This whole thread is pretty tortuous.
I take it that you ARE a retread, then; a cowardly one, who was banned for good reason, but crept back under a new nic. Okay, so now that we have THAT all settled, what was your nic here, before you were banned?
No, actually, this is my one and only account. I signed up in early '01, six months before 911. Does this change your perception of me at all? I've been on several freeps, including a solo freep of Castro-loyal Cubans at a socialist gathering, and one where two handfulls of us freeped an anti-war crowd of 3,000. Here are some pictures. I'd like to think I'm among friends.
Sorry, I was just trying to make a joke. I posted in libertarian threads back then, too. I was just trying to say libertarian bashing threads are old hat.
I was "FREEPING", all alone, on my ownsome, long before ( several decades, to be exact ), there was ever a FR or even computers outside of enormous rooms. And some of them could have become life threatening, but being young, one doesn't always think about that. LOL
The really savage Libertarian flame wars took place here before you joined; though there still are some of those threads ( at a much lesser decibel ) on FR today.
I suggest that stop trying to be funny. You just might not attract unwanted negative attention that way.
But yes, this thread is somewhat akin to "torture"; though what you wrote really doesn't mean the same thing. Go look up the meaning of the word "tortuous". LOL
