I've been a proud FReeper since 2005, but haven't posted before because I've been intimidated by the whole process. Okay, I admit it - I'm lame.
But I just got banned from LGF. I know there are other FReepers out there who have been banned.
Care to commiserate?
The LGF link thingy was clean and easy.
Plus here at FR you have the HTML and all the locked duplicate threads, zots, FReeper chastising, Mod admonishments and me just being a dang sissy!
Hey, at least I admit it!
You give me something to aspire to Mr. NormsRevenge.
*shrug*
I once got reprimanded by a mod for using the classic Twilight Zone “send him to the cornfield” quip.
[say...did anyone else just hear the skirl of a bagpipe?]
Sorry.
I’m too busy pinin’ for the Fnords.
[go ahead...top that non sequitur]
The “come hither” approach never worked for me so I focused on the “sack and pillage” technique, instead.
I say old chum, you might be on to something there.
You’re always welcome here Dinah.
“Fnords” is a strange name for a Doberman.
It’s the Celt and Dane in me.
[I suspect it psychologically freaks people out when some tiny little berserker comes charging at them like a rabid Chihuahua]....;-D
Only if you saw him.
In college, I had a friend who owned two Dobermans. They had one master and were named Himmler and Göring.
I hadn't heard about that. But certainly first hand (and more) experience with HHH (and LBJ, according to Jeffey Toobin via the Wikipedia) would have informed Lucianne's expertise in orchestrating the Lewinsky extravaganza.
Yes, you used the wrong term. Which can be very confusing. No need for an attitude about it. Were you this nice at LGF, Miss Dinah? Shish.
How many people use their thumb to operate an aerosol spray?
Or is she just showin’ off?
Nice to see hers are opposable, anyway. I like that in a woman.
I think I got banned. My comment was “Ban this, f****r”. I assume I got banned I’ve never been back since.
LOL!
Here's his picture, now go kick his ass! LOL

Why, sure, Dinah Lord- I saw your name earlier in my rounds of the InterToobs, where this guy
Chuckles the Dancing Klown, had whacked you with his precious ban stick for some damn-fool or imaginary offense.
I've been online since 1981, and can you guess the one and only site that ever banned me?
You have to love the circular logic of it all-- after hurricane Katrina, some members of LGF wanted to discuss it- imagine that! And the Great Chameleon, err, LizardMaster, told them to take it elsewhere-- so they did, to Gulf Coast Pundit.
A funny thing happened- he started banning people arbitrarily, whimsically, and in absentia, and for simply being married to someone else banned...
And, oddly enough, those were the best writers, researchers, and commenters...
Noticing this, I hied mesef' over to GCP, to see what I thought of as the best of the best-- for my two cents-- sand promptly got mesef banned, no word of warning, no knock it off! no refund of the money I'd foolishly sent the Great Chameleon, just Blam!
In the steal of the night, too, like so many others.
It's all so childish, and Oh! So! Petty as well.
Note also that assorted ass-kissers from that Fooseballs place are prowling the internet to harry and stalk former members...
I'd love to gather my usual links ( some call me The Caesar of Links, some call me other things... ) but don't have the time right now, so here's just a sample:
Blog WarZ! Now, with even -more-- rancor!
A new Chuckles is a Barack Obama knob goblin liberal pansy thread!
Needs a little art to make it feel like home
What was once a must read blog for news and analysis on my rss feed has recently become a once or twice a day stop and that's only for the car crash quality of it all.
Today's head shaking moment comes from a post entitled "Limbaugh Stuck On Fail". Charles seems genuinely confused that some people might actually say out loud they don't want Sotomayor confirmed to the Supreme Court.
It seems that for a democracy to function there needs to be at least two parties who articulate their differences. The idea that partisans of either party wants the other to fail is baked into the cake.
I know Barack Obama wanted John Roberts and Sam Alito to fail in their confirmation efforts. How do I know this? He voted against them. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, it's all part of the give and take of public discourse. Just as there's nothing wrong with Limbaugh or my wish to see Sotomayor fail in her bid for confirmation.
Equally confounding is Charles' contention in the comments of that thread that
Barack Obama ran on a platform of sheer positive messages. Not once did he wish for the other side to fail. You're just wrong to claim that negativity is winning strategy. One of the big reasons why Obama won was because he did NOT go negative -- ever.
Really? This will of course come as news to anyone who followed the campaign last year. Even the Washington Post noticed.
How about, just to pick one of many examples, when Obama accused President Bush and John McCain of "fear mongering"?
Or the distortions of McCain's words.
The list could go on and on.
I really don't have a dog (or monkey) in all the creationist stuff but while it's certainly Charles' right to post on whatever the hell he wants, the constant harping and disdain for others is off putting.
Sadly I can only conclude there's no room for me anymore under LGF's big tent.
From the comments at Ace:
4 And look at all the pussies over there tiptoe on eggshells to avoid disagreeing with Charles and getting banned.
Oh my! Mustnt upset Sensitive Ponytail Guy!
643 seriously, did it take you this long Ace? That place is a cult of personality. I think it is down to people that just want Charles to like them, there is no recognizable political philosophy; just whatever Charles says goes. I was a member there for many years...
LOL!
That’s what I thought!
Me: 52 threads and 5,480 replies.
Wonder who the most prolific poster is.
