You were a member of Free Republic at one point Torie?
Yes, indeed.
Your moderate stances led to your banning I assume?
I was never banned. I can still post there (but don't). But the era when I could express my opinions without self censorship (including e.g. favoring gay marriage, some gun regulations, legalized first trimester abortions, and Rudy Guiliani) was over. I think the owner avoided banning me because it may have created a bit of a stir - even at the height of his massive purge. Prior to that, over time, I found my participation on FR to be an interesting diplomatic challenge. Brittain33 used to be interested in watching how I handled that, dancing on the high wire without falling off, or so he told me.
