Free Republic is a house, not the public square. Just a fact.

There actually does seem to be a vetting process.
I signed up in early 2008 and I still remember that my first 10 to 12 posts took a long, long time to be recorded on the thread.
I imagine the same is true today.

If you are REALLY a St. Hubbins then you will be able to name at least three of the traditional activities associated with St. Hubbins’ Day.

In the old days, if you started any HTML thing like "bold", but did not close it, all the following posts would be bold until somebody turned it off in a later post.
It was pretty awesome, especially the marquee thing.
Life was a lot simpler back then.
I had a photo of myself on my about page, and anarchists disseminated it so as to target me at protests during the Al Gore "get out of Dick Cheney's house" era. Happened to others too, in Norcal.

Its your IP address (or similar one), plus the browser and operating system you use, etc., that easily fingerprints you. If you signed up via a new ISP, with a different computer and different browser, and didn’t out yourself as a formerly banned FReeper, no one would know or care, but you brought it on yourself.

2) How many people have you killed?
3) Why?

Well, there was no vetting process back in the day, and had no idea one was instituted.

FR was so free then. Nobody argued with each other. I remember those days when FReepers were actually civil to each other. Now people get on and muck up the threads with their bad moods and pettiness.

So I’ll repeat:
What was your handle before?
To: PistolPaknMama
Was actually poking fun at how old timers reminisce about the old times, but certainly know what you mean. 1986 is well before FR ;-P
