I have found the answer. Our friend is back from the Freeper graveyard, a banned account revived. Consider the evidence, his own words from thread 791503:

Sinkspurt,I repeat, in the years that I have been positng on this forum, you have never answered any of my questions.
Unless you reveal your previous incarnation, (which you lost because you were banned), I must assume you've only been here eleven days.
You can't, you don't have the intellect to do so.
I don't know you, and you don't know me, since you've only been here eleven days.
If you're back from the FReeper graveyard, tell us who you were so we can make a judgement. DH.

I would like the record to show I outed him in under 7 minutes! :) I'm not an authority on anything, but I'm fast . . . .

Wow!

Well, can I post thoughts that might be construed as anti Bush or anti republican or possibly ideas that don't agree with Jim Robinson. I have seen such postings and the poster was banned. What is acceptable? Did you take my advice and count the number of pro/con GOP threads? If not you are just being willfully obtuse. I think the REAL problem is that when a thread is posted describing Bush and the GOP as a nest of socialists more dangerous than the democrats the thread is not allowed to go unchallenged. The one thing you and your friends cannot abide is having to actually debate your assertions so you resort to squeals of censorship.

Is the Freeper Graveyard sort of like Freeper Island, only different?

I have been lurking on this forum since early 1998 and I still don't know what is allowed and what is not allowed. I have seen posters banned for refusing to accept that republicans are the only people to vote for when I know that some republicans are the least desireable candidate. I have seen posters banned because they have disagreed with Jim Robinson. I have read the preface on what this forum is all about but I continue to see posters banned for simply expressing their ideas. I just want to be careful.

Let's say that you have been a lurker for a very long time, as you have not been a member of FR for very long, you must admit. If you had, you would know better than to replay for the umteenth time the same old tired boilerplate about FreeRepublic becoming a "thought police state" etc. and so on. Why? because you would have seen the many, many, many previous examples of various complainant's rationales, and their almost immediate and complete factual refutation by veteran members of FR.
You are not being censored. Your First Ammendment rights are not being trampled. You have the perfect right to post on the web. No one here is stopping you. You are even free to start your own political web site. This is not censorship because FR is private and independent, and is not a government run or subsidized enterprise. It was founded and is run, funded with voluntary contributions, by an LLC established by Jim Robinson. There are rules and guidelines that are to be adhered to, without which FR would certainly descend into the kind of pointless vile spamming and profane gridlock of bickering we have all seen happen with other, less conscientiously moderated, political web sites and Usenet forums. The FreeRepublic is hardly a "party line" organ of propaganda; if you had spent any time here at all, you would have witnessed quite a number of spirited discussions, debates, arguments, and variety of opinion regarding just about every topic ever discussed by sentient beings. But, that does not include "disruption," - abuse, deliberate baiting and antagonism, spamming, hacking, use of profanity, ad hominem attacks, racial slurs, etc. etc. etc. None of these activities could be regarded as free political speech, unless your aim were to destroy the atmosphere of logical and healthy debate we so cherish here. Those who engage in aforesaid "disruption" of this website are the guilty parties in the issue of the violation of the First Ammendment guarantees of free, political speech.
Perhaps I should save this post and use it as a standard reply to the routine boilerplate accusations of censorship we see here periodically. What do you think, Jim?

To: fifteendogs
Why are you so concerned about being banned... Why are you chomping to be controversial?
Are you here because you basically like conservative ideas and want to talk to like-minded people, or are you here because you disagree with conservatism and want to shake things up? That is the question.
To: unfairCENSOR
Awwwww, figures. I go shopping and I miss all this fun.

as you have not been a member of FR for very long, you must admit
But read my post 301 above. Our friend is LYING about this. He's saying to us "help I'm new here, please tell me what it's all about" while a week ago he was attacking a Freeper and revealing himself to have been previously in many Freep debates with that Freeper.
So one thing we know about our supposedly "new" Freeper: he's lying about being new.

I have been lurking on this forum since early 1998 If you have been "lurking" that long and still don't understand what can and cannot be said then you either have real comprehension problems OR you have an agenda so far out there that Art Bell would probably call you nuts.
To: FreeTheHostages
Well stated. Folks from Zod will be ultra pleased.
To: Texasforever
Per post 301, 15dogs told us last week "in the years that I have been positng on this forum"
But today, for present purposes, he claims only to be lurking.
That's not what he said last week before this all came up, per my post 301. His "help I'm new what are the rules" is not genuine. He's previously posted for years, he's said so himself. And now, upon discovery, even now, he tries to weasel into "lurking." Uh-uh, last week he said "posting."
