[Poohbah]

Freepmail me if you want my email address.

Every word you said is true. I have little doubt that many other good people will be right behind you, Poohbah.

[Peach]

I'm sorry you're leaving. But all sense has left this place and the old rules were discarded about two weeks ago or more.

And remember, "facts" don't matter, or so we've been told.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Sorry to hear about this. Just remember that the whack jobs calling Jeb Bush a murderer do NOT make up the majority of the folks on Free Republic.

[Drango]

Does this mean you're not contributing to the pledge drive?

[Lurking Libertarian]

Sorry to see you go.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Is there a full moon tonight or something?

[Liberator]

You're right....

You'll be much happier at Boot Licking Statist.com

As I've stated over and over again, the radical clerics, their religiously insane followers and the race-obsessed will eventually finish off the conservative movement. Too bad.

I was instantly reminded of the time I had to bail one of my Marines out of the local lockup. "Honest, Sarge," this Marine told me, "I didn't mean to start a fight when I called that Army Ranger a faggot." My response was not [and still isn't] suitable for public consumption.)

That was a good analogy to the terrible fights I've read here.

You made some very good points.

I find it disturbing sometimes how quick people are to condemn reasonable, intelligent people because they don't think exactly like them

I hope someone talks you out of your "opus" - FR needs posters like you.....

[nunya bidness]

I hope you had a hell of a piss Arnold. </Fast Times>

[frannie]

I have considered leaving, but probably won't. Yes I have sent a contribution though I have only been a member for a short time.

At 82 ears of age, the comments on FR lately, is so much different from how I was taught.

Please don't any one post to me in the manner some have done to Poohbah.
.

I believe we are doing just exactly what the liberals
want us to do. We are being divided. You all know the phrase "divide and conquer]. Perhaps all who have being so rude are not the regulars. I don't know because I don't recognize the names.

But we have all been crude and little rude to each other. I love for people to disagree with me and many times they educate me on the FACTS. I appreciate that.

[Sloth]

OK, bye. And don't wuss out like Hildy.

[afnamvet]

I don't know you very well Poobah. I have read many of your posts. I agreed with some and disagreed with some. But know this, I do respect you.

I don't agree with posters at times. Emotions run very high here occaisonally. That is the nature of this forum.

I suspect you battled with this decision for a period of time. I will miss you and your comments here on FR.

[Louisiana]

I couldn't agree with you more. Sounds like another voice of REASON leaving FR. (leaving more unReasonable voices than Reasonable).

[G32]

Is there anyway to campaign the management here for an 'ignore user' functionality? It would really help a lot of people I think.

[Southack]

Hey Sarge, you should at least stick around the military threads. Discussions on base closures, new versus old equipment, training methods, etc...all of that needs insight from people like you who've been there, rather than mere armchair guessers.

That part of FR serves as useful brainstorming...flushing the bad ideas and highlighting the good.

[FreedomSurge]

Glad to see you go. Hope you never come back. You are obviously better suited to other forums, passionless forums, where your opinions are never challenged. Why don't you start your own forum and only allow yourself to post.

But I do hope your tender feelings heal within the next 4 or 5 years. Poor baby.

[rdb3]

Straighten up and fly right, Marine. This ain't about nothing.

[humblegunner]

I am leaving Free Republic.

That isn't going to affect my settings and stuff is it?
It better not, or I will be sad.

[Busywhiskers]

Shouldn't this be entitled, "Poohbah's Coda". "Opus" means a work, usually musical. A coda is a concluding passage either of a musical work (opus) or of a speech or statement.

My point is that if you are going to misuse the language then by all means go away. : )
