BTW, tex -- I'd like to ask Jim Rob to reinstate Demidog this weekend, when I'll (hopefully) have time to shepherd this thread for a little while. If you have a list of FReepers who would support this petition, let me know via FReepMail. Thanks/

Sadly, even if you could find an entire list of Freepers that were willing to sign a petition to reinstate Demidog, it would not help. I would be willing to sign it, of course, but it would be nothing but window dressing. FR's administration is out of control now and until the "newness" of the banishment button wears off, there's nothing any of us can do.

Demidog is a spirited debater. He has his enemies. Right now, those enemies have the ear of Jim and the faceless banishment "buttoneers". They got Rivero too. Anybody that does not express a burning desire to lob five hundred billion dollars' worth of ordinance at a wandering camel herd in the far East is suspect around here nowadays.

I don't thing ANYBODY agrees with Demidog a hundred percent of the time. Not even fifty. But to my knowledge he's never broken the written rules around here. His detractors certainly have though. Just before he was banned Imberedux (aka CSAZ) started a thread that totally violates the rules. One is not supposed to take arguments across threads, remember? The thread still stands with it's 90+ replies. Why was Demidog banned you ask? Because that's the way the "rules" are right now. They could change without notice, and will.

I will be banned for posting this. The new Hitler youth has been looking for an excuse to pull the botton on me anyways. I guess this is the one. Farewell everyone.

I join you in asking Jim to reinstate Demidog. Even promote him to Fulldog.

I am aware of the views he recently expressed on the War on Terrorism and disagree with them. His was not disruptive or unreasonable in stating his views; he listened and responded to criticism. In that, he was a model Freeper. If we don't have posts that amount to an advocacy for dissolution of national sovereignty (I am stating this carefully because it is my interpretation of his views), then we can't refute that mistaken view.

Naturally, I agree...
