[X-FID]

Wow, great list. Good job!

[AnnaZ]

Wow, there are a lot of names on that list that I will miss, posters I truly adored.

I guess I'll have to scan through the thread at some point to see how it all happened, but, just damn.

[processing please hold]

Thank you thank you. So much easier on the eyes.

Awesome calcowgirl, thanks!

Now, if you don't mind, would you put them in chronological order, along with their join date and a short description of their zottation? :-)

[Reagan Man]

Thanks for compiling that list, ccg.

Hey there! Put me on the “recently banned” ping list! =)

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Hey there! Put me on the “recently banned” ping list! =)

[Mr. Silverback]

My gut reaction to the list in its current form is this: I suspect some of those folks were “under surveillance” for some time. Call it a watch list, if you will.

[The Coopster]

And that doesn’t include the myriad number that are no longer posting here because the’re sickened by the way things have developed.

Hopefully the more rabid are able to donate enough to make up for the shortfall on the next fundraiser.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Wow. I didn't always agree with a few on that list, but some of those are long-time FReepers, like MiaT and Oceanview and Peach.

Maybe they're just suspended and not banned.

I really don't have a dog in this particular fight...however, there are fewer that 50 on the banned list, of which I recognize the grand total of about 5, and I have been here since 2000.

This site, to my knowledge, has never been a democracy, or even a representative republic. I have known since I signed up that Jim Robinson has graciously allowed us to play in HIS backyard, even when we misbehave a little.

I have no idea how many FReepers there actually are, but I imagine that 50 is a VERY small percentage of the total, and as I occasionally visit this thread and read some of the posts, I have to wonder....

Just what the hell is all the commotion about?

Some people got spanked. They may or may not get over it. They may or may not be back. This will still be Jim's property, and as a guest of his, I am aware that I should be a gracious guest. I contribute as much as my SS pension will allow, and am grateful as hell to have this place to come to and find threads on just about any subject under the sun, political or not.

Thanks, Jim
