Good day all.

I'm hoping to find a home and have read good things about your site.

I was briefly on OnTheLeft.Org however was not welcomed there. I was banished without
a single warning or message from the administrators. I have no idea why - not a clue.

I am slightly right, a 2 time Bush voter. However I am solidly on the Obama bandwagon and looking
forward to his winning the nomination.

I'm in my late 30s, happily married, god fearing, middle america average Joe.

I look forward to making your acquaintance.

So, you're going to say that you're NOT RedStateRebel? If not, why do you need to create a sock puppet? If so, it seems everyone on OTL thinks you ARE RSR. What's up?

Maybe it's because you have a similar view. I just did some research on a few things, and I'm seeing completely different areas that y'all are posting from.

Sorry for my accusations that were solely based on OTL.

Good grief, how ridiculous this is?

Memphis, you're NOT banned. We have added some software that identifies and disallows proxy IP's (at least most of them). I can see that you're still posting with a proxy. Turn it off and you will have no further problems. :)

Had you emailed one of us we would have told you this. You received an email from me last week explaining this all to you. Seems to me you're just trying to make a scene here.

Thank for you responding. I asked about it several times on your site and was ignored. I wish you would have answered earlier.

I cannot turn off the proxy - this is my employers system which employs several security measures to
monitor everything in and out. I cannot even bring a camera phone to work. I only log on at work during down time.

No Problem

As mentioned above - the security where I work is very tight and they use a number
of internet security measures that I fully do not understand.

I'm in Memphis - they tell me that the IP is from India or somewhere odd like that. It may be,
I don't know.

I'm just now getting that RSR= RedStateRebel. I assure you that I am my own man.

Memphis, write to me at TreeHugger@ontheleft.org under the email address in which you registered at OTL. We can continue our conversation from there. Let's not disrupt Coyote's forum here, fair enough?

Welcome Memphis.

Take it as a compliment that you are compared to the great RSR. LoL.

Seriously, welcome aboard. Don't let those guys at OTL get you down. This is a great site with great admin. Spread the word about this site!
