Lost Freepers: What ever happened to FReepers such as...
NativeNewYorker
Yup.
FR had decided to go full-bore for Ginrich at that time. You don't know about it because you weren't on the threads.
Which explains why the majority of the ex-Freepers in question were banned simply because they were Romney supporters.
And to think that the site owner finally broke down and supported Romney......Sheesh!
Ever given any thought as to why the FReepathons are now taking so long to complete?
FReepers that threw in their lot with anti-FReepers. You really don’t know what was going on. But it was nice chatting with you anyway.

Btw, I never saw a post where JR supported Romney. Not one.

Deadweight.
Evidently you are lying again by claiming that I posted to you that I read every thread, care to quote that post?
Your lies about the freerepublic purge of people who did not support Gingrich, are absurd.
That frikking guy, he was all on board for the damn choo-choo train they were going to build in California.
What's not to like?
It would be perfect for JimRob himself. He could get from Fresno to Bakersfield at 300 km/Hr!
After a three hour delay while the TSA goons check his wheelchair with a microscope, a magnascope, a sonoscope, a stethoscope, a fluoroscope and a horoscope...
They don't have to be zotted, many of the "Romney purge" simply had their posting privileges terminated while their home pages appear to be active.
And during the time period many of them weren't even Romney supporters. They simply had issues with Gingrich. Yes, some were Santorum supporters.
I’ve been watching you argue this point for a while now. And you are right. 100% correct.
The great zot thread of 2008 was wild. God only know has many FReepers got the zot in just that one thread for comments supporting Giuliani.
But the “Newt or else” era was worse. Much worse. For several weeks in early 2012 one didn’t dare post a negative comment regarding Newt over hundreds of threads or the would be zotted.
And these were not trolls either. Sign up dates of 98 or 99? Didn’t matter. Zot.
I - like many who are still here - simply held our tongues during those days and stayed away from the lightning.
Turns out we were right about Newt after all, but at that time.... We shut up.
Where is quidam?

...I’m marking my absentee ballot today for Romney-Ryan and I’m voting straight Republican down ticket...
Lucianne is still around, I dropped into lurk during the down time this week.
I guess she even lets posters talk to each other these days.
I'm glad I found FR after she started punishing people for talking in class...
“FR had decided to go full-bore for Gingrich at that time.”

I didn’t get that memo. I stated several times I thought Gingrich wasn’t a real conservative. People disagreed, but I’m still here. No zot.
I still say that people who were banned suffered that fate for other reasons, such as name calling, threatening or whatever.
Thank you.
Personally I don't remember hundreds of threads. My recollection (thought I could be wrong) is it was over a fairly short time period but quite a few were zotted.
Yes, even a lot of older Freepers lost their Freeper lives at that time.
Santorum supporter, Romney suppoter, or just not liking Newt...all were hit.
WHY are we rehashing old news. Do you people actually like hearing "I told you so"?!
I do believe JimRob started supporting Romney after the first debate.
And a free colonoscopy. No thanks.
