While the title says it all, I thought a goodbye was in order.
While I've been a FReeper for well over a decade, I must declare that it is time to part ways. While I have the greatest respect for a great many of you, the days where I can in good conscience remain silent about the issues that set me apart from the rest of FReeperdom have past. For clarity, or perhaps catharsis, I'm not entirely certain which, I'll lay them out on the table an call the ZOT™ down upon myself.
The racism: I just can't handle it anymore. FR has become increasingly racist since President Obama took office, and enforcement has dropped. Now, not a single crime can be reported with an "amish" comment, and I've yet to see a post express embarrassment or shame when lo and behold sometimes the perpetrators turned out to be lily white.
Homosexuality: FR is on the wrong side of history on this one, and I'll just leave it at that.
Mostly though, it's the hate. More and more posts reference violent solutions to political disagreements. Some subtly couched, others make no pretense. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I read in the morning paper that a FReeper murdered a federal bureaucrat or a federal judge.
I've learned so much, from so many of you, and for that I'm grateful. I genuinely and truly wish all of you well, and sincerely hope you all live out the rest of your lives in happiness.

Yo, Rip Van Winkle, McLame didn't run in the last election.
Check their posting history.
I don’t want to. I’m afraid! My stomach is feeling weak today. ;^)
It's either a kid or a concern troll.
Wow, no replies of substance, just mockery of my saying McCain instead of Romney. I’m sure somewhere there is a forum for people on the right who haven’t borrowed the whiny, militant tactics of the left, but I don’t know what it is.
You guys are almost indistinguishable from a bunch of DUers.
You said nothing of substance to reply to. Your screed was nothing but lies.
What is a concern troll?
So much for his integrity! ROTFLMAO
wtc911 is a liar, a fraud and a race-baiting Race Pimp.
It doesn’t seem like lies to me. Hyperbole, definitely. But not lies.
Now, I do see a lot of lying in online forums (I’ve been on many) and sadly that includes this one. And much of it comes from people who are religious and presumably believe in the Ten Commandments, but don’t seem to follow the 9th one (8th if you’re Roman Catholic).
Their posting history would give you a fair idea of it.
He came back, and I’m glad he did. Reading posts from reasonable people is always a pleasure.
He can certainly be insulting.
wtc911 is a liar, a fraud and a race baiter. I fail to see the reasonableness in those things. He has been called out on it often enough.
Thanks. I'll make a note that re_nortex is a member of this forum with whom one can have civil discourse. Fregards.
Relax. He’s talking only about the negative people. There are far more positive people than negative people here.
On the homosexuality issue, you’re on the wrong side of eternity.
To: wtc911"Sometimes it's hard to see past the blackness: we do have a tendency to assume all black males are high testosterone potential rapists."Only a moron or a race-baiting Culture of Victimhood hustler would fail (or claim to fail) to see the tone of repentance and the self-admission of a false perception of blacks in that statement. The very essence of it is a recanting of the attitude of prejudging people.
When Eric Holder said this was "a nation of cowards" when it comes to openly discussing race he failed to say who was to blame for that. It is those like you who speak in the very worst tradition of the race hustler who jump on the mere mention of race relations with the mentality of a buzzard.
Facts be damned, logic be damned, truth be damned nothing matters to the likes of you but feeding your own ego and pushing the agenda. You are every bit the phony advocate of race relations as Al Sharpton. A complete fraud who cares nothing about the real issue and whose actions only serve to make things worse.
