Can This Freeper Be Saved?
7-13-02 | Joe Phillips

Posted on 07/13/2002 5:55:15 AM PDT by BADJOE

When I was a young man, one of the womens magazines had a monthly feature "Can This Marriage be Saved" which would have both sides tell their stories, followed by a marriage counselor who disected the imput from both parties. Then the story followed up on the results.

Obviously some cases were hopeless, but many that seemed to be hopeless were resolved.

Good point, and imho one of the reasons this forum is so popular.

Right. Hope it stays that way. For a while there, we were drifting into this "Do not criticize anything Dubya does or we will all pile on and you might even get banned" territory. This drift seems to have lessened lately, or maybe just because I have not been able to participate as much, maybe I'm just not seeing it as much.

I do know one thing: That Way, There Be Dragons.

Do you think Ash would be banished today?

Probably not, although I did enjoy the 'Ash Alerts'. ;^)

Brother, you can be saved!!

Call Kenneth Copeland Ministries now and get his new CD together with a special commemorative Bible. It explains the righteous way to salvation, through faith.

Hallelujah! Operators are standing by!

But most banned/canned and suspended Freepers have my e-mail address and I hear a lot that would even make you blush Laz. : (

:o) Nothing makes me blush, Joe. :o)

No we haven't, but I sometimes think some of the mods have.

There was another one, Seven Of Nine (Not to be confused with SevenofNine) who was utterly absurd. Denied that Saddam Hussein gassed the Kurds. Denied he was after nukes or chem/bio weapons.

Denied the sun rose in the morning, practically. He was amusing.

ConsistentLibertarian is a laugh-riot! The guy flies into a complete tizzy every time you nail him on something. Funny stuff. He sent me like, 7 messages in a row, each different, when I nailed him on something the other day. He also refuses to debate using logic and objective facts. Lot of fun messing around with him.

Nah, you'd be okay today.

After all, we just had a whole thread devoted to laughing at some Palestinian kids that were cut to ribbons by IDF machine gun fire.

I don't see why your silliness could be worse than that.

I made the simple statement that I could understand why someone would shoot an abortion dr.

I can understand why you were banned. Anyone who advocates violence against a fellow American who has not been adjucated as a criminal by the US court system is acting completely out of line.

You must work within the system or anarchy reigns supreme, and I know you don't want that. For if you shoot an abortion doctor, the next thing you know, a pro-abort is shooting up a church.

Your a really nice fellow BadJoe. You have always been a gentleman as far as I have seen. But I have to disagree with ya on this one. I have two children, that need to know where the line is. They want a line, and this line is an act of love. If I didn't care for my kids, there would be no line.

We all know the line, some will test it every so often, but they honestly know the line is there for a good reason. If the line is too far out there, good communication will be hurt. I know if the vulgarness is too horrible, I will be gone. I can go to an MTV chat site and see all the vulgar name calling I can stand. This needs to be an adult atmosphere where good discussion can occur, the "LINE" makes that a possiblity.

Most of the Libertines are very tightly wound. In fact, I've gotten into the rather disappointing habit of just making a statement that's guaranteed to make half of 'em burst a blood vessel. You can almost see the saliva flecks on their replies.

It's sort of like when you're a little kid that kicks an ant-pile just to watch 'em scramble around.

Immature? Absolutely. BAD Illbay, BAD!

Why all this concern? What I've noticed is 99.9% of the time if a poster asks JR to be allowed back on FR, Jim will let him back.

The only people I see that are permanently banned are those who continually step way out of line.
