To: WileyCoyote22 I really liked the thread yesterday where a_contender kept going on about the pope, the antichrist, and Roman Catholics being cookie eating idolators. I complained and the thread got deleted, but the poster did not get banned like he should have. I also like threads where the religious hyperright bait posters into arguments, and when they are confronted, they engineer a banning for the person who either caught them in a lie or fought back.

I have read this thread through and noticed that lots of "religions" are freely talked about with all kinds of disdain. As a member of Free Republic, I thought we have free speech. As Americans I thought we have free speech. Why would you want me banned? I never cussed or used vulgar language. I never called any person a foul name. I talked about an "institution" that my bible warns me about. Am I not as free as you to talk about my convictions? You want me banned for quoting bible scriptures and applying them to the 21st century? Are you really for freedoms? You want my freedom of speech taken away? It doesn't "offend" me when freepers tell me the bible is "toilet paper". I don't run to webmaster and complain and try to get them banned. My skin is not that thin. I believe in freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom to associate. Why are not you that tolerant?
And "engeneering a ban"? Isn't that what the "liberals" do?
Why indeed? LOL!
I stood firm against o_p_h's attempt to shout people down and shut them up in a grotesque and wobbly goblin vanity he excreted last week. He soon lost it and exploded in a spray of foul four-letter words and the whole sorry thread got deleted by the clean-up crew. I am confident he blames me, but I had nothing to do with his thread's getting flushed. I don't use the abuse button. Never have and never will.
