Recently on the FR Facebook page, while I was heckling a blogger for pimping, he pinged Jim with the accusation that
John Wilson might be humblegunner.. like it was some kinda high crime or something.

I got a giggle out of that.

And then I spelled Lethal wrong like a maroon. *sigh*

[thackney]

You better be careful. Your carefully concealed screen name may be compromised...

[TurboZamboni]

I think they meant Lethal Force.

And nobody has ever seen a PowderMonkey in the wild. Yet.

too late for me...

i have FB but rarely use. is there a direct relationship tp just being on FB or did you have to post your name on FB to be on this list?

[Jim Robinson]

I would assume the risk (in this case) is when the person posts his screen name anywhere that is also associated with his real name.

Thanks for this important info.

I didn’t know FR had a facebook page, I must “like” you all later.

I think a smart person might be able to figure out who I am, since I use this same nom de cyber everywhere.

But, I’m not sure why they’d bother.

I do watch what I say on the internet, but we all get intemperate from time to time.

Then again, it doesn’t matter what we say, to the left we’re all racist, sexist, homophobes anyway.

I have no problem with being outed as a Freeper. I consider it a Badge of Honor. My favorite epithet so far is Freeptard, assigned to me by the fine folks at DU.

Let the “Progressives” do their worst, and through their actions display who they truely are.

After carefully studying that obama signature on your post, I have come to the conclusion that Dear Leader is actually the Zodiac killer.

I just cancelled my facebook account because of that “person” who is siding for amnesty, but I don’t know how long it will take to actually have it CANCELLED! I’m hoping it doesn’t take two years.

After I cancelled my FB account sometime last year, I later learned that the account was still on the FB servers and just waiting for me to log in again. I did. You cannot cancel your FB account and expect it and all your history to be deleted.

I don't know what you're talking about. LOL
