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).
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.
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'.

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".
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?
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
Of course, if Cynicom gets us banned at LP, he'll obviously get stuck with having us here at 4um.
His reasoning skills may be getting a bit rusty when faced with such a dilemma. You can almost hear those creaking gears grinding away, metal fatigue in every sprocket tooth.
Would you come over to 4um and pick up your LP trash that have been over there bad mouthing you???? I have a list if you like? Cyni...
We haven't been bad mouthing Goldi I only read one post by an LPer here which was all-critical maybe I should just speak for myself but I think all things considered she did a great job with her forum because the proof must be in the pudding it was a great forum (no matter what flaws it had) Love, Palo

How do you bold stuff? You're good at THAT sort of thing at least! ;)
But, I don't want to delay your departure a second longer.
(war) Speaking of banned, I know that trixie banned you, but I don't know the reason...did Bill ban you as well and if so why?
Hi my sweet darling Trixie did not ban me, I left Lucianne becuse of her rule posters are not allowed to speak to each other on her forum I realized we posters on forums are there because we love to communicate with each other a no-communication rule, would not work for me the only forum I knew about then was FR, so I went over there
I had trouble at FR because I was critical of Bush and those FR harpies came over and flamed me for 1000 posts for criticizing Bush LOL and a lot of their flames were mentally disturbed :) they weren't yelling at me about my politics they claimed I was having cyber sex with some poster on FR I never even heard of I forget his name now he was a passionate idealist/libertarian I had criticized Bush on that thread (it was about the DOJ) for not bringing the clinton corruption to justice I posted Bush demonstrates there is one law for the rich and powerful and another for schnooks like us And this poster, very sweetly and gently tried to get me to see there is no diff. between Pubs and Dems, they are both evil you know how stubborn I am, War, I stuck to my guns but I was gentle too, and signed the post "Love, Palo" there were only 3 posts on that thread then but I guess a lot of people on FR were bored someone came on (I didn't know anyone at FR then) and pinged a bunch of people and next thing I knew 1000 posts about how I am a slut and having cyber sex with this poster LOL I wish I remember the name of my paramour :) Love, Palo
I give Christine credit we were on FR together then, she saw what was happening to me and she pinged her friend Malador to come to my aid which he did, he was great!
lol internet is a trip! I was a damsel in distress :)
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".
HEH! A Silent Execution - but done so "civilly". You couldn't have riled him up enough (I'm disappointed in you ;-)
During the last few years Robinson's MO has been to first entertain his fawning sycophants by taunting and playing with "trolls" like a cat with a mouse before stamping-out the offending poster's FR accounts.
But, I don't want to delay your departure a second longer.
I dunno, I've grown rather fond of some of you during my sojourn here...especially you and Cynicom who have tried so hard to make me feel welcome. I may stick around forever since I can tell that you'd really really miss me.

Who is Bill?
I have never been banned on any forum (forbidden to post there) but on Liberty Forum, which is self-governing each time a poster posts, everyone can hit a button about the post 3 posters there hated me, so every time I posted they hit button to say it was obscene and disruptive because it is a machine, once it hit 500 (I was not aware of any of this while it was going on) then I automatically became invisible on the forum
this meant if anyone wanted to see any of my posts they had to register "I want to read obscene and disruptive posts" and then my posts would show up for them
I didn't discover this till I posted and then it was invisible to me someone explained it to me in private mail there so naturally I quit Liberty Forum and just went back to LP (I was on both forums then, I think ?) on LP I posted in Biker Bar about my experience on Liberty Forum someone from Liberty Forum a true sweetheart O War, I tell you, internet is a trip! here was a guy from Liberty Forum, a main poster there whose every single post damned Jews to hell (and you know I am Jewish, and I had told them at Liberty Forum) I don't know if you know that forum, but they really do not like Jews there
and this poster read (on LP Biker Bar) what happened to me O what an angel that guy was! went right back to Liberty Forum, posted an article about it and got everyone to rate each one of my posts as "excellent" because the machine automatically takes you off INVISIBLE if you receive 500 "excellents"
I was so deeply touched I went right back to Liberty Forum but after that I was aware of my numbers for "obscene and disruptive" and when I saw them adding up again I thought "this is too nerve-wracking" so I did not come back
I guess not everyone knew I was Jewish there, altho I had posted it several times the ones who caused me all the trouble were not the anti-Jewish posters in fact the nazis on the forum were very nice to me and even invited me to join the BUND :) LOL Love, Palo

Were you 'Palo Verde' during your FR life?
Wow - Having to fend off the usual blood-thirsty gaggles of cowardly Bush-Bot hyenas and jackals is tough enough - but then to have them slander you a la the Democrat Machine?
The names may have changed, but the same idiocy and hypocrisy still reigns, engaging in EXACTLY the same MO these days - AND for the same reason.
No Palo, nothing much has changed at FR.
I give Christine credit we were on FR together then, she saw what was happening to me and she pinged her friend Malador to come to my aid which he did, he was great!"
Good for both of them...Chivalry is NOT dead :-)
Btw, whatever happened to Malador? He was ok in my book.
Goldi would use the ANTI Ron Paul posts as an example of "spam" yet allow those obvious spam posts to stand, right up till the electon.
If it came from a blog and was nothing but pure bullshit, it stayed on LP. If it was a legitimate news article about Ron Paul, it was deleted and the poster would be banned and/or chastised.
Yeah, that is the way I remember it too.

And Hunter was a guy that made Tancredo seem sincere and the Kennedy family against nepotism by comparison.
I got flamed all over the place for outing Hunter as a liar and a poser on his military record. Even had people calling me a phony vet who knew nothing about the army.
Yeah, I noticed that. But you still "done good" to out him. He is sort of like that guy you nailed on FR that time, DITHF.

ON the internet, anyone who can go through a few exchanges without flaming is civil.
Unfortunately, you're right.
I think that's because the poster is attacked instead of the argument; But then again, some assume if the point is "stupid" and "ignorant," then the poster is as well.
I admire those (and I freely admit I'm NOT one) who are able to stay the course on the issue...
Of course those who constant whine to mods, "ad hominem" while sticking the knife in on the other hand can't be respected.
I was one of Ron's early supporters (early as in I voted for him when he ran for President under the Libertarian banner in 1988). I didn't like Goldi's insane antics regarding Ron and his supporters. And I told her so.
