To strip away ego, race, religion, and political identity from a free exchange of ideas so that the fittest of ideas can be evaluated without the influence of personalities?

I'm not sure exactly who wrote the post, but it surely echoes Enigo?? sentiments, doesn't it?

The theme seems to be "only through anonymization (not in your Funk and Wagnall's)can the great good and glory be found/served."

Welp, I've read this carp all weekend and finally decided what I wanted to say about all this "Oh, I'm anon at 8chan, and they are SO cool, cos everyone is bloody brilliant and no one takes credit for anything because being Anonymous is quite close to being God or Superman or some great being!" To which I say (Floyd R. Turbo coming up) "If you think it is so great to be anon, go to 8chan and be anon!! No one is stopping you, no one has glued your boots to the FR floor. So go on, git! Take your fake humility (which totally comes off as "I am a martyr because my giant brain has come up with all these wonderful ideas, and I'm so humble I don't take credit for them, and why doesn't anybody like me?") and hit the road.

I'm tired of being berated because we have personalities. Some posters we like and agree with. Some are almost always good for a laugh. And some just get an automatic scroll.

Stop beating us up because we are a group of individuals, each with our own opinions and preferences.

If you (the general you) think your posts are fantastic, yet you're not getting the adoration you think is your due...well, buckle up, buttercup. It's a mean ol world, and just cos the board is Free Republic, that doesn't mean that every one is here to cater to your wishes. If you want to be a nameless giant brain, go for it. But do not expect me to go all gah-gah cos you're (again, the general you) so smart....and a little aside? I give much credit to people who are not afraid to have others know who they are. If you are sure of your work and opinions, sure enough to post them for group scrutiny, then be brave and man or woman enough to post your darn name.

If you are posting scientific or math-related info that can't be questioned, it's a fact, then there's no need for a name. All other topics can and will have spin applied by their authors...so yes, those writings are personal...the writer's personality will shine through. There is a heavy personality influence on our writings. Finally, 1/2ast, this is not directed at you at all. But, some others come off as saying "I wanna be as popular as X! Why doesn't everyone fawn over me and tell me how great I am?" Really?! We are not in 3rd grade.

Well, that took a 180, didn’t it?

haffast made the point that the thread is not made up of individuals...this thread is defined by the personalities that maintain the thread. You identify with that.

The survival of the thread has become the reason for the thread and the facilitator and moderator must be preserved at all costs. Oh, and occasionally a Q-drop is provided by the Anons (please re-read that). You are even making up words and meanings to somehow prove your independence from 8chan. That only isolates this thread. To quote James Watt...WUWT?

And, God forbid a troll shows up and gets meme’d or fact-checked by the wrong person. Then the scolding takes up more bandwidth than the replies to the trolls.

Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe some were tired of the ^unearned^ scoldings; tired of seeing newcomers/posters initially thought of as trolls; tired of the waste of bandwidth used for cloyingly-sweet fawning and self-aggrandizement that occurs even before any work actually gets done on Q-drops? Ricky, or...ransom?

Certainly, ever since lunchtime, it takes on the aura of a quilting bee. YMMV.

This is not an opus. Free Republic is still the best “pure” news aggregator on the web. It is only “conservative” because JR allows for an open exchange of ideas in the comments.

I still lurk around here because my mind works by free association. I respond to/from ideas and thoughts from everywhere, qmap.pub, here, Qwivvering masses. What ever sparks a thought or aligns with a memory. I even string some of those together to form a relevant thought. Sometimes an entertaining thought. You might want to pause and assess the linearity of perspective that was created here.

Or not.

Please, PM me with your insults...errrr...responses.

Wow!

What a display of comprehension issues!

Straight out of the gate you jump to confusion and weave your emotional fantasy right through to the end.

Hope you feel better after having relieved your soul of that evil excrement.

To ensure continued good movements you may want to take it outside and cut and split a couple of cords of wood, skin a few mules, dig a root cellar, and spit brass tacks.

I'm sure you can better any man at those tasks but the fact remains you'll still be envious of Richard.

Thank you for illustrating a true FReeper heart and are my election as poster child and EXHIBIT A.

Congratulations! :D

MAGA
