Ping to post #15

I just want to give you guys an idea of what I deal with as the keeper of this 12 years running ping list.

This unit, Responsibility2nd, frequently pings me to various threads filled with libertarian hatred all the time (at least 5 today - quite obsessive). His pings are usually tagged with what he thinks is a witty - but usually pretty lame - anti-libertarian remark.

Well today, it actually pinged me to a Child Porn thread...

CHILD PORN!

His posting history of hatred against libertarian leaning folks on FR is quite apparent if you dig back. But by pinging the Libertarian list owner to a CHILD PORN thread, he has more or less just tacitly accused over 400 freepers of endorsing CHILD PORN.

CHILD PORN!

Now I've been on FR for almost a decade, and I've really never seen anything this far beyond the pale. All of you mothers, sisters, brothers, Marines, Grunts, financial wizards, and genreally great freepers who have been on my list for years - this is what this creature thinks you're about...otherwise it wouldn't be trying to use my list to reach you.

Is this really what this forum has become?

PS: I really never ping trolls, and never will again. But I just wanted you guys to know, this is what is out there nowadays. And apparently it's allowed to operate freely...

I struck a nerve did I? Over target - receiving flak and all that, huh?

Look; I could link child porn to the libertarian mindset if I wanted to, but that’s not the issue I’ll make at this time.

What is the issue, what is obvious to all here at FR - and becoming clearer by the day - is that modern libertarianism is anathema to all things conservative. Its immoral.

I’d no sooner support a libertarian than a RINO. And the sooner you social libs understand this is the overriding ideal here at FR and get on board with conservative values, the better off you’ll be.

I know. It's disappointing that guys like that never seem to get the ZOT.

Kinda makes FR look bad.

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you.

Incidentally, just sayin’ — I simply skip posts written by a small handful of FReepers such as the loon above, even if they’re addressed to me, and even when they’re not. It makes for much better reading and food for thought. The poor bastard is “mental,” as they used to say.

Thanks for taking the time to share this bamahead.

BRAINSTORM SUGGESTION! It looks very much like Responsibility 2nd is stalking you. Now, a certain similar creep who libels anyone self-defining as small-l libertarian as “child porn loving” etcetera depraved monster, who shall remain unnamed, has managed to get some of my posts deleted on the grounds of “stalking.” So apparently it works. Clearly R2nd is stalking you if he’s pinging you to child porn threads (yeeeeeeeigh ... what a creep) ... Anyway, just a thought. I really hope these rabid nutcases who libel God-fearing FReepers this way start to get a few warning zots.

To the defense of FR and the mods, they can’t do anything if no one hits the abuse button. There are too many threads to monitor. To their further defense and credit, I’ve hit the abuse button several times while at FR and with very few exceptions, the post in question has gone away in a matter of minutes. Including those times when I’ve hit the button on myself. The key is know the rules and stick to them and insist that others do so as well.

Every time anyone hits that post button they are advised to not engage in personal attacks. So don’t accept those attacks when and where you see them. Make FR a better place.

Not surprised at all bamahead. There are some units that are seriously deranged at the thought we might want to have a little economic and political freedom. That one was identified long ago.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Been there, done that, friend. Don’t wanna go back. Ignore it.

I’d like to point out that Jim prefers a light-hand-on-the-tiller (libertarian?) approach to most issues that involve discord between/among Freepers. It works. Sometimes it takes a while, but it works. At first, I really didn’t like that approach. I mean really didn’t like it. Now, I’m glad he handles it that way because it makes me really think about how I interact here.

Sarah Palin is proud of her libertarian streak. As am I. I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict that Sarah Palin ain’t okay with child porn. Neither am I. In the end, what another thinks about me is none of my business. So I won’t make it my business by being concerned. (Laz taught me that. Love you, buddy.)

[Still Thinking]

So sorry, bamahead. Some people are such idiots. Course if he wasn’t an idiot, he be libertarian! Keep up the good work, all of us on your ping list greatly value your pings!!
