And, fwiw, in my direct dealings with JR he was reasonable and a gentleman.
I have to agree with blue, anyone that knew RimJob and paid attention could not but help coming away with the knowledge that he was a con artist at best.
Robinson conned hundreds of people, so you are not alone.
Ron Paul was indeed as principled and as intellectually honest a politician as possible...
Not right on all the issues (but who is?), but no one could accuse him of conspired against We-The-People as 90% in Congress and in the Executive Branch have.
Look at the source for deCoster's last link. I'll be surprised if that doesn't draw the attention of certain self-appointed guardians of politically correct speech.
Anyway, I thought it notable since the linked site normally can't get such link traffic from a site as big as LRC is. Certainly, I've never seen such a link there before. It's a bit of a risk for them.
We know posters here like that. The kind that duck dodge hide by saying things like "Both parties are corrupt but republicans are evil.." It's the "BUT" that exposes their true colors. My patience...tolerance if you will...is gone for those who participate in this mad display of cognitive dissonance.
Yeah, the R's ARE evil (most of them anyway) but so are most of the D's. Almost all of them are just bought-and-paid-for whores doing the bidding of the real powers behind the scenes (the bankers).

Happy now? Feel better? Got to the bottom of that one.
I already had. You just didn't like it. :)
Now, to get to the bottom of JEWIER.
My stars, with all caps now. I'm starting to get a real kick out of this. As an aside, I'll point out that it is a rare word in that it rhymes with 'chewier'.
I think most of us can recognize how destructive that [Private mail] was at FR...I thought private mail was so detrimental at FR that I liked LP better for not having the feature.
Aye...
Before you knew it, suddenly a half-dozen zombified Freepers would descend on their "victim" like Night 0f the Living Dead - and it's still occurring. The predictable punctuation would be the appearance of Der Fuhrer himself, Jim Robinson to deliver the Final ZOT.
True, the lack of the mail-feature made an organized lynch-mob far less likely."At LP, there were times I might have liked to exchange a note with a likeminded person."
THAT much is true, and on the plus-side of the ledger for having a inter-forum mail feature.
I joined FR in 1997 or so. I was banned after 9/11 for daring to question Der Leader in Wartime.
My opinion about FR, aside from what I have already posted here, is that once Clinton's cock was out of the mix, it was doomed to go the way of stolybreath.com. I'm surprised that there is any interaction there. I may go check it out today because we've kind of put it in the cage but, as a site, I found most of the threads to be echo chambers bereft of any real exchanges and it's ben years since I've lurked and months since I've even looked at it..
Sneak...you and I agree almost all the never...this is the one time I will agree with you...you never called for anyone to be banned...
Hi war I agree with you I never saw Pete ask for anyone to be banned and while we are at it, I compliment you on this too it seems to me you never wanted anynoe banned and you always wanted the banned to be unbanned Love, Palo
She took repeated dumps on Ron Paul and his supporters
She even threatened to ban people for posting articles about Ron. Do you remember that? She said something to the effect that she didn't want to see any more articles about him unless he had died or something. Real class, eh?

It seemed to me to be a venue in which all of the kids who through the years had been denied a place at the Kewel Kids table or had been pummelled in dodgeball decided to congregate to plot their revenge. Kind of an everted Lord of the Flies.
LOL - well put.
" Oddly, enough, I wasn't banned there until a couple of years ago when some Dick tried to engage me in a cross forum war. And, fwiw, in my direct dealings with JR he was reasonable and a gentleman."
IF you happened to engage a Brownshirt Mod directly while he/she was in their poster-mode (and began wiping the floor with that poster), you became a candidate for banning.
As to JR reacting "reasonable and gentlemanly," THAT must have been a looong time ago in another galaxie - before he became a "celebrity" pr*ck and Stalinist tool of the GOP/Bush/NWO machine.
Hey, how much of a moron does one have to be to actually get banned at LP?
Goldi is a capricious moderator. You can call people niggers and threaten ethnic cleansing but call her a liar when everyone can clearly see she is lying and you get banned.
She is a fairly stupid, illogical woman. I find it hard to believe she kept it going so long. It started coming apart at the seems when she started banning Ron Paul supporters for the crimes of a few trolls who spammed the board with anti-paul topics, then sided with them. And now she is using the same rhetoric many paul supporters used. She doesn't know what she believes, and is inconsistent.
It's up there in interest with having root canal...
While I no longer post at LP, there is a heck of a lot more traffic (although not as much as in earlier days) so I go there to read threads and to get articles to post here. That is, when I am able to post at all. Most days I'm lucky if even get to look at LP or f4um. I'm usually too busy with school, but it's spring break, so I've allowed myself the luxury. Sigh. Being back in school at 43 is a hell of a lot harder than it was back in my 20's.

Mmmm...back to padlock and yukon and Magician...you make it sound so attractive. :)
I do like this version of the forum software a bit better, despite the inclusion of the mail feature.
Of course, all these political forums need to finally move past Perl/Php stuff and go to Web 2.0 and AJAX. At least, if you ever want to grow and draw the energetic younger crowd. Ron Paul did well that way, something the political forums should look at more closely.
Bandwidth doesn't have to go up just because you get AJAXy. Or even just AJAXier than some other site.
You still put faith and trust in various governing schemes and scams.
You mistake what trust is.
The law is what it is. And just because a legislative body CAN legislate it does not mean that we should trust what comes out of them. By the same token, we can't immediately call all legislation unconstitutional just bcauise we do not like it.

Well...my definition of "reasonable" is that he did what I requested that he do and when I told him thank-you he responded with "you're welcome" then banned my account as a "Troll".

the funny thing is I was at DIGG at the time I had left LP in protest of the banning of Ron Paul articles I was posting on Ron Paul threads at DIGG (it was a Sunday morning) when Breaking News article in the Ron Paul section on DIGG went up with title something like Liberty Post owner calls for Ron Paul asassination obviously I misread it I thought "O no Goldi has lost her marbles" I immediately clicked the link to it on DIGG and there were about 1000 posts on thread the actual title was different -- it was something like no articles about RP allowed unless he is assassinated which is very bad! I had not been lurking on LP after I left so I was fascinated to read that long thread and I have to tell you after all my struggles and ups and downs trying to be on DIGG plus I did not know anyone there I found that 1000 post thread, it later became 2000 posts totally thrilling reading I spent 2 whole days reading it there were so many interesting posts, perceptive posts, the discussion was so hot and heavy, and vivid I had never lurked on LP (only been a poster) I hadn't appreciated how much intelligence there was on that forum, until I lurked on that long long thread then I clicked on 4um, which had an extraordinary Ron Paul article posted, by Jacob Hornberger I was so grateful to 4um for discovering it and posting it and I took it right over to LP and posted it in Breaking News another poster (Pern) had defied Goldi's ban that day too, I give him so much credit he inspired me to defy it it was like a revolution on LP Pern went right on defying her ban and posting Ron Paul articles in Breaking News but I only did 3 altogether, when they were great articles and I stayed on LP ever since Love, Palo
