So what? There are lots of retreads on FR. I have written here a number of times that after moves, change of email address and forgotten password I had to retread. I have never tried to hide it.

The owner of this site or his moderators can look into it and see that is the case. I was never suspended, banned or even reprimanded.

I don’t get why some people here go after “noobs” and retreads. Seems to me, we should welcome new members and returning members. If we don’t, FR will fade away as older members die off or drift away. Don’t we want FR to be strong and vibrant?

It also appears to me that those who point and screech “noob” and “retread” tend to do so when they disagree with that person but have no facts or reasoned arguments to offer, so they resort to silly personal attacks.

Because those people quite often tend to be playing for the other team. Do you really not get it?

Naive or lying, I'd say. Not sure which is worse. Of course, that's just my opinion.

For someone who claims to have been around as long as you have, you just don't get it.

It's not merely a different opinion.

It's pushing the liberal/democrat/DS agenda and narrative.

Retreads are often people who were previously zotted for espousing leftist views.

And n00bs who come right out of the gate spewing leftist garbage and attacking people are obviously going to be regarded with suspicion.

"change of email address and forgotten password"


BTW, that has happened to me, and all I had to do was go to the FreeRepublic Home Page (bottom right for contact info), and send an email (or call direct) to fix the problem.
