You should address that question to Jim.Fair enough. Jim, why are your admins booting old timers? Kirk was goofy but harmless.

Lets be really honest here - I do not see where Captain Kirk was advocating any trutherism in his statement:
Of course, it is also a slimny smear to argue that pointing out that simple fact makes RP a truther e.g. an advocate of the view that the U.S. government intentionally murdered thousands of Americans on 9-11. If that is your claim, then prove it!
It's been posted here several times (in audio of RP's own voice) that he refutes the truther movement.
Here is a very detailed breakdown and refuting of that assertion on the RLC homepage (an organization that has had some close affiliation with FR in the past). It also includes the audio of Paul refuting the truther movement:
Ron Paul is Not a Truther - RLC.org
If you read Capn' Kirk's statement rather carefully, he is simply asking the other poster to prove the oft-made assertion that Paul is a truther. Ron Paul has said some very controversial (and not well thought out) things, but I think it is pretty obvious that he's not a truther.
Just my honest interpretation of what went down, FWIW.

“Fair enough. Jim, why are your admins booting old timers? Kirk was goofy but harmless.”
It’s Jim’s website, and I think we all understand that he can boot whomever he wants. In truth I’m actually kind of surprised that he hasn’t booted me yet. The election year is young yet.
That said, political debate isn’t much fun unless there are passionate people to argue with and over time a lot of those folks have ridden the lightning. Agreed with a few, disgreed with most, but like hot peppers they add flavor to the mix. This poster was relatively harmless and there are plenty of neocons on the site to flame him when he steps out of line.
I hope you’ll reconsider, Jim.
