Who's to say that this person has been banned before? He could be a FReeper in good standing, having been here for quite a while, and is now laughing. How hard is it to simply create another username?

There is an internet vandal who defaces Free Republic with very gross pictures (homosexual sex and stuff from rotton.com) as well as posting "ALL YOU F***** N*****S & JEWS SHOULD BE LYNCHED".
He pings a variety of people to his post, ensuring that the trash is still in their My Posts lists.
To me, this isn't the milder form of harassment that Eschoir engaged in so many years ago. The very worst he would do is ask if you ever committed sodomy, and he once used the screen name "Paula Jones Tw*t". This is mild.
What this sick piece of work is doing is much more egregious. I believe it crosses the line into criminal defacement and restraint of trade. Are there any Free Republic lawyers (especially prosecutors) who can address this issue, and are there any private detectives with internet savvy that will help track the identity of this person down?
That said, this is a political website. His comments were, at their core, political, if offensive. It's my understanding that political speech is particularly protected by the First Amendment, and broad latitude is given to the speaker.
I hope something gets done.
I'm in. This made me sick to my stomach.
If you find him, we will be right beside you.
Kinda puts the runaway bride into perspective, doesn't it?
Yes. He's here daily and he's posting to people on a ping list, ensuring that when he is gone, the posts remain for those people.
This is a privately owned website. You have no more right to speak here than you do in Jim Rob's home - it is by his permission has one can speak. The disruptor is doing the equivalent of breaking and entering to smear feces on the walls.

I don't think he's the one that actually blurred them out. I've seen the pics before, usually as a result of someone posting links on IRC, the specific ones that he posted are pretty well known among internet sickos.
I suspect the cretin that posts this cr*p is probably reading this thread and getting his jollies.
I'm usually of the theory of ignoring the bully. Once he sees he's not getting any attention, he becomes bored and goes away.
That said, I'd love to see this piece of subhuman filth prosecuted. This has been going on for far too long.
I do not understand the mindset of someone who would do this. They obviously need mental help BIG TIME.
No. TMP02 is a respected freeper.
TMP02 was just calling attention to the post and the mods because it was taking so long for the mods to respond.
Hurrah...the moderators removed that horrible stuff from the thread. Thank God. I had referred the thread on Dr. Donald May's essay to my sons and other friends. I was terribly concerned that they would see that stuff.

First Amendment does not apply to private enterprises. This is not a government website. Posting here is limited to members.
Being so specific indicates pretty good knowledge of long time freepers ethnicity etc.
Look for a really disgruntled anti-freeper.
You're on a privately-owned site. The 1st Amendment limits the government, not the owners of privately-owned forums.
You need to go back to school.
Sorry to hear this. I hope the JR can do something to stop this nonsense.

One cannot plaster posters of, say, diseased vulvas on a Republican physical bulletin board, can one? No, that is criminal defacement. So is this.
