No, they don't remember. But those of us that have our opinions that contradict the whiners don't have to back down. I've seen this happen for over 10 years in lots of political online forums from Compuserve to Yahoo, etc.
Don't let the ones that pretend they can dictate to others take over the message. This isn't our forum, it belongs to Jim Robinson and if he wants to ban everyone that says the Earth revolves around the Sun, that's his option and I won't whine about it...I'll just leave.
The problem with so many is they think this is THEIR forum and only THEIR views should be "allowed".
Reminds me of the Live War Threads we had last March and April. Many of us were there for hours and hours a day and in the early morning, like now, we'd express thoughts, opinions, and even silly banter. Suddenly, someone would "wake up" and come in and totally WHINE about how we should "stick to the subject" and "shouldn't be allowed to banter on", etc. and "I came here to hear the news" like they don't know how to use their computer beyond coming to FreeRepublic.
We laughed at them then and we laugh at them now.
Well, if you all just agreed with me, things would go a lot smoother. ;^)
