Well, this thread is not for you, then. There are bunches of threads where you can make fun of those on here all you want.

One other thing -- my intention was certainly not a matter of making fun of others, although that's very telling that you should use that phrase, as it appears to be a motivating factor for some in this so-called Freeper Protection Program thread.

I will tell you why I have been posting to this thread...I was tired of asking questions, and being told, that it was unnecessary for me to have certain facts, or that those facts did not relate to the subject at hand....I was tired of not supporting armed insurrection to resuce Terri, and told that must mean I wanted her to be 'killed'...

I was tired of seeing someone who voiced an opinion that did not jive with the others on the thread labeled as a 'Nazi', simply because they disagreed...

I was tired of seeing Michael Shiavos children being called 'bastards' all of the time...

I was tired of being expected to accept only those 'facts', which supported the Schindler side, and expected to disagree with any 'facts', which lend support to the Shiavo side...

I suppose I could go on and on...

I never wanted Terri Shiavo disconnected, because I had absolutely no idea just what her wishes were for herself, in the situation that she was in...I wanted her to continue with the feeding tube, I wanted to her enjoy her life, in whatever state she was in...

But, I dont trust politicians at all, they all have their own agendas....they may be caring people, but to me anyway, their first and foremost position is always that of being a politician...yet in spite of that feeling, I do feel that both Pres. Bush, and Gov. Bush, had it in their hearts and minds to do and say their utmost for Terri Shiavo, to try to sustain her life..yet they were denigrated for not carrying things further....

But I also dont necessarily trust any of the parties involved in this case, they all have their own agendas...I was even critical of some of the members of the Schindler family because I just noticed discrepancy in some of the different things they were saying regarding Terri...things just did not jive for me...

But at least I could voice that on this thread without being attacked for that opinion...If I had voiced the slightest critique of the Schindlers, I can only envision what I would have been called on any of the mainstream Terri threads...

I also went on to say, that I could easily understand why the Schindlers might seem to be making conflicting statements...they were of course frantic to save their daughter and sister, they were distraught at their inability to get anyone to be able to actually do anything to get the feeding tube reinserted...I understand that...I myself, have felt the feeling of hopelessness at not being able to save a child...its the worst feeling in the world...

But I dont like being called a 'Nazi', a 'troll', or worse, simply because I may not always go along with the general consensus on a thread...

And so I am here, for the little time that I am on FR...

I was on the side of life...I was on the side of keeping Terris feeding tube in...I was not on the side of violence, or of calling, or of threats, simply because I might have some points of disagreement, which I always tried to express civily...
