Yep.

[calcowgirl]

And isn't it against FR rules to carry such personal feuds from thread to thread?

Yes. It's against the rules to bring arguments from other threads. So quit doing it, already!

I would have not brought this up except that someone on this thread has been arguing that...

Then debate them on the issue. Don't use one incident between other parties (that is impossible to deciper given post deletions) to make your case--it's weak.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Excellent. Thanks. Some surprising names on that list.

I take it you did not come up with these names from the article that was posted from The NY Observer....which in my estimation would have lent a certain degree of credibility to the article.

And another point...now that I see the names...many of these people left of their own accord and were not banned for their stance on Guiliani. Pukin Dog is a perfect example. I read his Opus.

[wagglebee]

Don’t forget PhiKapMom and Hildy, they were also banned.

[gpapa]

They must have been unbanned then. I just looked them up and their posts still appear on FR.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Hildy opused in April, but account still active, just not posting.

Ditto PhiKapMom.

wideawake ("Pearl Harbor is all America's fault, right, Mommy?" - Ron Paul, age 6, 12/7/1941)

The problem with that is you have no record of Paul actually saying that.

Again, Allegra, you simply cannot find such delightful foolishness anywhere else.

[wideawake]

That's a shame. Some good, longtime FReepers on that list.

The worst part is the loss of brainpower there.

The PaulBots are such morons as a general rule that it isn't much fun to puncture their easily-punctured arguments.

[wideawake]

Do you have a link to Pukin Dog’s opus?

[gpapa]

Interesting screen name you have there. Loss of brainpower. Loss of some longtime Freepers yes, but amongst the remaining there is still plenty of brainpower to debate the issues of the day.

Check my signup date. This has been my screenname long before MadIvan usurped it for his forum without even so much as notifying, let alone asking, me.

For now, yes.

But the ratio of screeching flakes to thinkers is, sadly, rising.

[wideawake]

Thanks for the link. A very brief opus indeed.

[Allegra]

Again, Allegra, you simply cannot find such delightful foolishness anywhere else.

They're a strange bunch, aren't they? I can't think of another candidate who has such a worshipful, strange, cult following.

They snarl like a pack of wolves if you suggest that their god is less than perfect.

And it appears they have no sense of humor at all.

Perhaps the Mothership will come for them soon. ;-)

Lyndon Larouche?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Do you have a link to Pukin Dog’s opus?

Alas, I do not. I'd have to search for it. I do recall reading it here aproximately 3-4 months ago. I don't believe it was actually posted as an 'Opus' which would make it easy to find. The title escapes me. If I find it I'll ping you.
Suffice to say, he wordily stated he'd had enough and wasn't coming back.

[Tijeras_Slim]

You seem to have a problem with charismatic leaders....
