Black-owned Ferguson store destroyed by mob of Michael Brownshirts
Adam Taxin (exploiting the services of YouTube) ^ | 11/25/14 | Adam Taxin

" 'They knew it [referring to the fact that she is black] ... Jealous anger she wasn't a welfare queen like the rest of the hood.' "

" 'I feel bad for this poor woman. She put her heart and soul into a business to make a good living for herself and to provide a service for the community. This is how they repaid her. To those who pass off the violence by saying that it was just the destruction of property, I point to the fact that Juanita's life has been irrevocably altered for the worse.' "

It’s bigger than you and the one tree your are staring at, it has and does hurt FR. Apparently that is a great thing.

“Warner Todd Huston and Marc Schenker are gone. Looks like I may have some influence over consequences after all, “

Banning posters, then spouting off about it like a bunch of juvenile boys in a locker room are actions - NOT consequences. A consequence of driving people away from FR is the fact fundraisers run longer then they use to. That hurts FR more than my butt.

I didn't ban 'em, couldn't if I wanted to.
All I asked them to do was post their full content.
Do you reckon full content hurts Free Republic?

Fact is each of 'em flipped out and got their own selves banned.

A consequence of driving people away from FR is the fact fundraisers run longer then they use to.

Driving blogpimps away hurts fundraising?

Who knew. Maybe you should bring these facts to the attention of management.

Fact is I've never called for or wished anyone to be banned.

“Warner Todd Huston and Marc Schenker are gone. Looks like I may have some influence over consequences [their being gone i.e. banned] after all”

You had influence over their banning before you didn’t have influence over their banning?

And you acted like a gentleman throughout the process and not like a tweenage bully boy?

I didn’t like ‘em but never wanted them banned.
They were fun to play with.

They responded poorly to pressure to post full content.

Flipped out and got booted.
They might have simply posted the full content and lived happily ever after.

I can’t control the actions of others.

Can’t say I didn’t enjoy the show, though.

=

“You seem obsessed with the sex and men. Strange, unless you’re a queer”

“ROTFLMAF at your dumb ass! Is your face turning blue or red ‘lil feller?”

“He seems very angry. That’s quite understandable for a postpubescent boy under 5′ 4″

“Lol. You are one crazy blog pimp”

“Cut back on the retard pills. You’re starting to drool again.”

ad nauseam...

That’s why I said you all are like a bunch of tweenage boys bragging in a locker room. Very mature!

“He is a whiny little puke. He wrote a whiny blog post about
the fact that he is a whiny little puke. Screw him.”

“contact with the penis, mouth, or anus……
Ping for your expertise in this area.”

No wonder people say things like this;

“hg has turned more people away from FR than just about any other Freeper.”

Well.. I disagree.

Believe it or not, some folks are just here to exploit us as an advertising tool.

You are fine with that, I’m not.

“Are you paid with money or drugs or illicit sex for this service?”

I’m not fine with that, and a lot of other posters aren’t either.

If years-old posts cause you trouble then I’d suggest you not read them.

In fact, you might have a better life if you just scrolled
past any posts that make you sad or frightened or nervous.

Me, I’m on a Mission From God.. I don’t have that option.

Rejoice in your freedom.

It doesn’t matter the vintage of your posts, they have the same flavor. I’m pretty sure God would not approve of the flavor. You still don’t get it - it’s not about me - it’s about you and your juvenile attack posts that have driven and continue to drive people away from FR.

“We do not want our pages filled with their arrogant, obnoxious, repugnant bile.”

“also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience.”

How about you simply following the rules?

If I were not, I'd be Zotted.

You keep bringing up these poor "driven away" folks.

Name one.

(Not including blogpimps removed..)

"How about you simply following the rules?"

"If I were not, I'd be Zotted."

What a joke that is. "personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity" If just those three were taken away from your posting history it would shrink by at least half.

“Everyone I knew basically left because of so much childish, immature personal attacks. The propensity there to eat their own. And a lot of the people — most of the people — I knew that were on it left.” – Sean Hannity

Other are not that hard to find.

Social Psychologist Irving Janis described eight symptoms indicative of groupthink:

1. Illusions of invulnerability creating excessive optimism and encouraging risk taking. Check.

2. Rationalizing warnings that might challenge the group’s assumptions. Check.

3. Unquestioned belief in the morality of the group, causing members to ignore the consequences of their actions. Check.

4. Stereotyping those who are opposed to the group as weak, evil, biased, spiteful, disfigured, impotent, or stupid. Check.

5. Direct pressure to conform placed on any member who questions the group, couched in terms of “disloyalty”. Check.

6. Self-censorship of ideas that deviate from the apparent group consensus. Check.

7. Illusions of unanimity among group members, silence is viewed as agreement. Check.

8. Mind guards — self-appointed members who shield the group from dissenting information. Check.

You’re overthinking the whole thing.

It isn’t that complicated.

I don’t like people abusing Free Republic.
Sometimes I take action against those who do.

Once in a while they flip out and get Zotted.

It’s really no more complicated than that.

They just interviewed the woman who owned the bakery.

People around the country have donated over $111,000 to help her rebuild her bakery.

She was very gracious Said she wishes she could hug everyone who donated.

She also said she told the protesters that the bakery was her only source of income and was needed so she could support her children.

You break the form rules of “personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity” and more over and over as illustrated by what I’ve quoted on this thread and your posting history. No overthinking required to see that, which is why I’m not the only one pointing it out to you.

Breaking form rules is a form of “abusing Free Republic” because it turns away posters and potential contributors. No overthinking required to see that either.

My experience is that most blog pimps that infest FR are not only annoying, but pretty darn stupid as well; at least with regards to promoting their blogs.

In most cases they just provide a link to content on their page.

Why would I click on such a link? The one time that my computer got hit really hard by a virus was when I clicked on a blog pimp's link. I don't do that anymore.

If these blog pimps had IQ's above the freezing point of water they would provide some idea of what their blog was about along with the link. If someone told me that their particular blog focused on pro-life issues or political philosophy I might want to check it out. As it is I'm supposed to assume that just because they have the intellectual capability to create an account on FR that I'm necessarily interested in what they have to say.

In my humble opinion humblegunner is providing a much needed service in culling the weak from the herd of idiots that flock to FR. They're like moths who see the flame of reason and head for it, more out of instinct than thoughtful reflection, only to be burned by it when they get here.
