Dear Mr. Tanniker Smith<

I appreciate your concern of how I used a colorful adjective in my response. Being *new* here seems to have a stigma attached to its meaning. As to how I made a blanketed diagnosis is simple to answer. Since October 27th Free Republic has become a *must read* before I go to sleep. As I read threads and comments its easy to *profile* members like Humblegunner,Centurion2000,burbankarl,and many others. They consistently exhibit behavior that belittles,mocks and degrades other members. It tends to be a sign of insecure adults with poor or non-existant social skills.(no empathy) either. The label *Newbie* is another symptematic problem. If Newbie’s are a threat to other Free Republic members I suggest you organize with other tenure members. For example you and your Free Republic brethren, can create a Newbie play pen thread, to isolate the threat of the *Newbie Conspiracy movement* Happy New Year.

Just so you are aware, I didn't read your last response (the one I am replying to), nor do I plan to read any more on this thread. It's gone on long enough, and is way off-topic for this thread, which, by the way, is now moot because Time Warner settled and the shows will go on.

If you would like to view this as a victory of sorts, feel free. I'm signing off this thread.

Good night.
