The management of Free Republic owes you exactly nothing, including tolerance. Every one of us here posts by the grace of the owners and their appointed agents.
The management is not that dumb. If they felt that they owed the posters nothing, the number of posters would soon dry up, as would the donations that keep FR going.
FReepers have the most important power when it comes to this site: we can vote with our (electronic) feet and with our wallets. The management has to respect the wishes of the posters, or else this site would turn into a virtual ghost town. Jim Rob and company seem to get that, even though you don't seem to.
