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.
Examples?

Sabertooth complained about an inconsistency. There are two ways to resolve that inconsistency, and I believe the more generous way is far preferable. I would be very surprised if Sabertooth did not agree.

Ah, I understand now. My name is the first on your list of those you think should be banned.
Well, I guess that's up to Jim. Jim, if you want to ban me, go for it. I await your convenience.
The best and most recent example were the completely hateful comments posted on the McClintock threads. And I say that as a non-Californian who is very glad she didn't have to vote in that particular election.
And the moderator deleted the post at that time, also in accordance with FreeRepublic's posting guidelines. But, you RE-INTRODUCED THE OFFENSIVE WORDING in the post in this thread that just got nuked. So, I guess both of us need to be banned from the site.
You said this thread. Are you back-peddling?
What percentage of the posters at FR would you estimate have this perception of bias?
You make the statement that there is this widespread problem here, yet you don't answer when I ask you to quantify the problem.
Accusations are easy when you don't have to back them up.
For the record, I did NOT advocate political violence against any politician in that post. I advocated the killing of a snake. However, due to unclear terminology on my part, a reasonable person could have construed the post as being threatening in nature to a politician, thus it was pulled. I apologized on that thread for posting it.
Yup.
Go back and read my post again.
What I was pointing out was some of the posters on THIS thread are some of the biggest bullies on FR. Much of the recent "debate" on FR is nothing more than a juvenile popularity contest.
Amen. Its always easier to be a clown in the circus than the ringmaster.
