I do miss you (when you are the good Arator rather than the plaintive one), and of course Clarity (who had certain Neo-con tendencies bless him, and was as smart as a whip, but then he was a lawyer :) ). Cheers, and all the best.
I miss you too, Torie. What, you are a "he"? I always thought you were a "she". LOL.
Anyway, it's great FReepers like you that have kept me coming back to FR despite the abuse. But, my last thread pulling and banishment was simply the last straw. I will not waste my time with this site if I (and others) are not free to post their views here. Life is too short to put up with such unmitigated crap.
I tried my best to change things here, to no avail. I give up. Jim Rob can let his forum die a slow death of strangulation by censorship if he wants. It's his forum to rule or ruin. It always has been. All I know is that I personally can no longer tolerate being abused, bullied, censored, or banished by him or his "Anonymoderator" thugs. Nor can I tolerate watching my FReeper friends being likewise abused.
Free Republic is not the only conservative forum out there. Given its draconian censorship policies, it is not even the best one anymore. It's time for all freedom-loving FReepers to demand an end to the abuse here and be prepared to move on to better forums if the abuse continues. I am. I simply am not going to put up with it anymore.
