Really? Here's the post I chose to respond to:
To: BykrBayb; DCPatriot; Registered; 68 grunt
Even though I have been diametrically opposed to them over this, I was never on the receiving end of attack posts...but that’s just my experience.
Yes, well, others have been on the receiving end of their attacks. Grunt called me a butch at least 15 times on this thread, which was right in keeping with his posting history, as was his accusation that I'm a lesbian. I don't recall being on the receiving end of Registered's vitriol, but others were. I don't have to be the target to understand that it was wrong. I don't approve of others being abused, as long as it's not me. I don't feed the alligator, hoping to be eaten last.
All of the liberals who have gotten the zot had it coming to them. And Free Republic is already a better place because of it. Some of them were nastier than others, but they all competed for the "honor."
I support the effort to have nothing to do with, and not put up with the Rudy nomination. He is not conservative, and, IMHO, does not support the fundamental, core, moral values that define us as a free, God-fearing nation.
At the same time, as I have said, I am also saddened to see some of the long time people whom I have worked with against other liberals and socailistic issues lost from FR.
That's my point...whatever led to their leaving or banning, and stating up front and forthrightly that my opposition to Rudy is non-negotiable and fundamental, I will also not forget and pretend that these other individuals other efforts never happened...because they did.
Now...forward to getting a Hunter or Thompson on the ticket.
