That seems silly. If the article is legitimate, within the scope of allowable discussions, and isn’t a copyright issue, why should we not be allowed to post it.
Lawrence Auster, but since he died I dunno if that makes any difference.
Generally speaking, anything from crackpot sites is not welcome. Most people here can recognize what is and what is not appropriate.

Asher....pretty sure he’s banned.
one of his articles was posted here:

wonder if the poster was banned for it.
Life isn’t always smooth sailing when you’re a FReeper. Sometimes you crash into the rocks.
Agreed. Yet we keep posting stuff from the likes of the Washington Post, or anything similar.
If you'd included a barf alert in the headline I bet you wouldn't have been suspended.
I've seen his work go from resembling conservativish rino to outright Bill Kristol bad.
I wish I could tell you what I know, but I might get suspended so...
Might I propose a technical solution?
It seems to me that a simple script could be written that would check the contents of the author field and the site field and check them against a list of banned authors and sites. If the proposed message contains either, it could not be accepted and a default “banned content” type message returned to the author. The response message could even provide a link to the current banned content list.
Not that it would stop all possible banned content but could act as a pre-filter.
Just thinking out loud here.
I’ve learned there’s no material allowed from VDARE.com because they are considered racists, but they repost Patrick Buchanan, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin, along with their own opinion writers who oppose the flood of immigrants into the country taking jobs from Americans and changing the culture.
I might not agree with all their opinions, but I think they’re entitled to them if we still are a truly free society.
ZeroHedge got blocked today
i got busted a bunch of times for posting the same banned author.
It was embarrassing, I shouldn’t have kept making the same mistake.
BTW, I was also suspended for like a few hours.
Without knowing the way the system works, I’m thinking it might be some automatic process when they delete an offending post.
Mind you, I was saying how it was good to wish terrible suffering on our enemies, and not posting that creep Edmund Wright.
Oh boy I used to drive that fool so crazy!
I don’t know if he writes anymore but...

Ted Rall. I didn’t get banned but was politely informed by other freepers, and the post came down.
