EXCERPT:

"Q at least provided some sauce. Unlike RRN.

I know I’ve lost some FRens and made some enemies by trying to get FR to
become more compatible with Truth Social.
Everybody Relax. It isn’t going to happen......"

I've never used a platform for years and then decided to make it compatible with another platform. It looks like that conversion is hard and it doesn't work.

I have seen those keyword trolls on threads I post for years and it seems to do absolutely nothing to inhibit the sharing of content. Many people skip over them and aren't aware they exist. In all seriousness, my target audience for my threads excludes those who make up their minds about issues based on keyword insults.

With all that goes on any given day, I've thought that no one (Admin, Jim) would have time to manage non-essentials like keywords.  I think those who post keyword insults have reached the limits of their oratory prowess and fall silent until I post another thread to which they can retype the same keywords they always type. Just my take on it.

I have trolls who don't like me, and who insult me everywhere they find me. Some I have learned contribute nothing in terms of content or enlighentment, so I have found ignoring them works well. Similar to garbage in-garbage out; they contribute nothing so I try to 'donate' nothing to their attention seeking.

Some trolls labor to confuse others and for this reason I sometimes I debate them. But frankly those who really enjoy attacking me aren't my idea of role model patriots that others want to 'follow' and I think they, too, just aren't worth the time and effort to address them.

I cannot claim any clairvoyant talents so I really couldn't tell you what this site's management thinks and why it does what it does. Observing things that happen, my default reasoning is that he's got years of experience, success and knows what he's doing, even if I sometimes don't like it. I can't say I have more knowledge/experience/faithfulness/commitment or contribution to free speech than the board owner, so I don't have advice to give him.

This platform works well for me personally, and I'm grateful for its patience in allowing a controversial topic like ours to exist, something that is extremely rare in the wild. I'm filled with gratitude, not indignation. I thank God for Free Republic and its interepid owner. May God bless him.

I think for a lot of people our age *cough* (anyone out there under 40?) this format works well.

In 1984 I was introduced to VAXnotes. It’s like Free Republic but with a slightly different user interface that worked on terminals that were hooked into mainframe computers.

VAXnotes was organized by notes conferences about all sorts of different things, politics, music, gardening, etc. If you wanted to talk gardening you read and posted in that forum. I started a conference for heavy metal music.

All of this was accessible world-wide within Digital Equipment Corporation via DECnet, which lost out to TCP/IP.

History is important to those who lived it.

Same. I find their hate comforting and it sustains me and keeps me warm on a cold, cold night. And after a long day, I bathe in their tears as I tear them asunder like a pack of jackals shreds a gazelle.

“I’ve thought that no one (Admin, Jim) would have time to manage non-essentials like keywords”

~~~~~~~

Straw man argument. The coding to change the behavior of keyword adding
to remove their potential for anonymous harassment, while preserving their
complete functionality, could hardly be more trivial.

KEEPING it as is, to preserve the anonymous harassment potential, is also easy,
but it does have a cost, and sends a clear message.

I see the deranged keywords as a badge of honor. History will record that we persevered despite the flak... and it will validate the heroic struggle to wake people up. The futility of being reduced to keyword flinging, like an inferior primate flinging poo, has become humorous and illustrates our point well.

Pity the fool.

(And thanks for being the best mod ever. This thread is the only reason I come to FR.)

Well said — as usual.

To tell the truth, I don’t even notice keywords on any post.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I doubt if anyone searches for threads using the childish keywords added by the same derps who chimp out over any opposition to the dreck spewed by wapo, cnn, fox, quackipedia etc.

Real Raw News - if you take it seriously you have issues.

Keep calm and query on r-note!

Ransomnote makes excellent points and we shouldn’t care about what the trolls think and do. We here believe we know the truth about events of the last 7 years, which includes everything from Donald Trump being asked to serve, to the plan devised by Q team patriots to take back the country and the world from those who seek to remake it in their own twisted vision. Our commitment to those truths and our attempts to spread them should be all that matters.

Time will show if the messages from Q were either from real patriots with a plan or if it was the greatest larp of all time. There’s no middle ground on that matter and, to be honest, I don’t even care which it is any more because it awakened a significant portion of the world to the tyranny that we’ve been living under and what else was planned. We here sacrificed temporary comfort and respect to hold on to truths we firmly held and tried to share. No matter what becomes of all things Q, our awakening has been real and is having positive impacts everywhere in the world. You only need to visit the threads BTT to know how far ahead of some of the population we are in our awakening. The truth and our commitment to change their rigged system have to be their own reward and it’s happening. When events reveal that we were way ahead of the curve, those keywords will be badges of honour and the ones who assigned them will end up being the fools.

Apologies for the ramble. Easy, you did what you could to change it, but the issue of silly keywords and who assigned them is not the hill to die on. It’s a given that the assignor(s) are ignorant and wish to remain so, and our fight for freedom includes allowing the most ignorant among us to remain so if that’s what they want. We have bigger battles to fight and you’re a valuable soldier in that fight. To borrow a meme “Lions don’t care about the opinions of sheep”. You’re a lion.
