I seem to remember you had a forum of your own and had real trouble with it.

Oh yes, a world of trouble. Part time hosting with software which gives the host no ability to thwart or stop multiple ID's trolls intent on burning the place down is a very hard job. In fact, I (at considerable cost to my own reputation among the FReeper diaspora) apologized to Jim Rob for the harshness of my former critique due to the experience.

I even enjoyed a few months of undisturbed FReeping bliss afterwards.

But then war fascism descended on the forum, my threads were pulled again, I was banished for raising a protest, and then permanently banished for suggesting to Jim Rob that a rogue moderator (the one who banished me with a completely over the top and insulting admonition) may be causing him and his forum some embarrassment.

Be that as it may. Jim Robinson is very generous to let you (and Me) stay on this forum.

Yes, indeed, if you can call a man who repeatedly invites you into his house, feeds you a good meal, and then always ends the evening by repeatedly kicking you in the nuts generous. The evening-ending groin kick kind of takes the luster off the good meal and good fellowship which preceded it. You know what I mean?

Now, having foolishly "enjoyed" many such evenings, if the groin-kicker invited you back to dinner, would you go?

That's the dilemma I face now that I am unbanned. Needless to say, I am decidedly ambivalent about the invitation.

ROFL!! This reminds me of the "Tater incident". Remember that?

HAHAHAHA!!!

"Fascism...rogue moderator...groin kick..."

Do you ever read the words you write? You seem like an intelligent person, so why such hyperbolic nonsense about an Internet site that wouldn't allow you to post?

You wrote, way back in post 519 of this thread:

Since, barring significant changes in FR's moderation policies, this will be my last post to FR, I leave you all with links to some of my censored samizdat advocating FReeper freedom:

Promises, promises!

FReind. Jim Robinson let me stay here when I acted badly as a new FReeper.

He has let you in time and time again.

"Kicked in the groin"?

I would suggest that you have slapped him in the face a few times.

Ease up. You could always go to Pipebomb News. But it wouldn't be half as satisfying as Free Republic.
