"The suppression of discussion seems real doesn't it?!"

Well this is Jim Robinson's board, and he has the right to take down whatever thread or post he doesn't like. I had a thread about Catholics pulled about a week ago, it was up for less than a minute and it was pulled, not because I said anything negative about Catholics, but I got an e-mail from Jim Robinson basically saying he was afraid it would turn into a Catholic bashing thread like so many had before. I don't blame him, I blame the stupid anti-Catholic idiots on here who wouldn't let legitimate questions of Catholics stand without coming in with their stupid anti-Catholic comments.

I understand that Jim Robinson puts a lot of work and money into FreeRepublic without getting anything tangible in return. I also understand that FR is in constant jeopardy from the mainstream liberal media who can't wait to show proof that FR is anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, and racist. So they have to pull some posts and some threads, they don't want these people to take over the forum and they don't want to give the media any more fuel against them. You don't like the rules of this forum, go make your own, heck I'd love for you to go make your own, the more places for conservatives to gather online the better. But this here is Jim Robinson's forum, and if you don't like his rules then you don't have to stay that's all there is to it.

I'm grateful to J. Rob and the moderators here for giving us this forum to speak our mind, and they do allow us to be un-PC, as long as we're not un-PC and stupid. As I look at all the posts that were pulled in this thread I'm angry, not because they were pulled, but I'm angry that so many people had to stoop to such a level that warranted their posts getting pulled. The moderators here take a lot of flack from a lot of different people, I for one am glad they do us this service. They don't have to do this you know, Free Republic could just as easily not exist, and where would be then?- Getting banned from CNN for questioning abortion and affirmative action?
