I'll take your word for that, unless and until you prove otherwise.
It must be difficult to see your friends leaving and getting banned. I've tried to keep my celebrating to a minimum, to avoid adding pain to any good people who are being hurt by this. But sometimes that's difficult. Some of those who were banned were very abusive toward a great many good and decent FReepers. It's hard not to be happy to see them gone.
Cheers!
Well, he's got about nine years of posts that you can browse through. I'd pretty much say he's already proved who he is as regards FR.
I saw someone running down 68grunt and Registered on this thread.
I cannot say what led to their leaving or getting banned as I was not privy to it...or what disagreements they had that got under folks skin. I can say that over many years both have shown themselves to be on "our side", irrespective of what went on lately.
68grunt also proved it long ago...about 40 years back when much younger and he deserves our thanks for that service.
Anyhow, as regards Rudy...as I have said earlier on this thread, IMHO, mixing politics and compromise of fundamental principle are never a good thing...irrespective of what party affiliation. It has become common place and the norm amongst Democrats...from my perspective, it is a horrible shame to see it happening more and more amongst Republican candidates.
