I'm sorry, having struggled through many of A+Bert's posts, one would be hard pressed to call thme "enlightened" His views could be summarized as: "Israel is bad. Jews are biased. Shahids or homicide bombers are misunderstood, and America's support for that little democracy, Israel, that oasis of prosperity surrounded by a barren spiritual and cultural wasteland is misguided." Bert was banned because he couldn't disagree without being disagreeable. It's one thing to make a point, and quite another to threaten other posters.

He was only obnoxious when he was drunk. Maybe JimRob will let him freep again if he installs a BAC monitor on his computer that shuts down when he is above .25.

Or, as they say outside of FR, he'd been around too long. There seems to be a thing about FR from what I've read elsewhere. If you've been outspoken for a good while, the "Lords" begin to take notice of you. Anyone who develops a following no matter the motivation is not allowed to remain a member of FR. It seems that if someone begins to be too popular, that person is soon removed.
