Excuse me, DeadManRunning.

Aren't you the banned former Freeper by the name of Francisandbeans?

Aren't you the same individual who now spends much of your day on LibertyPost commisserating with the AFers?

I think it is important that other Freepers know that you are doing this on that board.

I think other Freepers should now question your motives for getting in bed with these AFers.

I am not saying you are an AFer, but you know the old adage about sleeping with dogs......

I also have no idea why you were banned either but it just strikes me as odd that you would attempt to re-register after being banned, for whatever reason, and then decide to surrepticiously attempt to harm FreeRepublic.

I'm one of those oldtimers on FR and I've seen folks come and go. I've never understood why bannees continue to come back and do the same stuff over and over again.

JimRob has proven himself to be an unbelievable patient (IMHO - too patient!) man with folks like you.

Negative attention is still attention.

Yep that's me!

Comisserating is not the word I would use. Arguing with them would be more appropriate.

I think it is important that other Freepers know that you are doing this on that board.

And if they do, I wish them to search where I showed my doubts about the abilities of FR mods to John Rob...and where JohnRob proved me wrong and where I made a total fool of mojo...thank you very much.

Getting in bed with them? No thanks. I have never been anything but honest about my misgivings about this place...and I have also been in the position where I have had to defend things here. I like to beleive that I am independant about these things and base my opinions on reason and logic.

I also have no idea why you were banned either but it just strikes me as odd that you would attempt to re-register after being banned, for whatever reason, and then decide to surrepticiously attempt to harm FreeRepublic.

I was banned for having it out with a moderator. Regarding my new screen name...I reregistered with the intent of staying in touch with freepers whom I still like and respect. I really didn't plan on posting again until Jim took what I considered an unfair shot at a competing forum. Jim is well aware of this screen name...and if he wishes to ban me, that would be fine.

I don't want to bring harm to the forum...what I do want to see though is a little more upfrontness about what is going on with the forum. I don't care about the personaility conflicts that go on in your back rooms (eg. Bobj/Cal), but it does bother me that it took a blow up between these 2 folks for it to be revealed to the forum that there was a huge loss on the innagural ball and that the freepers who didn't attend were paying for it. That is something that needs to be brought up...so those that commit errors or fleecing will be les inclined to do so in the future.

JimRob has proven himself to be an unbelievable patient (IMHO - too patient!) man with folks like you.

Like I said before...if Jim wants to ban this name, I would totally understand. It's his site, etc, etc. However, there are people attached to this site and to him that I care about and I would hate to see them dragged through the mud because of a general lack of disclosure.
