Murrymom was a joke, tolerated by JimRob for years, for her laugh value. He even posted as much in a reply once.
Graybeard58, this is not directed at you or Politicalmom. But it’s a launch point for me to note that not all FReepers know by heart, or can remember, the personal histories and past posts of all the other FReepers. The frequent admonition of others posters to me has boiled down to “Go search my posts”, with the implication that I ought to remember everything about their thought processes. Not to say that the search feature isn’t valuable to me, but I and others here have to take people’s current posts at their face value and should not have to respond to one particular person’s posting history each time we respond to the actual words used in his current post.
Everyone here does not know every other poster as well as those who may consider themselves the real FReepers, the original crowd, who remember everything except what they don’t.
Much confusion and acrimony can be avoided on Free Republic if we regular posters dedicate themselves to saying exactly what we mean clearly in each post. I’ll quit using “/rhetorical” and others can eliminate the sarcasm which is not clearly indicated as such. That would be a start.
I know. I was kidding. :)
I miss Resty!
