Hi sorry I just realized, 2ndDivisionVet was banned?

What happened?

[driftdiver]

A google search shows his last post on March 10. Going back a week or so I don’t see any flame wars. Nor anything on abortion. Of course I might have missed it in the 616,000 results.

Do all the posts from a banned person disappear too ... or do they stay on Free Republic?

[dforest]

He was last heard to say “I am comin’ ta join ya pissant”!

LOL. I imagine he will return soon.

[RandallFlagg]

I also like 2ndDivisionVet. I recommend until somebody sheds some light on what happened, we speculate with wild rumor and innuendo.

I'm on it!

I'd heard that he was re-steering the jet-eating black hole towards Crimea because he needs some more 7.62X39..

Laughing so hard here I can’t drink my coffee.

Is the Moderator able to tell us what happened?
Or do they just move on - I never saw him post anything untoward or snarky.

His posts are there. The offending post does not appear to be. This would lead me to believe that the entire thread was pulled.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I completely agree.

I also hope he get un-banned.

For real. Big time.

[old curmudgeon]

He was tireless in digging up stuff that we other wise would have missed.

Most of it very interesting.

Banning him was a very bad mistake that will make FR less interesting and of less value as a news source.

or in a black hole

[driftdiver]

Its rare they tell anyone the why. It adds to the excitement when you don’t really know where the line is.

[Chickensoup]

Missing him. Good threads and posts.

Come back 2ndDivisionVet, so this doesn’t devolve into a puddy-tat/you-are-going-to-burn-in-hell-if-you-don’t-see-things-my-way board.

Good Question !!
I have found 2nd DivisionVet's responses to be very thought provoking and informative .
I hope he can return soon, and we get an explanation from the Mods !

[elcid1970]

So....who are the mods afraid of offending? Did 2ndDivVet speak against one of our protected classes?

At a gun rights site the comments are now being “moderated”, meaning censored, & the site managers have stated flatly that they will not allow intemperate remarks to remain posted & thus provide `ammunition’ for the gungrabbers (”See, see!! These gun nuts are crazy and dangerous!! Ban guns NOW!!”)

Hope FReepers hasn’t gone P.C.

[SunkenCiv]

Let’s hope it’s just a timeout.

[bestintxas]

What is the best blog site other than FR? He is likely there.

Seems we need to keep FR honest by honoring alternative sites.

[Uncle Chip]

Is his computer still pinging???

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I’ll bet he spontaneously combusted.

or he could be parked on a runway in POCK ee sthan.
