Jim, those of us who are fortunate enough to know you personally, know that none of the ridiculous accusations made by BADJOE or any of the others on some of those poison sites are true.

I seriously wonder about the mental health of a few of them, and I want anyone here at FR to know that I can attest to the fact that you are one of the kindest, most considerate, and giving people around!

BADJOE, You are just showing your Butt doing this, you really should rethink your plans, as this is not something that Jim deserves, and deep down, you know that. You are a better person than this, aren't you? Do as the democrats do and "MOVE ON" for God's sake. This is petty and childish behavior and not befitting a man of your stature.

I've got to thank you for posting that link to Libertypost. I saw a few old Freeper names there. I've wondered where they went. Now I know. Funny thing is, I really don't miss most of them. In fact, now I know why I've been enjoying Free Republic even more lately. It made me so happy I had to rush back here and make my donation.

You are doing a great job here Jim. I've been an avid reader/poster/contributer since 1998 (my original freep name is Rock, but I forgot my password and had to change to Rokke). Nothing compares to Free Republic. Nothing.

What bothers me is that Badjoe had my credit card number in several fundraisers.

I believe BADJOE to be an honest person. If I were you I wouldn't lose any sleep over that.

Jim, what's this about? Are you ok? I'm worried about you, man. I don't really grasp the post but I'm worried about you. What's going on?? (And most importantly, do you need a hug?)

You wrote about "visualizations of helen thomas shopping at Victoria's Secret."

Lordy, Lordy. That sent a shiver up my spine. You are one sick puppy.

Thanks for the ping. Would have missed this.

I followed the 'break-up' during the time it was happening. IMO...there was only one person who showed any class....and that is why I continue to support FR as a monthly donor!

Just trying to think of a worst case scenario that could make even the dead shiver. I really should let up on helen, but sometimes the truth IS ugly. :)

You won't have to wait too much longer. As a matter of fact, I can fill you in on most of it. You see, I am at the core of much of it.

Shortly after 9/11, I got a freepmail from some account called "Lead Moderator". The mail asked if I would be willing to help the forum out as a volunteer. The mail said that if I agreed, he would reveal himself to me and I would laugh because it was someone I had a friendship with.

I agreed. And it was someone I had a friendship with; someone I had exchanged mails with several times over activism issues. He asked me to join the moderating crew.

And so it began.

Lead Moderator (LM from now on) set the lead, along with Jim. There were several others. I was the newbie, and was given the "Sidebar Moderator" designation.

After several months, Jim and LM promoted me to Admin Moderator (there are several Admin Moderators).

I have seen some posts by Joe, where he says that LM never wanted me to be a moderator, that he objected to it from the start. That does not jibe with what I saw, including several times where LM went out of his way to not only back me up on some decisions, but go much further. It does not jibe with the many discussions LM and I had, both before and after I became a moderator. But Joe says LM told him it, so I guess it comes down to if you believe Joe at what he claims or not, since LM is not around any longer.

Through some circumstances, Jim invited Joe to be able to view the moderators' discussion boards (we call them the AR boards for "abuse reports" boards).

Joe became quite upset one day when I pulled an article from a website called "Strike-the-root.com", a website for anarchism. We argued over if anarchism was leftist or not, with Joe taking the position that the founding fathers were anarchists.

Jim decided that he didn't want anarchism to be promoted on Free Republic.

Joe then decided that he was going to try to force changes. He revealed my onscreen name, as well as one other moderator's name. He told Jim he wanted us gone, or else. He made lots of threats. He continues to make lots of threats.

He also said several things which turned out to not be quite true. He told Jim that other current moderators had mailed him saying they agreed with him. All of the other current moderators denied doing so. Joe has subsequently said that unless they back him up, Joe will reveal their Freeper identities. Now his threat is unless I was removed, and one other moderator removed, and the stuff you see posted every day on Liberty Post but not here (tax evasion schemes, tin foil conspiracy theories, anarchist propaganda) be allowed here, that he would use what prestige he had here to try and destroy the site.

Jim has his opinions of Joe, which he has shared. Everyone else will have to make up their minds as to what to believe. Myself, I used to think like most of those who are expressing a certain amount of admiration for Joe. I now have seen him to be deceptive, to have reprehensible poltical views, and to be someone who actively seeks to do me harm.

When the ordeal went down, I told Jim that I was going to step down. He asked me not to. I went back and forth with it for quite some time. Eventually I decided to kiss my Dales name goodbye.

So here I am. One of the fabled Texas Chainsaw Moderators, which always struck me as a laughable bit of demogoguery, since I tend to be hands-off. I can't remember the last time Jim had to overturn one of my decisions, other than to pull something I left up.

Maybe this website should be used for the promotion of anarchism. I don't know. If so, it wouldn't be a site I would be comfortable being a part of. But the important thing, Jim said he didn't want it to be that, and I acted in concert with those wishes.

Thanks, AM

I've enjoyed as a lurker/infrequent poster too long ... time to show some appreciation. Thanks for the site and many (maybe too many) enjoyable hours.

I was looking through the score card ... who's our friend in Latvia of all places ? Very cool.
