LOL! Damn, it's good to see you posting again. It brings back all the good memories of the way FR used to be.
(Note to newbies: Gargantua is one of the all time FReeper greats, who, like all FReeper greats, bear the scars of multiple banishments. These irrepressible few simply cannot be bullied into dull conformity. Gargantua is one of these. He is a priceless FReeper gem who ought to be cherished and embraced by all who love freedom, NOT abused, trampled upon, censored, silenced, and discarded.)
BWAAAAHAHAHAhahahahahaha!!
You are far too kind. I've missed you, too Arator. The same most certainly should... no, must (!) be said of you.
The reason why guys like us get banned has nothing to do with insulting repartée, for indeed, we only responded in kind to the mental midgets who were stupid enough to insult us first.
Our banning had to do with numbers. There are far more sheep out there waiting to be herded to the abbatoire than there are wolves like us who will chomp those attempting to kill the sheep.
FreeRepublic, and Jim Robinson, rely on those larger numbers. This site does not need the insightful, confident and un-bullyable few... its existence relies upon the many.
So, when a brave and outspoken few make it uncomfortable for the sheep to play "ostrich," we get banned so that the sheep still have a pen (here) to mill about in without having their vapidness challenged, or their comfort zone encroached upon by people who learned at a young age to think for themselves, and who never forgot that all-important lesson.
Whether allowed to use it here on FreeRepublic, or whether its wisdom must be relegated elsewhere due to FreeRepublic's reluctance to endure the disparity it illustrates between the few and the many, I will continue to embrace that Life Lesson, and to share it with all who will listen.
Ah..I see, Gargantua is another of your SN's...Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. OWK is correct, most of you are scum, socialist decievers. The sooner Jim flushes you all away, the better.
BTW How many of the others are you too? All? All but 1 or 2?
