I'M IN SEVERAL FB GROUPS

And you talk about Jim Robinson in all of them? Wow.

It will disappoint you but no, we seldom talk politics. It's to get away from politics! I'm not sure but, my guess is it had to do with the FReepathon and you!...on a day like today at FR. There are more non-FReepers so there isn't much talk about FR.

And while I'm at it, I spend more time on local boards because we have some heated local elections going on!

Sorry to disappoint you.

Hello to a few friends I haven’t seen in a while.

What a meltdown! I miss the old days. There is no simple human respect here anymore and opinions are homogenized, everybody is in lock step. A few shrieking, tattletale banshees, operating with the approval of the owner and moderators, spend their days and nights on patrol enforcing the one site/one mind rule. They have managed to run off just about anybody with a brain (or a dollar.) They are at it on this very thread. They remind me of high school mean girls and have turned internet bullying into a blood sport. New posters are welcomed with scorn and ridicule and accused of being trolls just because they haven’t been here since day one. That’s a great way to attract new people.

I left FR a while back because I got tired of the attacks against me and like minded people because we were from Texas and we supported Governor Perry. Many of the Texas contingent left FR and took their dollars with them during that time. We were honestly blind sided and shell shocked by our treatment. Governor Perry may not be the most articulate man in the world, he is not perfect, but he is conservative, a patriot, a Christian, knows how to attract business and a heck of an improvement over Mitt. You only have to look at Texas to know he can’t be the complete dunce his FR detractors claim he is. What was wrong with supporting a conservative?

I thought long and hard before I withdrew my financial support. When I wrote JimRob to object to the tone on the Perry threads I reminded him Texas had been good to FR and it was a mistake to allow such loyal supporters to be mistreated. He could have made room on FR to civilly discuss the pros and cons of all the candidates. Or he could have insisted posters disagree respectfully. But he didn’t. I got the cold shoulder as did many of us during that time. You reap what you sow.

I’m sad to see what FR has become and truly miss what it used to be. If I get zotted for speaking my mind that is fine, I don’t post anymore and rarely read the comments because who wants to read the same thought over and over again. There isn’t any free speech on FR these days and I am not into having free opinion stifled. Reading the same “approved” opinions over and over again is boring. I feel vindicated seeing how many people are posting similar feelings on this thread.

I don’t talk politics on facebook. For one reason my daughter asked me not to ... it’s a social network.

I did slip up and post something about “all America is praying for Bo ... he’s so dang yummy looking.”

But it was okay because nobody had a clue what I was talking about.
