Posted on 'Free' Republic:
My relationship with Jim's Free Republic began in 1998 when I was recovering from cancer which the physicians claimed would kill me within six months.
I'm still here, thanks be to God....and some credit to FR.
Today, I'm back again, but whatever I want to post is apparently not trusted because it has be 'reviewed'. This post will NOT see the light of day, but I just want these 'moderators' to know that the continuance of this will indeed result in the website to become irrelevant and not important to 'Conservatism".
I believe that Mr. Robinson needs to look into this abuse of power by these 'thugs' who make FR look like the least free website on the internet.
Keep it up, Mods, and earn yourselves an award for the most unfair bunch of un-fair free speech Nazis on the internet.

Adios, Free Republic, and adios to Jim Robertson.

Congrats on surviving cancer. And praise God!
We have another cancer survivor here, BobCeleste.
Again, congrats, and welcome aboard!

Me too, twice. Throat cancer in my early 50s, and prostate in my late 60s. -- I was lucky, radiation worked to stop both.

I Salute you all !!

No way, Fred. Why this place is so popular we don't even have fund raisers like JimRob performs. Everyone just donates millions of dollars and this eliminates any need for a fundraiser altogether.

'Moderators' arbitrarily excerpt posts and remove comments they personally feel denigrate the perceived image of the website.

LOL! Well that's certainly no surprise...
He was always such a brainwashed bushbot that I can't imagine him supporting anybody else other than JEB.
So any other exiles or expatriots over there? Luis Gonzalez? Miss Marple?

I didn't suggest otherwise.
It's a therapeutic thing for his 'moderators' as they get to fill themselves with their own self-importance and bully the one's who contribute to the website with both articles and contributions.

This was at the height of Bush Jr. worship, with the daily picture-licking threads created by the addled old cat ladies on FR. "Oh, he's soooooo dreamy - and just look at lovely Laura today; is that a new hat?"
I may have also mentioned how much Hopalong Robinson hated Junior Bush ..... until he got elected, then it was "ban the heretics!" at any negative mention.
Has anybody noticed that, for at least two years, their fundraising moneygrabs are taking more than two months out of every three and each quarter there are only 3 or 4 weeks WITHOUT a fundraising pitch on every screen?

Hopalong's website has become the totalitarian environment they proclaim to oppose.
We are at war with Eastasia, we have always been at war with Eastasia. To believe otherwise is doubleplusungood.

Same here, -- First banned in '04, then invited back a year or so later, -- then. permanently banned again in '07?
JR liked my constitutional stance on most subjects, but could not abide my arguing with his 'key group' of financial supporters. Money came first.

At least here, I noticed the very handy new "Check Pings" ability at the top of threads - thanks for that useful improvement!
But on Hopalong's site, it's still not even possible to edit a post to update or correct errors after what - almost 20 years and millions of dollars dumped upon his head? What other commenting software doesn't allow that these days?
The FR software is still junk and doesn't seem to have been improved in at least a decade - so where does the third-of-a-mil/year go? I suspect the hosting costs for a text-only bulletin board aren't all that expensive. Nor are Olive Garden breadsticks.
