Free Republic Purge: Conservative Web Site Bans Giuliani Supporters

In short, I wouldn't even attempt to guess what that discussion history was about, but I would assume that there was a whole lot more behind it than what you or I can view today. To continue to use that thread as the basis for some changed tone at FR is inappropriate--that behavior isn't common from what I've seen. That said, the poster did not go unchallenged and did apologize. People have a way of working out their differences without other folks dragging their dirty laundry around for them.

Excellent post, calcowgirl.

My question is why does Hillary get brought in EVERY time a RINO candidate is criticized? And you will notice that it is NEVER done by supporters of conservatives like Hunter and Thompson.

For the record, if he is the nominee, I will reluctantly vote for Romney.

Your tagline was off topic, and false.

It is not false just because it doesn't jive with your own opinion. After Ron Paul's 9/11 statement, there are quite a few of us who would agree with Petronski's tagline.

[wideawake]

In honor of The_Stalker, I’m bringing back my old tagline.

[airborne]

You kept this up until almost 2 AM?

What an obsessive guy.

Creepy. You’re the kind of guy restraining orders are meant for.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Boy, you usually only see this kind of dedication in Larouche supporters.

Don’t worry, Ron’s probably just addled by the diet of fish sticks his mom fed him.

[Allegra]

Source, please. LOL

and that post #78 refers to a previous dust-up between the two FReepers in question (fl/nav) on another thread that has since been deleted.

My issue is with post #75. Why is questioning a serviceman's loyalty allowed, when the argument that might explain the personal feud has been deleted? And isn't it against FR rules to carry such personal feuds from thread to thread?

No, if freeplancee made a mistake about someone's signup date -- and he did -- there is a way to call attention to the mistake -- and someone did. And freep apologised.

I would have not brought this up except that someone on this thread has been arguing that the military is a back burner issue in the upcoming election. Since we are in the middle of a war, are the democrats are in the process of providing aid and comfort to the enemy, I think otherwise. I used a particular post showing disrespect to a serviceman in Iraq as an example of something that would not be tolerated on the FR I remember.

"The value of tax cuts is immediately helpful to the present, regardless of the negative effects of debt.+"

That kinda leaves out the interest on the debt and Chinese ownership of our Government debt. It's pay me now or pay me later. We are today's guardians of the nation's future unless, of course, we are only greedy for ourselves.

Sorry. I obviously have you confused with some other don somethingorother. He was on the evolution/creation threads. I really liked reading his stuff, along with jswhateverthenumbersare, patrick henry, radio astronomer, chronic loser, and some thatcherthingie handle. Some of these people were materialists, some were atheists, some were Christian, and all were fun to read. Oh yeah, a physics prof was in that batch, but I can't remember his name.

There are quite a number of people who have either gotten nuked(Travis), gotten themseles nuked deliberately in a kind of "fit" (Radio Astronomer), launched a jihad against FR (Howlin), asked JimRob to pull their account (chronic loser), or just quit posting. We seemed alot more friendly in the past, even when we strenuously disagreed. Like I said b4 I have been a lurker here for a while, and my wife has posted since 98 or 99. There seems to be alot more people who are both disgruntled and poorly informed here nowadays. That may just be my perception, though.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Over the past few weeks, chaos has reigned in the “Freeper” community as members sympathetic to the former mayor's candidacy claim to have suffered banishment from the site.

Though this may be true, why are none of these supposedly banned accounts named? It would lend credence to the claim and is easily verifiable by anyone here.
Let the complainants be named.

[DreamsofPolycarp]

Worse still, and irrespective of that, you're a nasty stalker.

Poor baby had a boo boo. Did the mod kiss it and make it all better?

Good grief. Grow up! You have a history of charging into Ron Paul threads and trolling as hard as you can make your fingers fly.

Now you whine to the mods because he is "stalking" you? I have no problem with you posting, and posting to me when I haven't asked you to, and posting idiotic tripe when I know you are trolling. If I pulled that kind of whiney crap and went to the mods every time you would think me a baby. Yeah.

Again, grow up.

[aculeus]

Quit stalking me, creep.

Fascinating Free Republic trivia: "creep" is available as a screen name.

[soccermom]

LOL! Methinks he doth protest too much!

[soccermom]

Pretty interesting report.

[Petronski]

Now you whine to the mods because he is "stalking" you?

Dragging a disagreement from thread to thread is stalking. The cultish behavior of the L.Ron Paul crew is world-class, like a rash all over the internet--FR included.

[trisham]

The Paulnuts are obsessed.

Some names there I’ll miss.

Shame.

[gpapa]

I forgot Howlin was banned also.
