Bannings and suspensions are quite fair. Some of you folks get so emotional that you step over the line in your zeal to make a point. Every banning I've witnessed came with a warning, followed by a lot of talking back to the moderators.

I am NOT a moderator.

I've been in trouble with the mods myself, but I am not one to argue with clear authority. You, with your repeated accusations in the face of being corrected, are acting like you want someone to give you a time out, if only to make a point of being banned for reasons you and others might consider unfair.

I know that you and others think I am getting some kind of special treatment here, and I even joked about it, so that it would tweak some of you. You can tell a lot about a person when you poke them in the ribs to see if they can take it.

Each of us has the right to request that any odd FReeper not post to them if they feel there is nothing to gain from interacting with said person. I think this serves to keep the personal wars to a minimum. I know at least 4 FReepers who don't want to hear from me, and I have no problem adhering to their wishes.

But some of you guys make it soooooo easy to push your buttons, it makes me wonder sometimes if I am not arguing with Democrats. Believe it or not, I am just as susceptible to being banned as you or anyone else. And I realize that some folks will dance in the streets if I given the heave-ho, so I don't give them that satisfaction.

Just make your points, don't get angry, don't call names, do use facts, don't treat this as some form of competition, and you wont have a problem here. As far as I see, this site supports the Conservative agenda, and I believe the founder has stated that for the moment, the best chance of preserving that agenda is to give the Democrats no momentum they can use to defeat our side in November.

How will it all end? We are going to pick up seats in November. I am going to continue to hunt trolls. You are probably going to argue your way into a time out, and the site will go on as if you and I never existed. None of us individually are so bloody important that the Conservative agenda wont go on without our support. So don't take it all so seriously.

According to some people who have been banned, they received not a single warning!

I hope that's not a rule. I don't think it's a good one.

If a person makes a comment on this open forum, then that person should expect a response from anybody.

The only requirement should be that the response doesn't brake the rules.

So don't take it all so seriously.

That would only be funnier if Howlin said it.
