Before 2000, people could actually think for themselves and weren't attacked for not being a group thinker.

Wasn't Willie Green class of '98? And wasn't he famous for calling anyone who disagreed with socialist, statist, choo-choo train posts him a noob? There are an infinite range of reasons to condemn or congratulate a FReeper. Born on dates just shouldn't figure into it one way or the other. Brilliant is brilliant even if it is the persons first post. Stupid is stupid no matter how long you have been posting it.

I was addressing the FACT that a lot of former FReepers have been zotted and others have left voluntarily.

Yes, stupid is stupid and I guess they got tired of being called stupid by the stupid. There are too many Willie Greens these days!

Bottom line is, several weeks ago some people were laughing about zotting some old time FReepers. There are even more who have left voluntarily because they no longer wanted to be part of FR.

The unintended consequence is they all took their former FReepathon donations with them...many were longtime monthly donors.

We remember when FR had an influence...interviewed frequently on TV and radio. Those days are over! FR's reputation is shot!
