The occasional rhetorical nastiness is perfectly okay by me -

Not that it matters what is OK to you, since you don't own the site. that IS what it is about- a site owner being able to run his own site as he pleases.

All the whiners on here are like hearing city people trying to sue a farmer because he wouldn't paint his barn red.

sometimes what the stew really needs is a pinch of salt -

Maybe, but put your salt in your own soupbowl instead of trying to put it in the chef's. Geocities offers free web sites and you can put your soupbowl there, with as much salt as you need.

but let's not treat ourselves to a hypocrisy party, okay?

Hypocrisy is seeing people trying to make themselves co-owners of another man's property, against his will, and then still claim to be 'conservatives' looking out for 'people's rights.'

When someone asks you to leave their property, you leave, or if you want to return, you apologize and ask to be readmitted. If you don't think you did wrong, and don't apologize, that's your choice... just leave. You don't demand concessions from him, nor expect any, because it is his property to do with as he pleases, and he can invite or disinvite anyone he wants to, for any reason, at any time.

There is at least one claim still unanswered. The rules have pretty much been no racist posts, no abscenities, no personal attacks, no spam. I think if those are the rules people are told when they come in, they will be kind of shocked to get thrown out for not breaking them. Not that this bestows on anyone any right to stay, as the terms of use are pretty clear it is up to the management. It just means that they have a reasonable complaint.

I do agree it is bellyaching at this point. Jim Rob has heard this complaint over and over. It's up to him to decide what to do, if anything. In the meantime, everyone is clear in knowing that anything can happen. I personally think the moderators are overzealous, but that is the way it is. Take it or leave it. I did complain once that a whole thread was pulled because I put a lot of researched links on it and one bad freeper caused the whole thing to go down. Low and behold, the thread was reinstated with only the offending post removed. Because of that I think that JimRob does have a forgiving, merciful soul and will do the right thing when presented with a reasonable opportunity to do it. B*tching and moaning and getting into a p*ssing match doesn't appeal to one's forgiving side.
