Freeper since 1999?
And you don’t know website manners? By now?
Whadaya think this place is— a travel agency?
A bus to somewhere else?
A ticket to Hollywood?
A talent agent for bloggers?
I have to be in the the slowest of the slow catagory and even I caught on loooong before you guys to the laser sharp eye of humblegunner. He spots a pimp and most assuredly that pimp is spotted.
BTW, while you guys are falling into the frosting and no doubt hitting on pimps, hg was doing the southern border with JR.
So, do tell puberty123 while you’re chattin’ it up, that humblegunner does have a life, and it’s one that matters and has mattered, far more than once.
You’re preaching to the choir in my case, RitaOK, but thank you for defending my best Internet friend.
I appreciate it very much, as he does not deserve the venom thrown at him by people who are trying to
take advantage of Free Republic.
“while you guys are falling into the frosting and no doubt hitting on pimps, hg was doing the southern border with JR.”
Ah1 So that’s why he gets away with insults to other FReepers!
“smokes crack and assists in human trafficking. Yep.”
That’s insulting, even if you don’t like “blog pimps.” As I said before, I like Conservative news and views being spread around as often and as far as possible, be it a site like The Conservative Treehouse, or just some “blog pimp” who has something interesting to say. There were no ads on that site, no hit counts that meant anything that I could find. And certainly no indication that he’s a human trafficker or smokes crack. Just another Conservative spreading news.
Your “website manners” comment is dictatorial.
“a travel agency?”
It can certainly be that! I have found many great Conservative sites, and even enjoyable blogs, here on Free Republic!
“A ticket to Hollywood?”
Silly comment.
“A talent agent for bloggers?”
Who cares? Again, I have found many interesting links here.
I commend HG for his work on the border. And I don’t so much mind him pointing out that a thread is from a blog. I do object to his insulting others though. “smokes crack and assists in human trafficking. Yep.” That’s insulting, and there’s no call for doing that. It’s childish!
Flame away!
Well said, Rita.
Enlighten me, please re bad website manners.
First time in 83 years I have been accused of having bad manners (probably deserved it many times though)
Freeper since 1999-In reality, I’ve had two extra years to learn good website manners. Joined in 1997-had a mix-up in screen names (space/no space between upcountry and miss) finally got it straightened out in 1999.
Have spent 64 years trying to set an example and teach my five children good manners as well as abiding by the creed, “do unto others”
I fully appreciate Freepers aversion to blog-pimping and the motives involved in pimping, but isn’t that what our mods are for? Why not alert them and let them tend to it?
My objection is to the stalking and condescension shown to good Freepers-Butterdezillion, Biggirl, Sarah Palin and others whose names escape me (old age sigh).
On reflection, my reply at #65 was hastily written and in poor taste. Would I want my mother (God rest her soul) or my children to read this post-no-so I will apologize, bow out and go search Emily Post to refresh my website manners.
More bad manners-I have not pinged mentioned names as I have no intention of continuing this discussion.
