Did you post foul posts?

Did you post from sites after being asked not to?

Did you abide by the wishes of the owner?If you did not you had no right to say you were enraged because you were banned and not answered in your emails.

No one is "owed " a second or third chance.If you are overtaken by sheer rage often,there are classes for that.It's called anger management.(Rage is a reason,not an excuse)

He needs to get the bots under control.

You mean Bots like me? I am out of control? How so?

Hey ferret; you're going out in style.
Over 400 posts. Not bad, huh?

[Texasforever]

Especially you. You are robo-bot. LOL

[MEG33]

LOL!I found this and couldn't resist posting!

Especially you. You are robo-bot. LOL

Ok. But am I out of control? If so, how?

[atomic conspiracy]

Strawmen, authoritarian pronouncements, demonizing comparisons, sweeping generalizations; all couched in the utterly predictable language and moth-eaten buzzwords of the power-seeking fantasy ideologue.
How does it feel to reduce yourself to a cultural stereotype?

Ok. But am I out of control? If so, how?

Well you scared Ferret.

He gets into the news by sitting in tress and generally making a nuisance out of himself.

You misunderstand, the italics indicate that I was quoting from the article.
I was saying that I have disagreed publicly here (rarely) and nobody flamed me. Conservatives tend to think more and as a result respond with real thoughts instead of bile.

You seem to have a problem with freedom, as exercised in an electronic "marketplace of ideas," a phrase that Jefferson used in writing about the First Amendment, If old Tom were around today, I think he'd ask a million questions to understand the Internet, and then its various corners, including finally, this forum.

No one on Free Republic can possibly agree with, or even care about, all the various threads and interest groups which have found a home under this roof. But anyone and any group is welcome here, as long as they have no quarrel with the ground rules of FreeRepublic, which have been set by the publisher.

And rest assured, Jim Rob is the publisher. Even though we are not paid to write here, our continued participation is at his generous discretion.

In my judgment, Jim Rob is a good disciple of Thomas Jefferson. And anyone who goes down that path is a friend of mine. You obviously disagree, and that is your right. But it is the large number of people who stay here and participate, not the few who fire a shot over their shoulder on the way out the door, who define what we are as a community.
