VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

Sure, we all get caught up in the moment and get that foot in mouth disease. Forgiveness is a good thing to do for oneself.

I hate that all this stuff goes on; I was speaking to her as one who has had her words posted on other sites. I hope you understand.

I do understand, Howlin. It has been absolute warfare here and I'm sick to death of it. I won't at all claim that the other creationists, or even myself a few times, have acted with the most pleasant demeanors - but our guys keep getting banned and about 3 trouble makers on the Creationist threads are allowed to stay. If you want more details, then I can let you know- but, you're probably smart enough to not want to get in the middle of it all. I certainly don't blame you there. Just suffice it to say, that Alamo Girl truly ended up being a disappointment with her treatment of myself and other creationists. My war with her was a few weeks ago and I didn't post to her much at all after that. She ignorred me any way, so what was the use? But on a recent thread, she made a couple of statements I disagreed with and I went after those statements. The next afternoon, without having posted anything else, I, halffull, JesseShurun (now banned), goodseedhomeschool (now banned), and conservababejen (who hadn't even posted to the thread from what I understand) were given a warning by Jim to stop harassing folks or be banned. It's unfair and it is sad, but I'm becoming more involved on designeduniverse.com instead of Free Republic and have largely begun disengaging from the creation/evolution threads on F.R. I don't want it to be this way, but as you can see from Jim's replies to me, I'm not being heard so it's better to just avoid this site altogether.

Thank you for clarifying things. I sometimes feel ganged up on by folks I wouldn't imagine ganging up on me. You've always been fair with me and what little dialogue we have had, I can recall being pleasant. If I ever join a site like libertypost.org, don't expect me to be calling you "Howling". I see a few friends over there, but a lot of the folks who are over there I remember being rather nasty folks over here so I'll probably stay with the designeduniverse crowd. We don't tell each other what to post, but we are a friendly group and even invite an evo or two to join us.
Blessings,
Janine

The only people on that thread I've ever interacted with are you : ), Jhoffa (who was completely fair and reasonable), Todd and Fred - so you can see how upsetting this really is to me. : )

The others aren't even on my radar screen, except for the one (whose name escapes me at the moment) who keeps insisting that I had some elaborate plot to get Cathryn Crawford banned by being friendly to her (???? LOL), but that I failed in my mission because Cathryn stood her ground or some such thing.

Riiiiiight. Okaaaaaaaay. You can't make this stuff up. LOL

(Cuckoo clocks go off every ten seconds at that place.)

How about entrapment ?

False accusations ?

A big sympton of alzhimers - schizophrenia ...

this stuff hits fast ---

the mental capacity dies and the fears and paranoia takes over ...

to be pitied !

Well, the fact that you and Cathryn seem to get along well, and enjoy posting together peoved some people wrong apparently ticked them off even more... naughty naughty, Daughter...

I'm amazed no one over there jumped all over me because of my "Giving Cahtryn Crawford The Bird SInce 2003" tagline ;o)

[Syncro]

Very interesting and informative, thanks.

I don't have time to read those threads so it is helpful to get an idea what goes on there.

Oh, and a very Scriptural post also.

[strela]

I was wondering when you were going to show up. Somebody earlier in this thread mentioned "Intelligent Design" in passing, and I knew then that you wouldn't be far behind.

[Cathryn Crawford]

LOL), but that I failed in my mission because Cathryn stood her ground or some such thing.

I believe that was someone by the name of Howlin Sux. You know, I'd post the letter that I wrote regarding that incident here, but I think Jim might ban me for profanity. ;-)

[Cathryn Crawford]

You did give me the bird! My life was over, Chad, simply over. ;-)

[Howlin]

don't expect me to be calling you "Howling".

You'll have to come up with another nickname; I believe that one is taken already.......along with HowlinSux and HowlinBanshee. :-)

LOL! Thanks! :)

[DittoJed2]

How about "Howlin at da libs?"

[strela]

Briefly, I once considered registering "HowlinMad," but then I sobered up.

[f.Christian]

poster hung out by the evo cult -- stalk hunts !

FR when the mentally deranged takes over !

These are my very best friends hung out by these madmen ... I don't like it !

[Cathryn Crawford]

the fact that you and Cathryn seem to get along well, and enjoy posting together

Chad! That's a secret! Shhhhhh!!!!!

[strela]

Ah yes, the term was "designed universe." I stand corrected.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Uh-oh... my bad LOL

[Ben Bolt]

Well I have to fess up John . I dont really keep up on this kind of stuff although I've read about some of what has been posted here on other sites . I'm usually the last to know ^ )

[Tribune7]

I'm very sorry to see the aggravation you've been getting. I enjoy your posts very much. You do great work. Hang in there.
