I’m coming in here in the middle—because, well, who has time to catch up on this thread an still have time to breathe?

BUT...

I LIKE Alan Keyes!!!

Wow, nothing like using positive, constructive feedback...

[Kevmo]

Interesting stuff. First time I’ve heard it.

[bjs1779]

It sure does dirtboy.

That picture is uncalled for, but may be a metaphor for the witch hunt a few of the posters on this thread seem to want here.

Disagreeing with a long-standing FReeper like Howlin is one thing. Equating her with a witch is just plain wrong.

““...to purge is to remove people considered by the group in power to be ‘undesirable’ from a government, political party, a profession, or from community or society as a whole...””

You forgot an important thing from the so called purge here...you’re smart enough you can figure it out. The definition is not met.

Purge requires intent.

They left, either through refusing to obey, or willingly. That could be called an exodus, migration, evacuation, retreat. But not a purge.

Stalin rounding up people and sending them to the Gulag was a purge.

People saying, “I dare you to ban me and up yours, Jim,” is an action of a restrained and good moderator. I’d have banned them much earlier for their behavior. They chose it. In a purge, you don’t choose. You are chosen.

Playing linguistic games won’t change reality. Some chose a flame warrior’s retreat strategy. Some just left. But it was up to them.

Don’t fail to count the number of posters that will now post more often (and donate) because they won’t be attacked with “Duncan donut” etc. I don’t think you realize just how abrasive some of those people have been for quite a long while.

The first huge Terri thread was a group effort on 8-28-03. I think I still have it bookmarked. We had to start a Part 2. There were over 550 Terri threads by November of 03 after we thought she was safe. We trusted the GOP with our votes and they didn’t save her in 2005. Terri’s Legacy List goes on.

Hehe...

Reading her flame-bait posts shows that you don't really know who you are talking about.

[Skywarner]

What do you mean “the other side?”

Because I question what has become of Free Republic? Because you don’t like my questioning what we have become?

What, should I wear a yellow not-conservative-enough patch emblazzened across my shoulder?

[Knitting A Conundrum]

It’s looking that way.

“No, you just made fun of me for your first post directed to me.”

I thought it was being humorous, plus since your husband has ushered people out of your house I was curious what he would think of a forum owner cleaning up some points about the purpose of his forum.

You haven't read the Potter books.

She's a witch of the basest sort.

“Anyone here for freedom of expression?...no I thought not.”

You’re moving towards the light are ya? Let me be the first to say it—IBTZ!

"There is a difference between constitutional government and judicial dictatorship, and I think it's time we remembered that our Constitution was not put together in order to establish the sovereignty of the judges, it was framed in order to guarantee the sovereignty of the people." - Alan Keyes
