Pardon me, but pshaw to that. You're a Freeper in long-standing, and you head the ping list for zotted "trolls." When you ping your list it's loaded with flashy graphics and remarks on why said zottee was banned. People take you at your word and rejoice when the air is cleansed.
That's a fairly significant power. Why not check out the posting history to make sure if the zottee was legit or not before dancing on their grave? A lot of erudite posters have been hit by lightning from mods with itchy trigger fingers and posters hitting abuse against someone who rails against their "pet" issue. Genuine conservatives have been zotted from this site for promoting right-wing politicians in a respectful manner (Santorum, anyone?); for hailing the value of human life over animal life; for promoting pro-life policies, but being anti-global war; even way-back-when, for being anti-illegal immigration, anti-Rove or anti-Bush; and now for being against the homosexual agenda which is part of a greater leftist anti-family agenda. Does that sound conservative, consistent or even sane to you?
If you have enough pull on this site not only to run a banned-poster ping list but also to state WHY THEY WERE BANNED you can't just dismiss it as, "I just ping the list; I don't zot."
Have you ever researched the zottee's posts and remarked, "Well, thanks for the alert on the zot, but maybe somebody jumped the gun on that one. I'll ping the list and see what everybody else thinks about it [instead of telling them what to think]."?
If a poster is a genuine troll, it's easy to tell who true disruptors are. Scottjewell was a "newbie" but if he was a "pro-homo troll" he sure was going about it oddly. (That's what you called him in your ping, isn't it?) There's a current poster who posts on homoagenda threads, and I know he's a flaming-troll because of his exaggerated, hysterical invectives. That guy should be gone; not scottjewell. So how about wagglebee, littlejeremiah, DBeers, massmike, scripter and countless others who have posted articles and comments against the pro-homosexualization of society?
Scott's comment on the BSA now being viewed like the Catholic church due to molestation charges was not pro-homo or anti-Catholic; it stated an opinion. He posted a lot of relevant articles on that certain issue, articles that came from both right and left outlets (know your enemy, right?). His posts were always informative, supportive of true marriage, never sarcastic or intended to have a double meaning. If that's what a troll is defined as, then this site needs more trolls like him.
On second thought, I have just come to the epiphany that this site does not practice what it preaches. So what's the point? Carry on.
Perhaps you should clarify this.
Are you suggesting that those of us who OPPOSE the homosexual agenda should be banned from Free Republic?

I see that your FR join date is 2004, but your posting history is somewhat sparse. I've got to wonder what anti-FReeper sites you frequent.
There is banning and there is suspension. In Scotts case which was it?
If you have a problem with the decision by the Mods to ban a FReeper, you’ll have to take it up with the Mods. TOL is only the messenger.
What is ironic is that the people criticizing the Boy Scouts for this are the same ones demanding that homosexuals be allowed to take little boys to the woods overnight....
ahem...
Hmm. Since posting the truth about homosexuality never results in getting banned here at FR, there must be additional information you're missing.
Yes, I have been here for a long time, but I do not throw that up in anyone's face, nor do I use it for influencing anyone. It is interesting that you would accuse me of doing so.
If you want to have someone reinstated, contact the mods and plead your case.
If you want to have someone zotted, contact the mods and plead your case.
They are the ones who evaluate the posts of targeted FReepers, and they are the only ones who can help you.

And so on. Scottjewell published a lot of CNN, Gay Star News, etc. articles here on Free Republic, and then in a rather typical concern-troll fashion, he proceeded to argue against what he had posted. That is a common tactic here; it shouts out the homosexual agenda, and the mods and troll watchers are very familiar with it.
And "Scottjewell?" That is a man's name combined with a woman's name. A lot of trolls cannot help leaving clues like that in their names.
Plus, n00bs are usually very reticent about posting a lot of articles. The smart ones lurk and learn the culture here before diving in with such a giant belly flop.
But if you want scottjewell back that bad and want to read all that homosexual material, please do petition the mods and present your case.
