Crossed a Line.
What is going on here?
I support the right of anyone to get vaccinated or not. I support free speech and free thought. However...
Though I was not looking, in less than one day I have seen THREE posts by non-noob Freepers who are fully supporting Orwellian Australian tactics, and/or gleefully wishing death on those Freepers who have chosen to wait on the vaccine or chosen therapeutics, etc.
If this was twitter, I would not be so distressed and surprised. But this is Free Republic where the main page Front center headline is:
Welcome to Free Republic! Conservatives for God, Family, Country! Est. 1996
Do these posts really represent Free republic? God, Family, Country?
Are there no lines that Freepers should not cross??
At the very least, these people should be called out.
Several times over the years I have put rounds down range with 'gunner, shared meals, drank beer and late night discussions...'gunner is a Texan.
“ Someone wishing death on another FReeper is clearly against the rules. “Report abuse” usually takes care of it when someone goes that far.”
——————————————————————————————
Yes, true.
But in my opinion, it’s the thought that counts.
A long term Freeper doing that?
Sure remove the comment, even suspend them, but why have we sunk so low lately?
Besides the usual FBI is doing it, I wonder if other outside influences are being brought in. Brought in by other Freepers.
Or, you could get a life.
😂😂
Only, sounds like that IS their life.
🙃
My point is you are too “sensitive” to what others write and how it affects you.
If I can get you worked up in two posts, that’s indicative of loose control on your end.
State your feelings, opinion, or point of view. Then let it go.
Have you ever changed anyone’s mind or had your mind changed on one of these forums? People get too invested in their position, and are literally unable to stop and adjust.
That’s why it’s fun to draw them into the briar patch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Actually, I have changed people’s minds...I have been told privately and publicly. This is what happens when there is a free uncensored exchange of information and ideas. You seem to act as if it is “merely” a forum...But as I support this forum with my resources time/money, I do care...and I don’t consider it a game...”fun to draw them into briar patch.” What you do is not helpful or advancing God, family or Country which is what this website is about...But you can add this post to your count as the final post.
So you have stated your mission is to get people worked up and draw them in...Well you give yourself waay too much credit... Again, this is not a game, and you did not get me worked up...I was “worked up” before I posted the thread...And if you think being worked up is a sign of ‘”looseness” on my end’ which you try to exploit, then you are a fool. But then you are from Vermont? May be part of the issue...
Hope you enjoyed Biden’s imperial speech...
I chose to put up a thread...You do not need to post on it— I suggest you start a new game to draw in someone who might be able to get through your thick scull.
You are on five.
Yeah, not from Vermont. But thanks for playing.
You might want to try Aloe on that wound.
Sounds like an obsession. 😱
I really don’t GIVE a RAT’S ASS WHAT YOU THINK TROLL.
What’s a think troll? Or, are you missing a comma?
I keep waiting for anyone to ask: How many of these flu shot mafioso’s or their families hold shares on Moderna, Pfizer et al. it is the only real question.
Maybe psychopathic.
LOL! He was responding to the below post! Like for like!
“So to break it to you vaxtard, you fall into that category. Who will have sympathy for YOU?”
I don’t see:
“and/or gleefully wishing death on those Freepers who have chosen to wait on the vaccine or chosen therapeutics, etc.”
>>> Several times over the years I have put rounds down range with ‘gunner, shared meals, drank beer and late night discussions...’gunner is a Texan.
You should call him then... find out how long he has been inactive on FR...
and let him know someone is using his account.
As for the fighting that's happened between my post above and this, I simply point to it as a reason I click away from FR at times.
Enough already, people. What we saw on TV today (Yes, I turned mine on for it) was full blown FASCISM.
And if you still don't get it, I'll spell it out for you: FedGov gave BigPharma freedom from liability for the damages vaccines may cause. We have Trump to thank for that.
Now FedGov wants BUSINESS to mandate vaccines while exposing them to lawsuits for the damages vaccines may cause. We have Fuhrer Biden to thank for this.
Do you all get it now?! This is how Democrats destroy big business & jobs in America -- driving more to welfare & government dependence. FACT.
FFS, this site needs to pull together to resist this FASCISM!!!!!
Why does a private medical choice someone else makes, make them an a-hole?
I cannot tell you how many times someone has been incredibly rude to me, or screaming ( all caps), or followed me from thread to thread to bug me because I don’t think like them.
I have a good memory and i just don’t engage with them once that’s happened.
It’s too bad, though.
There has always been a strong segment of absolute statists here. I remember arguing with folks back before the ‘patriot’ act was passed. Some folks will always support the power of the state no matter what. There are also some long-term nicks used by fed plants. It’s what you deal with any time you’re on public boards.
Agree, but don’t think it is just one-sided,
FReepers on both sides of the issue have gotten nasty of late.
## OH.. and GOD HELP THEM if they state a FACT they heard somewhere, because you are usually the FIRST person to DEMAND that they prove everything they said with links, studies and proofs which you are quick to POO-POO if they even try.
This is a tried and true disruptive tactic. I mostly ignore them. They’ll pester you for days if you let them.
