You know what, dude? You're obviously not happy here. So go find someplace where you can be happy. Life's too short to be unhappy, bitter, and angry.

Banning and censoring many more is not a conservative trait.

Furthermore, I'm tired of your trashing Jim. He's a good man. He is not heavy-handed. If anything, he is far too patient and tolerant IMO. I wish he'd kick some tail a litte more often than he does. Sometimes I really get aggravated with him for letting FReepers behave so nasty toward each other. But Jim's way is not my way. He prefers to let FReepers work things out amongst themselves. And in that respect, he demonstrates the concept of "limited government." He limits his intervention until it becomes absolutely necessary. He & the mods are not babysitters. And they shouldn't have to be.

Rules unevenly applied is not a conservative trait.

FR has more than one moderator. When there are multiple human beings involved in anything, you're going to encounter different perspectives and judgments. If I disagree with a decision, I speak up. Jim is reasonable. He takes things under consideration. He doesn't ignore valid complaints and suggestions. Sometimes he agrees. Sometimes he doesn't. That's life.

Hate, which is rampant here, is not a conservative trait.

So you want Jim to stop banning & censoring, but you also want him to censor what you determine as "hate." How can he do both? Give him some specific sugestions. He'll take it under consideration. I give him my sugestions when I have them. Sometimes he says "nope." Sometimes he says "okay." He can't please everyone all of the time. And he shouldn't try.

Thanks Jim, and I amongst others, appreciate your hard work and dedication.

This would surely be a dull and boring world if everyone agreed lockstep with everyone on all subjects.

As to the dissidents, real or imagined, remember everyone pleases everyone else, some by entering a room and others by leaving.

FWFS Shipmate.

but the thing is FR had become something less than a feeling of "I'm home" in the last few months

Looks like maybe you had another user name??? You've only BEEN here for a few months. Tell me my math is off and I'll apologize...

Thank you, Jim. This site has made a deference, in the life of this country, in the cause of conservatism and in our individual lives. Blessings on you!

Give 10 examples of the hate that is rampant here...

Thanks!

Along the way we became a great big family that played together, fought together, prayed together. We realized that this on-going fight was much bigger and had a lot more meaning than just the constitution and fighting corruption. The real fight turns out to be a fight to restore our traditional American way of life and to restore faith in God to a nation and a people who had lost their way and was completely demoralized. America cannot long survive if it turns its back on God!!

You are a wonderful writer, Jim Robinson.
