Well, first of all, if someone mashes the abuse button, the moderators do not get information about who sent the abuse, which was done intentionally to minimize any personal preferences coming into play.

------------------------------ Dream on, - in most cases, just who pushed the button is obvious, as is any subsequent favoritism.
--- 'Goading & baiting' takes place here on a consistent basis from some authoritarians, who are never censured. -- Even my post here, - in discussing the matter with you, will probably get me in deep doo doo once again. - If so, so be it.

Even my post here, - in discussing the matter with you, will probably get me in deep doo doo once again. - If so, so be it.

If you have any problems, please freepmail me. Your questions and concerns on the matter are legitmate and I will be glad to defend you on this particular matter.

You can't debate me because you don't have the intelligence. You started the attacks on another poster, calling him 'pinhead'.

That's funny - you questioning my intelligence, and then you can't even keep track of what was said on this thread. Show me where I called that poster a pinhead on this thread. I didn't - I called him a pinhead on another thread, and he roundly deserved it - or do you think that the founding fathers are equivalent to terrorists?

And as I told you, "blame America first" is garbage designed to stifle debate. BTW, you never addressed anything Peirce wrote, you just came on the thread to vomit.

I addressed YOUR comments, and you couldn't even stay on topic and refuse to address what I posted in response. So I will revert back to my initial decision, which is that you ain't worth the trouble of responding to. Please feel free to get in one last round of ad hominem attacks, maybe another questioning of my intelligence if you so desire, and while you are at it maybe you could post another anti-capitalism article to really show the forum your true colors. Adios.

All I [and many others] have ever asked of FRs management is a level playing field for our discussions. That 'level field' concept has been a constant bone of contention. In effect you said here, 'ignore such concepts, love FR as is, or leave':

"Since some of you are no longer making contributions to the intellectual exchange here, instead just complaining about what FR is, or has become as you say, why don't you simply do as the earlier malcontents did and go do your own thing elsewhere?" - #43

To me, it is your type of attitude that is the problem, not mine.

LRC is referred to by some Freepers as a "blame America first" site....It is flawed thinking however, to suppose that we are by default, supporters of the left and are not patriotic."

M. Pierce...qui s'excuse, s'accuse. ("He who excuses himself, accuses himself.")

['Goading and baiting']

I refer to that as the "bait and snitch" tactic, employed by a number of the authoritarian clique here. Good to see you back, BTW.

M. Pierce...qui s'excuse, s'accuse. ("He who excuses himself, accuses himself.")

Or, "whoever defends himself, admits guilt". What a stupid concept. You guys are unbelievable.

Great line. -- No doubt I'll be able to use it all to soon. -- Actually, it's been nearly two months now since my big mouth got me a time out. - I've been around, fighting the good fight, just suffering the fools a bit more quitely. Or maybe they backed off a bit.

Have I missed some event? Has something riled them up again?

To me, it is your type of attitude that is the problem, not mine.

You are the one who is unhappy, not me. Catch a clue!

[tpaine]

You complained about VRWC's post #6, at #43.
I then commented on your inaccuracies at #51.

You need a grip on the realities around here, not me.

After 9-11 LRC still registers right up at the top of the Freedom Meter.

FR and WND?

Well that is, unfortunately, quite a different story.

[Cyber Liberty]

LRC?

[Twodees]

I don't think you've missed any event, unless it's one that I missed as well. Actually, the authoritarian pretenders to conservatism here have steadily lost ground since the height of their panic attack in September. They've really become sort of pitiable, in a way. ;-)
