It Appears There Are Hijacked Freeper Accounts
3/1/15

Posted on 03/01/2015 2:25:18 AM PST by Enlightened1

I found three Freepers (in the last 24 hours that prior to a few days ago (10 days at the most) have not been active in a very long time...... At least a year and a half or more. The other two Freepers have no posts for 7 years and 3 years.

Now prior to that time gap all would have maybe 1 or 2 posts a years several years ago. Yet in the last few days they are posting a lot. I find that very odd?

I think these accounts have been hijacked by the opposition?

For those that are wondering what is an Internet Troll? Trolls, post a deliberately provocative message or messages to a newsgroup or message boards/threads with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument. This is done primarily by opposition groups.

I'm sure someone could figure out WHO is doing this. We just need to do a trace route on the account to see where it's coming from.

Here are some articles about it for anyone that does not know about this. Watch your 6 Freepers.

I saved it to my home page.

If you would like another laugh, welcome to my home page to read the biography of Brian Williams.

I had a lot of fun with that one.

Notice that he refuses to return to this thread, or his other thread where he started his retread troll, vanity nonsense.

"Penguins in Bondage" is like "Peaches en Regalia" or "Mudsharks." They are essential elements of the Zappa experience, truly sine qua non. If you don't have "Penguins in Bondage," you ain't got squat. I'm so glad you approve. Frank isn't for everyone. When someone asks me, "May I be Frank?," I always snicker inside at the thought.

...my son's account...he won’t comment because he types too slowly.

Seriously? Does he know he can take a day or even a week or two to type a response in the reply box, then hit "POST"? My goodness he is slow...

He says he can’t type fast enough to keep up with the back and forth replies that goes on sometimes at free republic. I can assure you that his typing skills are the only things “slow” about him.

Is this where I check in to make sure I get to hijack my account?

We are right here, and I still contend that the lesser evil, while perhaps still being evil, is better than the greater evil. While hoping for a Cruz, Mike Lee or even Walker, I will still pull the lever for the person I see doing more good instead of harm to this country. I will not waste my vote on a 3rd party candidate that has no chance of winning. Because that is a vote for the person that will do more harm, than good to this country and her citizens.

Just as the lesser sinner is better than the greater sinner.. They are both sinners, it's just the degree to which they sin and what sins they commit..

Just remember, we can't always get what we want, but if we try sometimes we'll find, we get what we need.

Now that I am not posting as often the government school defenders have mostly disappeared.

The Bully has learned her place and has learned to play nice. And neither of us are stalking you. And replying with your usual insipid response is indeed a response that speaks more to your state of mind.

I might start, though.. just in the spirit of friendly retaliation.

Interestingly guess who does have a posting history that looks like someone preparing a sleeper account and then activating it.

He signs up and makes a token post, and then doesn't post for almost a year, and then posts a thread and is off and running as a troll.

He made his first sign up post on 5/9/2013, and then goes dormant for almost a year, but now he is prolific and is trolling for Rand Paul, and won't even respond on his own vanity conspiracy threads.

I will not be responding to the content of your posts. Of course, if you continue to post to me, some may conclude that you are stalking.

Who might conclude that? Seriously give us the names so we can direct them to some of your loonier posts and comments.

If you can't provide names than I can think of two people that will conclude you are just saying this to get attention.

That leaves you free to respond to the font or the placement or the tone of my posts.
