If you truly desire to participate on FreeRepublic (have a back and forth exchange of thoughts and ideas) I would suggest you be more forthcoming and clear in your posts. It's just like meeting strangers at any other gathering. They want to get to know who you really are. Not play a game of guessing at cryptic wording. If that is what you really want to do than I doubt that many will want to engage with you. If that is not your motive than be clear in your statements. If english is not your native language then fine, let us know. We are a friendly but wary bunch.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
