Good-Bye Cruel Free Republic

[magnum opus dejure]

Well, it's been 4 years since I first found Free Republic. I have always felt like I belonged here and have really enjoyed the banter back and forth between us members. I am afraid all this is now over. I am really suprised and shocked at it's suddenness. Before I leave I want to thank a freeper from Michigan who sent me a DVD player last year to give to my kids for Christmas. You reaffirmed my faith in humanity.

I know this thread will be deleted before many people get to read it, but I just can't go without saying a final word. Every since 911 the 'vibe' here at FR has been decidedly hostile. I guess it was a matter of time before the newbie moderator got around to weeding me out for my sometimes unpopular views. So I join the ranks of A+Bert and so many others who gave FR a interesting flavor. I will miss coming here 20 times a day and keeping up on things. But without posting priviledges there is just no point. I must go find another conservative group to try to be a part of.

In the future, when a freeper who has been a loyal member since August 1998 crosses the line, how about a note instead of banning? Would that have been too much? I may have gotten out of line, how is beyond me, but if such a tresspass would have been pointed out I would gladly have refrained from doing so again. It is just not right to just ban an account with no explaination. Especially when the freeper has been here 4 years. I have no idea what I am going to do with my days now that I no longer have FR. Well, I guess I have said my part. It is a sad day when one has to leave family and friends. I feel like some of you were just that. But apparently I am no longer wanted around here. I bid my good day to you all and hope that karma pays it's respects to those who do injustice.

About my last reply?

Never mind about the letter to JimRob.

Anyone who compares themself with A+Bert SHOULD leave. That psycho freak was ecstatic on 9-11.

This needs repeating. It finaly came to that with A+? Gasp.

"He was a good neighbor, quiet.."

LOL! That's become the stock response..

I never hear anyone say: "You're Damn Right he was nuts and everyone knew it too!"

[RightWinger]

After you go through the withdrawals of not coming here, you'll see that the world is still a wonderful place, full of other good web sites.

There's nothing like the truth to set the record straight. Thanks.

That's the way they used to teach school In The Old Days. Kid's lucky he didn't get detention. Why, in my day that teacher woulda had him choppin' wood through recess. Which is odd since the school was heated by a gas boiler ...

Thanks for your post.
I knew the name wasfree.....
knew that that I had seen it around a long time....
but I couldn't think of a single memorial post that could gave me a handle on his thought processes.

As you have shown...they were small.
I applaud your actions.

What was your real name?

Na na na na, na na na na, hey, hey...

You know the drill.

Hard to believe you've been here four years and this is the first time you've had your posting privileges temporarily revoked, but if it is, just continue to FReepMail JimRob periodically and plead your case and you'll eventually get back on. Of course, if you've already been suspended in the past, you know that already, so please don't be so melodramatic.

You always have the right to appeal your banning. If you feel your case has merit, please pursue it through the proper channels....appeal to the Moderator and/or Jim Robinson. If bad manners got you banned, improve your manners. Ordinarily, people can hold just about any point of view they wish, but are expected to promote that view courteously and without getting into flame wars with other people.

[SamAdams76]

Never mind. After reading the excerpts posted on #59, I agree with the moderator's decision to ban you. Anybody who would say that fine people like Alan Keyes and Condoleeza Rice should not hold public office because of their skin color or gender doesn't belong in a forum like this. Good riddance.

I'm glad I scrolled down THIS far. Thank you for presenting the facts.

Sometimes we punch the ENTER button without much thought as to how we appear and sound in this forum. A thought.............airing this type of stuff can serve as an 'INSTRUCTIONAL' experience.

[Mudboy Slim]

Well, after reading some of the rantings on #59, I can see where this dude may never post again...quite a character, I would say.

FReegards to you and JimRob...MUD

[2Trievers]

My thoughts perzactly! Want to make a wager "magnum opus dejure" doesn't come back to answer these queries? LOL &;-)

[BADJOE]

You Fella's really help yourselves to be understood by the Freepers when you post this kind of info on the banee.

[JZoback]

I would vote for Bill Clinton for senate before Liza Dole.

That alone is worthy of banishment.

< /sarcasm >

[eddie willers]

should not hold public office because of their skin color or gender doesn't belong in a forum like this. Good riddance.

Yeah....I can just see him in the voting booth...
"Hmmmm....
"Barney Franks or Jeanne Kirkpatrick?"
"Thomas Sowell or Teddy Kennedy?"

Good riddance, indeed.
