if you ever bothered to sign up for "Free Republic" and got banned...

[Syrinx]

Tell what got you banned.

It was my very first post. And I never tried again.

I commented that I didn't think Ann Coulter seemed very nice.

1. I think it was posting a story about what Paul Wellstone had done for veterans.

I think it was when the VFW had endorsed Wellstone, and FR was in a tizzy over it, and I posted something like, "Well, it makes sense, because he DID do X, Y, an Z for vets." Must have been that liberal-biased reality that was too much.

[DrDan]

posted several comments regarding jeb bush and his theft of state pension funds

2. The slightest hint of heresy gets you tombstoned.

That way, the Freeps can discuss among themselves how "libtards" suppress dissent, won't allow opposing voices to be heard, censor the news, etc.

3. My first post got me banned, too.

It was years ago, but IIRC, it was pointing out the hypocrisy of something, e.g., the Republicans spending like drunken sailors while calling the Democrats profligate.

4. Banned on FR

I said George Bush was a war criminal and had lied about WMD in Iraq.

6. Banned on my first post

I don't remember exactly what I said but it wasn't inflammatory, just mildly critical.

7. So you trolled and and you got banned and this is a breakthrough because...

8. I don't guess I've ever gone over there and for the life of me I hope I never stumble upon them

9. I was banned after my son's second deployment

I said something along the lines of.."It's time for f@cking coward Republicans to send their kids".
Fortunately,I found DU around that time

[woo me with science]

10. That gays should be able to provide foster care

or even adopt children without homes.

[GKirk]

11. I've never thought about posting there....

...I can't stand reading it and the format is just awful.

[Uben]

12. I joined many years ago, but have never posted

I haven't even been there in a couple of years. I have no desire to post anything there because you can't fix stupid.

[liberal N proud]

13. I visited the site once

ONCE!
It was so convoluted that I thought it hard to read and follow any conversations let alone understand their meaning.

I left and never clicked on any link leading to the site.

14. I got booted over a Coulter remark too.

And as I recall it was quite a mild commment.

15. 3rd post: I asked if Dubya had ever apologised in public for something

after he made his 'apology' for Abu Ghraib to the king of Jordan (for some reason), in private. See http://political-apologies.wlu.ca/details.php?table=doc_press&id=111

It was a genuine question (I'd considered asking it on DU, but I knew I wouldn't get a serious answer). One or two of them did actually answer - they said he'd apologised for the collision between the US surveillance plane and the Chinese fighter (strictly, I think he got the US ambassador to make that apology); and I thought they might accept it, seeing as a Freeper shouldn't think a king (especially of another country) was the person to apologise to. But most of them went apeshit, damned me for a pinko commie dirtbag, said there was nothing to apologise about at Abu Ghraib, and I was banned that day. My 2 posts before that had just been factual corrections to something a Freeper had claimed.

16. Registered but never posted...couldn't think of anything

disgusting enough to "fit in", and figured it would be all too easy to get banned the first time I posted what I really thought.

So I never did post anything.

17. I'm active duty Navy

and was stationed on the USS RONALD REAGAN.

During one of their "slob-knobbering" RAY-gun fests about how "great it was to have a capital warship named for this 'double-plus good' Pretzledent", I posted:

"Actually it is fitting that we would name this ship after Reagan...it's $1B over budget, and will be the only ship to respond; 'I Don't Know', when the President asks; 'where are the carriers?'"

Took a few seconds, but I was gone.

So much for their claim of "supporting the troops", eh?

18. I said one of my ancestors opposed slavery
