...you cannot dismiss nine years of Freeping over a disagreement on who you're opining has a REAL opportunity to...

I read the thread and it was not a disagreement, it was personal insults.

I have been banned for 24 hours several times for much, MUCH less over the years.

They wanted to get banned. They all went over to their little fort and said, "Hold my kool-aid" and came over here to insult Jim and others (including Ronald Reagan).

The fact that they were here for 9 years or 9 minutes is of NO CONSEQUENCE!!

It is like hearing a defendant say, "But judge, I was married to her for NINE YEARS before I killed her, you can't send me to jail."

Hey, I’m still here and I had my say directly to Jim Rob. When I had my say I had no idea that this was the night/day/week of the hatchet and blood was running deep in the hallowed halls of Freeperland.

Recently posts of mine were deleted because I posted pictures that were posted by ex-Freepers who debated against the mass psychosis of Flt800 conspiracy hysteria.

What do I care tha the picture that I posted was considered abuse or offensive (while the original remains), what do I care that some people you just can’t reach? How many people got banned because of Flt800 threads? How many casualties have there been because of the Evo-Creation debates? How many losses has there been because of the fallout post-1106?

FreeRepublic will ALWAYS be FreeRepublic as long as the people that frequent the forums are as hot blooded about their conservative ideals, principles and visions as they have been since the day I joined.

I can’t even begin to count how many imbroglos that I witnessed on this board. And quite frankly, this board is no different than any other board that I’ve been a member of that has lively and hot discussion. It just so happens that those other forums pertain to nonconsequential issues that are only relevant to gaming.

You haven’t seen blood splatter until you’ve witnessed a flame war of two groups of PC game modders going at each other.

I don’t konw guys, in what loins was the seminal fluid of this country’s conception found? Yes, that’s right: IN BARS. This country is founded upon their ancestors getting together and discussing politics IN BARS!

Makes me wonder how far we’ve fallen.

That being said and notwithstanding, I find it wholly reprehensible that you can equivilate the murder of a spouse to whom one had been married to for 9 years and being a poster on FreeRepublic.

I’m just wondering if that’s akin to equivolating that those 9 year FreeRepublic veterans got raped somehow.

If anybody truly holds to those sentiments then they don’t really understand what murder means, nor can they empathize in the least with a rape victim.
