"...would you mind identifying who "these same people" are, and post a link to where that specific intent was stated?"

What an amazingly disingenious thing to say. The wish to "shut down" FR because AFers believe it to be a "scam" and send JR "to jail" is all over your TTC and AFWAA sites. Better start the purge...

I'm coming into this late, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents. When you said that Arator was an anti-freeper, I was surprised... because as long as I've known Mark, he has never been one of them, even after everything he's been through. Just posting on those sites doesn't make one an anti-freeper. (If that were the case, then I guess appy-pappy, lazamataz, harrowup, Deb and other freepers are 'AF-ers')

There is a difference between banned Freepers who may disagree w/ your policies.... and hateful anti-FReepers whose goal is bring down Free Republic.

Personally, I wish all of those people who wish to "bring down" FR would just get a life and go away. Their obsession is unhealthy. (Remember...its just the internet, folks! Get a grip!)
