This is Mr. Robinson's site and, unquestionably, he's free to run it as he see fits. That's the beauty of free-market capitalism. But as a Christian, I'd like to suggest that referencing hillbuzz as a source be disallowed here on FR.

I would like to suggest you read the constitution, the part about free speech. On second thought, you should read the whole thing and try to understand that censoring someone's speech is not in the interest of freedom. As you said, this is the Robinson's site and they can either allow or disallow whatever they want. Hopefully they won't start barring people simply because they reference a quote from a liberal site.

Quite right on all points. In the fresh light of a new day, my posting last night concerning HillBuzz was, at best, a cranky, ham-fisted ``get off my lawn!'' moment.

My fault is that I reacted viscerally and emotionally both to the image of Hillary Clinton and to the ``Boystown'' link over there and should have counted to 10 (or maybe 20) before hitting the ``Post'' button. Like many here, I found the article at HillBuzz about George Bush in the wake of the Ft. Hood terrorist attack deeply moving. I think that is more the measure of those people and I should have remembered that.

In the lively exchange of ideas and opinions here on FR (which I've used as a source of news since 9/11/2001, albeit only a recent poster), disallowing certain sources to be cited would make this venue little more than an echo chamber.
