Nobody expects the INS to pop up when they do. LOL!

[rmmcdaniell]

I'm curious as to why I was pinged to this article.

[d-back]

Sigh. Roscoe sounds like a petulant seven-year old: It's a letter! It's a letter! It's a letter!

No, Roscoe, it's an article. Go buy the magazine.

While I don't like what you posted and I don't like seeing you come here for the purpose of testing JimRob's patience, I will vouch for you on this issue. You have never stated that you were banned or suspended to my knowledge. You told me if anyone asked to tell them you were at Libertypost because of your initial support of Snow Bunny. Nothing wrong with that. I don't know what point you were trying to make here, I assume you were just looking to get a rise out of someone. LOL. Either that or you were bored at Libertypost. That makes sense. What I saw there was just some people who will take any side as long as it is against JR. Too bad. At least here we have a little more diversity than that. :)))

Well you know what they say, if you can't take the heat... Why is it when people like you don't like a website, you continue to go back and try to make the others that do enjoy it, not? I would not be at all surprised if you have tried to open your own site like this to get attention and when it doesn't...well.

I love FR.

[stands2reason]

Why are the anti-everything crowd so put out about FR?

Because it's popular. These people like to think of themselves as better--more enlightened--than the "masses" and if something is popular, that tells them it's no good. That way they don't have to overextend their meager intellects to actually judge for themselves the worthiness of anything. It doesn't take intelligence to be a cynic.

I notice the author left out the mass exodus from Lucianne to Free Republic of you people/now freeople in June 2001.

That was before my time....can you elaborate on that? BTW, there's so much Freeper history there should be an archivist or historian for this site!

[Matchett-PI]

Oops. Mistake - Please disregard

[Roscoe]

Post it. All of it.

[TLBSHOW]

AS I SAID IT WAS JUST TAKEN OFF HIS COMPUTER LAST NIGHT AND SEAN POSTED IT AT THE LOONEY SITE. THE REST IS HISTORY! LOL

You blow the whistle and you're out of a job. What's worse is members of the public you were trying to protect will keep saying, "There's more to this story than meets the eye." Just as if you really were guilty of something you should have been fired for.

I never said she was guilty of anything .. I simply questioned the reason for filing a suit against Paul O'Neill

And for your information .. The one thing I have learned around here is to not jump to a conclusion till all the facts are presented .. and they haven't been as of yet .. which is why I said there was more to the story then what was reported in that article

[gd124]

It was deleted after twelve minutes with the message - "Take this garbage to DU", then it was put back up.

[Leisler]

You know what happens to you especially. The duty station is called at the hospital and the staff puts you back in the jacket and on the Jello diet. And no more internet for you, back to the rec room TV.

[Neets]

That was a mighty gracious post of yours Ma'am. It takes a big person to say/do that!!!! Kudos!!!

[MistyCA]

Oh, heck, let him talk! He is proving a point! :)

[MistyCA]

Thank you, Neets. :)

[Sir Gawain]

He then receives comments from other posters who clearly assume he had been banned and reinstated.

No such posts exist. You're stretching. Keep trying though. The "blatant lie" cannot be found.

[Sir Gawain]

Sir Gawain AND Marine Inspector SHOULD APOLOGIZE!

I'm sorry that none of you can find the "blatant lie" nopardons referred to. (Hint: it doesn't exist)

[Sir Gawain]

There is no way to deny that is the impression he wanted to convey.

Your bias is showing btw. No such impression was conveyed. In fact when he first went over there after the SB incident, he stated clearly that he had left on his own accord and had his account deleted. That doesn't sound like someone that is trying to mislead people. This is how rumors get started.
