Free logicians have conflicting intuitions concerning the existential implications of atomic sentences. The present paper offers a way of accommodating such conflicting intuitions within a single language, allowing for both simple and complex predicates. The semantics of this language is a variation on Bencivenga's semantics for free quantification and identity theory.
