Jim, your post at #25 spelled it out perfectly. FWIW, this is what I posted over on the Federalist website, we'll see if they'll put their money where their mouth is and let it stand:
_____________________________________________________________


Look here Tracinski, you and your cyber-sycophants are obviously confused regarding the difference between "free speech" and "private property". Free Republic is NOT and never has been, a totally wide open public forum where anyone can spew and spout off any damn thing they wish, they first have to actually register WITH the owner of FR (Jim Robinson) and agree to abide by specified guidelines. Free Republic is PRIVATE PROPERTY, no different than if posters were personally hanging out in JimRob's living room but if they get out of line, they're going to be shown the door, they are GUESTS not permanent residents.

Free Republic is 100 percent privately funded, with no commercial advertising, no subsidies, it is run entirely on donations from the posters and from the resources of Jim Robinson. "His house, his rules". Jim did indeed state that there is not going to be any more tolerance for the backstabbing subversive behavior generated by Cruz supporters who refuse to accept that the primary war is over, their guy lost, but just like that fanatical Japanese soldier who kept on fighting after 1945, the more rabid Cruz fanatics keep on roaming the island and occasionally pop up to take a pot shot on FR, and they are deleted (*ZOTTED* as we FReepers like to call it), and rightly so.

Do you have a problem with that Tracinski? If so, too bad, so sad. What was your FReeper name before YOU got the Zot?

The choice before us is Trump, who genuinely loves our Country, or Hillary Rotten Criminal, who would represent not only the return of the Clinton Crime Syndicate to the White House, it would effectively be the third term of that treasonous scumbag Barky O'Bama. Choose as if the future of our Nation depended on it.

Here's your clue: IT DOES.

Free Republic is PRIVATE PROPERTY

It is genuinely heartbreaking to me -- for realsies, no foolin' -- that the very concept of private property rights, so fundamental to core conservatism, actually needs to be painstakingly EXPLAINED to these self-righteous yip-yops.

Thank you very much, mkjessup! Excellent!! Superior! Right On!!
Robert Tracinski's essay is remarkable if only for its complete avoidance of facts.

Readers familiar with Free Republic are left to ponder about Robert Trancinski instead of Free Republic ... LOL.

Is Robert suffering from "separation anxiety butt-hurt after getting the Almighty ZOT?

Does Robert need attention?

Did "the Federalist" deny Robert his personal Civil War screen name & logo ?

Excellent response to this drivel piece, dear FRiend.

I recall calling out this blog, The Federalist Papers, several months ago as nothing more than YET another PAC paid arm of the cRuz campaign.

They are seriously suffering from extreme bumhurt, no doubt. I, too, wonder just who this discharged/ZOTTED FReeper WAS.
