2. White is NOT a member of the TRT or the coalition of FReepers who were there last Sunday. He may have popped up at other FReeps, regardless, we FReepers cannot control his behavior nor have the power to "ban" him from places open to the general public. To insinuate otherwise is rather evil of you.
I will refer you to one of your very own threads Operation Infinite FReep Day 2 - TRT commando units continue assault on "Gun Control al-Qaeda"..., wherein you list Bill White and his anti-semite sign holding cohort in the TRT honor roll for the day.
You posted the following...
Tyranny Response Team (TRT) patriots victorious after two days of intense FReeping in the heart of Cleveland Park (zip code 20008) - "Clintonista country!!"
Honor Roll (11-17-01): drZ, Mister X, Ravens Warlord, AntiTyrant, Ed McGarry, jaumemoto, Bill White, secamend, secamend's daughter and granddaughter, Hail Caesar, plus others I may have forgotten to list here.
Though we had assumed that this beautiful and mild "Indian Summer" day would be a contributing factor to the relatively low patriot turnout, we knew we could count on a few of our most dedicated minutemen to show up anyway.
And if that's not enough to justify my concern, here are a few pictures that you posted on the same TRT thread...(I've saved them to a disk in case they are "lost" from your freehosting site)
Banned FReeper Jaumemoto on left, holding megaphone
Banned FReeper Bill White holding "Gun rights are civil rights" sign
You call banned FReeper Bill White a "Patriot" in this close-up picture of him at your TRT event
Banned FReeper "jaumemoto" is third from left in this picture you took
So should I listen to what you say, that White isn't a TRT member, and that he just shows up, and that you can't control what he does... or should I look at your past posts and pictures and come to a reasonable conclusion that because you have captioned one of your pictures of him as a Patriot, that White is okay by you?
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade here. The Santa protest was a great success, and the FReepers (in good standing) who were there are to be commended for upholding the good name of FR by their peaceful protest. However, I am disturbed by the fact that, after Bill White was ejected by popular vote of the crowd for his anti-semitic sign waving, the little fellow who was with him holding that sign ("jaumemoto") slithered over into the midst of the FReepers, unbeknownst to them; and as "FR event coordinator" you did nothing to alert the good FReepers that a banned FReeper had entered our group. The folks that I alerted did move away from the guy and had no interaction with him. As "FR coordinator," I think you should have made that fact known to all FReepers there. And because you didn't do that, I again wonder if you think that "jaumemoto" is an okay guy, too.
So go ahead, HC... continue to call me names, make disparaging remarks about whether I'm a lady or not, and call my concerns a personal grudge against whoever. The facts speak for themselves. I care more about FR, its goals and its reputation than I do about a few nasty comments flung my way. And so long as Bill White and his followers are tolerated (sometimes even lauded) by events you coordinate, I will absent myself from those events.
This is childish. Why do you insist on trying to smear the Tyranny Response Team? What has the TRT ever done to make it enemy #1 in your book?
Is it because it serves as a constant reminder as to how the pro-gun establishment in Maryland has failed for years on end (not because it hasn't tried ... but because it dares not try anything new)?
I'd really like to know why you have this hangup where you feel compelled to demonize the TRT at every opportunity.
