you did:

“To: null and void; Jim Robinson

Jim,

Is Free Republic to be a site to promote vandalism of private property, as long as the “cause” is great enough?

If Null goes down, so will I.

That’s how it goes.

You have to do what you think is right.

*I* have to go tend to daily living stuff right now.

Husbands and animals make no allowances for online disagreements.

When they want fed, they want fed.

Can someone refute these ‘facts’ regarding Obama’s supposed innocence with respect to the price of fuel? SEE LINK BELOW

Just as a purely philosophical debate, you do realize that our founders not only defaced the property of others (Tea Party much?), they lined up sight pictures on fellow human beings and pulled the trigger, for something they believed in? In retrospect, they were right to do so.

Freedom isn’t free, and part of the reason it is disappearing is that today we refuse to acknowledge an easily observed fact. Liberals are our enemy. Every bit as much as if they were Al Qaida, maybe more. Those third world meatsticks couldn’t even make a dent in American Greatness, but the modern Liberal is going to literally plunge us into a major economic collapse, probably within two decades, due directly to the stupidity of crap like mortgages for people who can’t pay it back, and affirmative action in credit scores. They hate us and screw us at every opportunity, while hiding behind government (and claims to be fellow citizens) like cowards.

Liberals seek to destroy freedom, and enslave the successful under the yoke of the welfarites. Someday, I can almost guarantee some of your descendents will suffer due directly to the actions of Liberals today. They may even die from lack of medical care in a “Post-Greatest Depression” world.

You should give thought to the idea we are still warring for our freedom, the Liberal is our nation’s sworn enemy, and you might have to pick a side in the not-too-distant future, or see our nation collaspe like Rome.

Pretend a Liberal is your equal, and they aren’t your enemy, and you are playing right into their hands as they laugh at you, and destroy your nation - while lauding you for your “high moral standards.”
