BK>>   This echo went through a couple moderators in my time here. The   
    BK>>   last one before me was Peter Bradie. He specifically chose me as   
    BK>>   co-moderator because we held opposite views. He was a hard core   
    BK>>   conservative.   
      
    JM> Not even close to being a hard core conservative.   
      
    Not by current goose stepping standards. Today lifelong   
    republicans are called RINOs. Dissent is not allowed in the Tea   
    Republican Party.   
      
    BK>>   There was also the fact that I made the mistake, when he   
    BK>>   announced his intention to appoint a co-mod, to post that I   
    BK>>   would obviously be a bad choice because we were such opposites   
    BK>>   in view. He responded with "you got the job" more or less.   
      
    BK>>   Peter turned the echo over to me fully when he was diagnosed   
    BK>>   with cancer that had spread to his brain. Peter died, he didn't   
    BK>>   just leave the echo.   
      
    BK>>   We miss him.   
      
    JM> WHo's that? you and the mouse in your pocket?   
      
    Do you think you are the only person in the world?   
      
    JM> I had forgotten the jerk's name till you brought it up.   
      
    Jerk? Anyone who doesn't follow you like a puppy is a jerk? He   
    was a hard core conservative, and a Bush defender.   
      
    ...   
      
    BK>>   No one has ever been banned simply for speaking his mind.   
      
    JM> Yes they have if speaking their mind went against your   
    JM> sensitivity.   
      
    Show any example. Flames got people banned, disagreement never   
    did.   
      
    Did you get banned for disagreeing with me?
