I post on TBL. I am a proud newbie there. Is it now a crime to post on another website?

Well they do bash Jim and FR relentlessly on that site ....yet you then come into Jim's House, thinking you should be received as a guest, and sit at his table??? Why not just go to a site who doesn't bash your friend here?

BTW I dont' ever remember Jim telling anyone who they have to vote for. Your mistaken to suggest he has.

I don’t insult anyone. Well, not often - I can get a mite riled up at times, not being the most even tempered person in the universe. Those times I normally hit abuse on my own posts and ask they be removed, then apologise via freepmail to whoever it was.
Any mod can confirm that. So can anyone I have insulted in the past (probably three or four people).

I am happy to come in, sit on Jim’s porch and shoot the breeze with like minded people. Fetch along the odd 6 pack too, or start discussions (sometimes provocatively - ask DJ or wagglebee about my abortion thread sometime).

I simply got saddened then irritated by what, to me, seemed like censorship of free speech via zotting.
I don’t make the mistake of assuming that free speech means you can say what you like and damn about the feelings of others. Posted about that here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2876381/posts?page=535#535 or see the last line on my profile page. But I do believe that everyone has the right to be heard even if - or especially if - they see things differently from you.

How else do you continue to learn and grow?
