Quick question: If you started your own forum,

Yes, I started my own forum. Emphasis on the past tense. That forum is no longer.

and seem to not care about this site whatsoever,

On the contrary, I care very much about this site, just not the way it's been run lately.

then what is the point of you coming back and posting on this thread?

Because I was invited back by this forum's host.

It makes you look stupid. If I were banned and started my own forum, and was invited back, I wouldn't go. It just seems like you came back to advertise your forum.

GIGO -- garbage in, garbage out. In other words, you've made some bad assumptions which have led to faulty conclusions.

Is that the absolute HEIGHT of self-fawning or what?

Oy! I've posted to him several times in this thread, and he has yet to respond -- I don't know if my comments could be considered "excellent and probing", as Arator puts it, but they were definitely ignored! But then again, what can one expect from a guy who has the audacity to put a Confederate flag on his home page with the caption "the last flag to fly over Americans who were truly free" (yes, I'm sure the slaves felt very free in the glory days of the Old South!)

Stop jabbering on and on and just kiss me, you fool! ;^)

Sort of like what Rock Hudson did to Linda Evans in Dynasty?

There are some who come back because they want to make a statement on how they were wronged and how much better we would all be if we only accepted their morsels of advice.

A bellyfull of those morsels have shown many on this thread, what many more already know - that the issue is attention. That the issue is that of control. They not only want the forum from which to speak, but to control the manner in which that forum is administered. And if they cannot have either, to their satisfaction, then the whole venture is soured.

If one goes to an establishment and is not served a meal that they enjoy, most do not go back. But there are those that continue to go back and eat the meals, so that they may complain about it afterwords. FR is not much different than such an eating establishment and neither are the diners. If you object to the menu, frequent another spot.

The internet would not be very interesting without Free Republic! I guess you know my vote.

Thanks for FR Jim.

Speaking of vactions from FR. When I took my vaction I found there was this rats nest of former freepers and I say former freepers with reservation. I really think they were all sorelosers from The Gore Side undercover. Even the real rats kicked Eschoir off of their Monkeyman smirkie site.

and then I found Arators web site no I mean hate site against Jim and Howlin and many others like BobJ. The roast of the day there was Howlin. They had just done a thread against her and then started a poll about the thread that turned into another Howlin thread.

This site is a country club for snobbery and personal attacks. I am an Independent Conservative and have been for 30 years. I have always leaned toward the Republican side but if this site and its members represent Republicanism I care not to associate with this kind. You people are no better then Demoncrates. As I read old posts from years ago I see there were people with ideas and made this site truly enjoyable to read. Today if full of fluff and censorship. You are actually getting paid to run this site? What a scam! How much do you pay your censors who work 24/7? You should cancel this site, but since its run as a BLACK PROJECT it never will go away.

dude your no conservative, I think your flat-out lying. I think your a Liberal liar which seem to be Liberal perversion. Your not a very good liar!

All I want to know is what your pre banned name was.

This has been explained over and over and over and over again. Knock it off and slither back to DU where you are loved.

Hence, the dull as dust moonscape FR has become, except for this thread, that is. LOL.

If FR is so horribly dull, then why did you jump back here the moment your posting privileges were restored? Why are you still posting over and over and over in a relentless frenzy of whining? Why do you write poems and songs about Free Republic like a teenage girl mooning over her idols in Tiger Beat? Get a grip, please!

Did you answer the question about the Patriot Act? I believe WIMom asked it. I'm interested in seeing your response.

"Yes, I started my own forum."

I'll bet that was a hoot!

One further point. It seems that no other thread on FR this day has stirred the passion of Arator. THIS thread is the only thread that has been graced with posts.

We've seen much from Arator on what is wrong with FR, and very little on what is well with FR. For this to be the only thread on which Arator has posted speaks volumes about the zeal of Arator to be involved and active in the administrative workings of FR.

Make your concerns known (you have) and move on to the flavor of FR (you haven't). To do any less demonstrates a lack of self-control and inability to participate in FR in a more informative manner.
