The folks with a “1” starting the year are the REAL ol’ timeers!
It has nothing to do with FR, the whole world has become more dumbed down! Texting, twittering, bookfacing, etc, have made it easier for people to have stupid, meaningless, ungrammatical communications.
That intellectual prowess is still here on FR. A lot of us are just too lazy to engage it fully.
Thats another thing come to think of it. So many younger people need bifocals these days, due in my opinion to all the little screens burning out our eyes!
That was my first point dip — that the owner of any enterprise had the right to run it the way they wanted to. The other was just speculative theory.

Well said!”
For years, I was a lurker also, but never brain dead! HAW

“To: Dr. Zzyzx
I was a bit put off by Jims post as well”
I have an analogy: In the case of being pi$$ed, it’s better to be pi$$ed OFF than to be pi$$ed ON! Think about it, eh?

“... I have learned to live with it.”
Well, apparently NOT, since you’re still whining!

“Jim is leading an Inquisition. I wish him and his site well. I will continue my monthly contributions, but Im logging off as I think that this purge is doing nothing but helping Obama which I know is the last thing in the world that Jim would like to see. Its been fun.”
Horsepucky! You can’t stay away past tomorrow!

Laz tried to make a point about why Free Speech is limited on Free Republic. He made his point. It was way, way over the line in several directions. Hopefully he is only suspended and will be allowed to come back after a few days when he calms down.
Hope so too. Does anyone know?
Again, speculation on my part, but long time FReepers generally get a pretty long leash and at least a warning before a zot.
Laz is a fixture here and has had more than one time out - some of which were for a pretty long time. I expect the Boss has his own ides as to when, if ever, Laz is freed. And that's his business.
Those of us who enjoy his twistedness (usually) can at least sport a tag like mine. See what happens.
But the Viking Kitties manning the security posts kept eating the delivery guys.
So, we had Frito pie instead. And it was cold and soggy by then.
And we all saw how well that turned out.
Further the shame I'm supposed to be a logistics / freight forwarding guy.
I blame the overzealous security at the Free Republic compound.
That was a pizza guy?
And that was supposed to be pizza?
Be glad it was overwhelmed by the attack deer.
In other good news, the attack deer population is now less due to bad pizza poisoning.
Me, too!
But It's been awhile back.
I've modified my behavior, but I do not know if a certain mod had it in for me or not.
Yes; I did deserve the 'timeout'.
The wife liked it too, as I finally was off this chair and doing things around the house!

My family had a rooster like that for a brief while. Attacked anyone who came into HIS yard. Even after he was kicked a few times (sorry PETA), he kept coming back with his spurs in the air. He didn't last long as a member of the family. He was tough, too. Did I mention tough, as in stew tough?
You might have had cold, soggy Frito pie but we got nada. Seriously thought about breaking out the chopped liver but going hungry won the vote.
It's not too late. The crazed deer have run off somewhere.
