I recently signed up to participate in the forums at FreeRepublic. I used the userid "littlealex". I
was a member for approximately 48 hours before I was forbidden from further posting. I was labelled
a troll. I read the forums for about two years before I thought I might try my hand at
participation. This message will likely be removed shortly after posting, so I may as well be brief. This is not a
discussion forum. Any conservative thought outside of a limited spectrum of neoconservative,
speialized extremist thought is prohibited. The moderators and members have no interest in
thoughtful discourse, just solicitations for cronyistic "ditto"s and "me too" replies. I am very
disappointed. I have been doing reading on the internet and have found a great number of banned
folks who commited no great offense other that to disagree with the *exact* philosophy of the
moderators. You are a bunch of mindless zombie "yes-men." You would not know an original thought if
it slapped your mother in the face. Further, if you believe yourselves to be conservatives, you are sadly mistaken. You are a faction of
extreme republicans who have little in common with the true conservative movement. Your beliefs are
so weak and ill-conceived that any attempt to discuss them in real capacity is met with anger,
derision, and ultimately, censorship. Very sad.
Up yours, and goodbye.

Don't forget to take your little balls with you!
Just post a good child death story and your back in their good graces.
I’ve been here about 5 years, and have often disagreed with the majority.
I am still here.
Don't forget your ball, wimp.
Worst vanity ever.
Alex, if I had a dime for everytime I've been called a TROLL..well..I'd start my own website!!! But you look at where it's coming from and you wear it as a badge of honor. I'm serious. Hope to see you again. I'm sorry your first posting experience was a negative one!
"Screw you guys. I'm going home."
Well then, can "Littlealex3" come out and play??? We're starting up a good game of Dodgeball and we need another victim, ahahem.... I mean, player....

Boo! Hoo! Hoo!
Let the yutz go! This is my third post already and I haven't been banned----yet.
whatever hildy..... ya "troll" :-) hehe!
I've posted worse. Just for my own selfish amusement. : )
I don't know why you got banned, but, perhaps you were banned not so much for what you said but how you said it? I say only what I would say to a person's face. So phrases like 'up yours', 'screw you', 'you're a dumb ass' and such like toned discourse is to be avoided.
I don't know you and I don't know the moderators, but I don't believe they ban people for well argued and thoughtful opposition to any 'favored' position.
Right back at ya! ;)
tick.....tick.....tick......tick...... :) just kidding
If Jim had a dime for every Alex who signs on again and again and again, we wouldn't need a FReepathon.
I don't know them either...but stay away from Keyes threads or you will be banned for mere opposition to a 'favored position'
