Well, I've been banned again!

[Ben Kenobi]

Just wanted to post here to air the truth, since Connie doesn't want to see the truth anymore.

Connie banned me for trying to start a war on Free Dominion. I asked one question, one, whether the protest they did for the Omnibus bill would also be used for Linda Gibbons, since she just had her case dismissed by the SCOC.

Connie, did not send me a PM, did not ask me anything prior to banning me.

I want to assure her and all the folks still at FD, that I did not want to start a war, or anything of the sort. I just wanted my question answered. The war is not coming from the prolife people on her forum that are sticking up for the unborn.

No, it's coming from people like WestViking who post that prolifers are liars and frauds. I want to thank freelife2 for sticking up for me, and I hope he sees this post, since I cannot PM him at Free Dominion.

I want to thank him for standing up for me and for the truth.

I really wish Connie wouldn't tell unsubstantiated lies about other posters, especially when they cannot reply to said unsubstantiated lies.

I like Connie, I really do. I sent her a message a few weeks previous encouraging her and asking for her to keep up the fight. Does that sound like the actions of someone determined to war with the site? No.

I am sorry that she finds uncomfortable questions difficult. I did not ask it because I thought it would be a hard question, but because I wanted an answer one way or another.

And I seem to have gotten that answer with my ban.

So thank you, Connie, once again. The difference between me and you is that I forgave you for what you did to me last time, while you have not. Which is a shame. I was shocked when you let me back on the forums, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see myself getting banned again.

I'm not going to air out the previous disagreement, but I am going to say this. I did not intend, nor have I ever intended to start a war on FD. If Connie wishes to continue making unsubstantiated agreements, then I encourage her to post the content of my most recent PM to her prior to this whole thread.

Thank you for your time.

Sorry to hear about your banning.....

Anyways, you are welcome to post here, just be respectful and follow our rules........

I started a friendly thread five years ago in Free Dominion and looking back at it, I realized that Connie has a penchant for booting out people she doesn't like. She was not very friendly to a new poster like me and instead of welcoming a new member, she questioned my staying up late posting on her site. Bill and I have just known each other when I joined there and to show my support for him, I joined Free Dominion to see what's happening in Canada. Connie knew exactly that I am legit and I don't need to prove that I'm NOT that "New York City lawyer with a penchant for sock puppets" that one of her supporters assumed because as administrator/owner of a website, she has access to each of the members' IPs. I was probably a threat to her being a Whatcott supporter and If I'm not mistaken, almost all of Bill's friends were gone there now.

Anyways, I enjoyed the discussion and the friendly gestures of some of the posters there including her husband Mark, Bill, Backhoe, you Ben and I appreciate what you did for me. I haven't read the thread of the cause of your banning (again) and honestly speaking, I won't even waste my time to read it not because I don't care for you but because I already know the color of their skin in my short stay there. Most were sarcastic and made fun of the friendly person that I was in them. That being said, I am now Mrs. Bill Whatcott and I guess Connie can enjoy eating her big plate of liver and onions.

For those of you who are wondering what really happened, here's the 17-page thread:

I believe I was the last, and I was only recently reinstated. I too, was one of the NY City lawyer's 'sockpuppets' which is why I was banned in the first place. You're very right that Connie simply bans people she doesn't like. That is why I was so shocked when she reinstated me after 5 years away.

Anyways, she's been stalking me on facebook - see her comment on my 'mentor' so, if she sees this here, she's quite welcome to air out the truth, that I had no desire to start a war on FD, then or now. I like the place, but sadly, most of the decent folks are gone now and the place is a shadow of it's usual self.

you Ben and I appreciate what you did for me

Worth the ban, then and now. You were in the right. I'll stick up for anybody if I believe them to be in the right, same with Bill. There was no evidence that you were a sockpuppet of any sort. If she could brand us both as 'sockpuppets', then it becomes easy to justify our support for each other.

I said it to her many moons ago, that you cannot hope to stand in favor of pro conservative speech, and stand against pro life speech. The two are intertwined. She's hoping to split the difference, so that she can get her speech protected while at the same time not having to accommodate speech that she doesn't like. So, it's really just like Stephen Harper - banning speech he doesn't like in favor of speech that he does, they just draw their lines in different places. I can't see how one can argue for being a crusader for free speech, and then prevent the posting of graphic abortion pictures. Makes no sense to me then and now.

Anyways, it's a silly thread. I won't post it here. All I did was ask a question and got banned for asking it!

Thanks for being patient with me here, I just wanted to get it off my chest after reading what she posted about me AFTER she banned me. If she wants to know my motivations, then she'd best ask me and not assume.

no way, you gotta be kidding!

no worries, you're welcome anytime here!

It's in the FD thread, she made a comment referring to something that I said on facebook. Any port in a storm :)

And they lose the appeal and will be going to trial.

Connie mocked me for leaving Canada, isn't it obvious that it's not a free country for conservatives? I don't have 50k lying around to fight and defend my opinions. I'm just a poor teacher trying to get his start.

I'll see what I can do to roust up some folks down here. Texas doesn't put up with this lawfare crap.
