62. Several glaring self-contradictions stand out

in your post. I will address only one of them.

In the above post you create the impression that your 4 years at Free Republic were spent in vain.

I left there in 2006, and spent my time there battling over science and bigotry. It was a wasted effort.

But here
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=248827

and in several other posts on the same thread, you profess to be proud of doing a lot more than educating Freepers.

...I also worked quietly to provoke people into behavior that got them banned at that site. I was acting as a provocateur and disrupter at that site. I was very successful at that.

How do we know that you are not using the same skills you perfected at FR just to get people banned from this site?
