Like I said ... just my opinion and I will back right out of that discussion by just saying that it would seem that the authorization would need to come from both client and attorney ... but I am certainly not versed.
This whole thing is a sad, sordid affair where people's ego's, their pride, their own agendas and quite a bit of vitriol are all coming together to create a bad situation.
For what it is worth, though Jim and I have not agreed on all matters and I have experienced my share of "banning" and "penatly boxes" through what I too felt were misunderstandings and inaccurate information (and most of the people who were the source of that misnformnation have sense fallin on their own swords WRT FR) ... I believe FR is an extremely good thing and I have worked to insure that it doesn't get me down or tempt me to start infighting.
FR, despite all else, is a modern Town Square and unfiltered source for information and discussion for anyone willing to look for it.
In that regard, I believe that JR is honestly trying his best to fight the enemies that are lined up against our Constitutional Republic and the liberties it is supposed to protect, and he has my support in that fight all the way, irrespective of whether Jim sees it "my way" or not.
I believe that a lot of people who, for whatever reason, become disaffected and antagonistic towards FR and Jim, end up walking and talking right past the points I just made and then take off in a huff on their own agenda trying to force JR and FR to pursue things in the manner they feel best.
Well, Jim states pretty up front that the site is his personal property, what his goals are, that it is run by donations and that people are free to donate or not. So, from my perspective folks should either accept his ground rules, however they may disagree with them, or feel them misapplied ... or start their own thing to compliment the fight. What is happening with these types of dog fights is dampening and destroying the overall fight for our liberties and works against us all IMHO.
Oh well, now I went and got on my own soap box and said a lot more on this thread than I ever wanted to anyhow.
Jeff thanks for posting. It does help me a great deal to read a ray of light in the midst of this onslaught from the "pit". What's really unfortunate, is the only thing that has been brought out is the fact that Jim is a trusting soul that has been betrayed by many that have come along to use and abuse his trust.
I commend Jim Robinson for still believing in his vision enough to continue to deal with spiteful, jealous, and envious people.
Z2 you would probably have accomplished more if you would have been working on behalf of the victims of 911 and trying to get each family their million bucks from United Way and the Red Cross, truly a talent being misdirected. Bitterness will eat you alive. I was a Buchanan brigader but just as all the others he wasn't real either. He said just enough to get those Republicans on his side that wanted Clinton to pay for his abusive power. Z2 you might question many things about Bush, one thing you have to give him props on, and that is his ability to say what he means and means what he says.
I will continue to support this forum, use the money however you deem appropriate, if nothing more it has shown in real time how your enemy desires to sift you as wheat. I still say, time is the greatest equializer.
