Of all the banned/Opus'd FReepers, hers is the one I, personally, felt pain over.

I distributed her work to many who were blind to these truths, and they have seen the light.

Scary? You betcha'! The truth sometimes is.

As for her banishment, I know not why, nor is it my business. Therefore, I have no position to take, nor do I take one. That's between her and JimRob.

Mia T. aside, I see more FReepers posting now who's names I've not seen before. I can only assume they were lurking, afraid of the "gang" mentality that sometimes existed here when you didn't agree with, or word your posts to the liking of, a certain group of FReepers.

One thing I will state to all. I still consider myself a noob here. I look at a FReepers' sign on date, and place much respect on the "elders". Lately, a lot of that respect has been un-warranted and denigrated, by that FReeper, themself.

One or two, in particular, made comments on this thread that were so disgusting and perverse, especially the one about Jim personally, that had I been Jim, I would have been tempted to effect a real life zot, and not a virtual one.

Now, after this so-called "purge", I don't see that happening as much.

So, to the "stifling" of open discussion, I say we are having more, not less. And that's a good thing.

:O)

Run, FRED, run, and bring J.C. Watts with ya!

I assume you’re just speaking out in the open, and not attributing the quote about “stifle” to me.

MiaT had a mini-messianic complex, and her ALL CAPS SPAM POSTS with 47,000 links unrelated to any specific topic were just plain annoying.

She pretty much told people where they could get off if they didn’t appreciate her screeds.

Ironically, not long ago, I asked her to please put her name in the title page of her posts say they could be more easily avoided, and she took quite an attitude, as if JimRob would back her up on anything.

Good riddance, period!
