Freepers. It is Time to Heal Our Wounds

"This will probably get me banned, but, to heal, one must start by forgiving. So, why not start by reinstating those who were banned for such things as religious and political views."

And how about reinstating those who broke no rules except stating an opinion on a criminal law case that disagreed with the moderator and/or the moderator's friends? And what about leaving the Smokey Backroom to be what Jim Robinson stated it was to be? Right now, there's no more freedom of expression in the SBR than there is in the rest of the forum. Disagreeing with a moderator's pet can get a message, thread, or membership pulled, even there.

Hoping this doesn't get me banned either, but until something is done about this situation, my pocketbook is superglued shut.

I am requesting that they give an automatic one hour timeout to every Freeper, including JimRob for any inappropriate comment.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Please add me to the ping list.

I want to watch...

Joe, I come here once or twice a day to read through fifty or so posts. I add a little, but mostly I just read. I've got to tell you that I haven't a clue what you are talking about. Was there a fight I missed? I suppose it's a good thing I missed it, but if it was an important fight, I may have weighed in...

TO ALL: I have met Badjoe and JimRob. It's my considered judgement that we at Free Republic would not be here without JimRob and without Badjoe to help keep the lights on. Who would we argue with, pray with, give advice to, and accept advice from? Where would we go to get the insights that are NOT provided on CNNABCNBCCBS? I hope that whatever the ruckus is about, it's small enough that we can still see the big picture. I, for one, will double my monthly commitment in order to do my part to keep this information source open.

Thanks all and Be Well...

Sorry to wreck the lovefest.

Tsk, tsk.
Hater! Don't you know it's 'closure' time?

[Focault's Pendulum]

I didn't post on that one. I'd like my name attached to this one. : )

Same here.

You're probably the one spreading the rumor that Elvis is dead.

Just when a person thought he's seen everything...

[Constitution Day]

NC ping!

Yes, I am going to post the meeting report TODAY.

[ImpBill]

I'm here everyday and I miss quite a bit ... INTENTIONALLY ...

One learns in time which threads to ignore and which posters to ignore. Saves the sanity.

One also learns which freepers posting have a real life outside posting on FR.

Let's all be reasonable and do things my way.

[lodwick]

bvw - meet FReD
Now you may have seen everything. ;-)

[bvw]

What I hate is this hubris you expressed -- an attitude of ignoring those whose political opinions you deem marginal.

[KLT]

Isn't that all true lodwick....we don't do any of those things...ever...LOL

[dubyagee]

You read too much Rand. Real life doesn't work like that.

I read Rand. I like Rand. I'm a Christian and could also be considered a "Bush-bot" although I don't scrap it out on the threads. Don't label everybody.

Once you've made your point, what's the use in bashing it over their head with a frying pan. That just creates further damage to the brain. ; * )
