Poohbah's Opus

Thank you, I appreciate the opportunity to have a discussion about this. Might be tough, though as I read the various remarks.

I suppose it is the thought that counts.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks! Just wanted people to know how I felt.

[don-o]

I thought everybody knew how poor I was...:-)

No, I did not. Sorry. Can you walk - collect cans for recycle?

Poor you..opus coming?

[michaelt]

No one is immune. I've done it. What was the line in that Dilbert cartoon? Something like "You're pretty brave in cyberspace, flame boy."

How much are old sign up dates worth? :-) I recently found out I am user 4751. That's half as low as his.

[Gumption]

You are number 96965.

Click on your name.
Then click on "in forum".
Look in the address bar (where it says http://www.freerepublic.com/...), at the end of the address is your sign up number.

Poor you..opus coming?

The noive, the gall! I can't take it! Wah!

[lilmsdangrus]

agreed. and the only place I come to for my news. but when I don't like the way a thread is going, I leave it, for pete's sake! I don't write a self important opus!!

[John Lenin]

Couldn't you just leave quietly ?

[nopardons]

That too, but I wouldn't recommend it. :-(

I'm in the minority on policy discussions often enough to know what it's like. Heck, I was a Tom McClintock supporter. But I didn't respond to the regular pounding I took by creating or joining my own little clique here. Every single group of FReepers that has done that in the past is gone, every last one of them.

Remember "The Coven"? The libertarian absolutists? The anti-FReepers? All these folks segregated themselves in the same way that "WPPFF" is doing now, and none of them are here any more.

I respectfully suggest that your annoyance at the persistence of the Schiavo case will be lessened greatly by understanding the other point of view undistorted, even if you don't agree with it. If you still feel compelled to lessen the Terri-saturation level, then go out and find other interesting articles to post that people can discuss instead, that's something that's worked for me in the past when I was similarly situated.

Nixon said much the thing in 1962, pouting all the way.

Aw come on. Don't worry. YOU'LL come back.

They havent even banned your account. I'll bet you are still reading these.

Take a good Truman Walk, take a breather, come back in a month or two, and we'll talk about it.

I alos didn't know that Christian Identity was a racist group. Silly me I thought it was referring to being a Christian.... Pooh needs to apologise to DBR if he was calling her/him a racist. After all Poohbah is lamenting the ugliness of the posters of late, hopefully Poohbah didn't mean to contribute to the atmosphere he/she so obviously hates.

There's a great deal of "dish it out but can't take it" with many of these people.

[arjay]

I am sorry to see you go. FR seems to be going to nutty extremism and I am seriously considering following you.

[Peach]

LOL.

Me neither. He's quite forgetable and it seems to hurt his feelings.

[meema]

Bye, Pooh. You know how sad I am to see you go, already. Take care, and come back when you feel better about this, please.

[AlbionGirl]

but the reality is that I simply can't handle the public rejection of my views, or the often ugly remarks, rhetorical slings and arrows of others, and even personal attacks

Bumpus ad sumum! Nobody expects the inquisition, especially a grand poobah!

[Coop]

Chad said nothing to you, and nothing that should have offended you personally. I call that unprovoked.

Then I guess it's fair to apply your own criteria to you. Why are you viciously and savagely attacking me?
