I see that Arator opines that you may be insane!!! What did you do to tweak his tail, you naughty boy? ;-)
Arator is a poster child of whining your way to self-esteem.
Here is the deal:
1. If you do not donate cash to support Free Republic, sit down and shut up.
2. If you do donate to support Free Republic and you don't like the way the money is used, either stop donating or query the ptb's privately by FReepmail.
3. If you do donate and you don't trust the current ptb's or you think everyone but you is a thief, then really you are just too stupid to talk to...but just in case...sit down and shut up.
It is none of A Rat or similar rodent's business how Free Republic is run...what ticks him off is that he isn't running it. It also ticks him off that it isn't the moderators he has problems with. It is his bigotry and lies.
