Jim Rob made it clear why he banned TlbShow.

I do not know that former FReeper, nor do I care to defend him. I do not think that people should be banned for silly or spurious reasons, but in a place such as this, you are going to have people banned. That just makes sense. I saw that TBL guy around the site a few times, and it is clear that he made a few waves. The fact of the matter is, I sometimes make waves too. I happen to think that that is healthy and not neccesarily a bad thing.

Someday, I may start my own popular website, and I would hope to manage it the way that I think it should be done. In the interim, I post on FR.com, and I try to abide by the constraints imposed by the initiators of the site. It is their yard, and they certainly are entitled to make the rules. The rules may suck sometimes, but we are all free to create our own little on line republics if we are so inclined.

Meanwhile,on this web site that allows me to express ny sometimes contrary opinions, it seems to me to be a bit onerous that you would present a purported dialogue which includes a banned FReeper. I do not think that it is a nice thing to hit a man when he is down. That is just me though. I might just be deviant.
