Im not enjoying the free republic lime I used to. Too many newbies that are trolls, looking for someone to drag into their abyss of self hatred. Theres been a lot of posts linked to posters with no bios, I think admin needs to limit the number of posts or remove those without any bio info.
My error it was greeneyes

Thats a very newb comment.
There are those here that have more rights here than others. Im not one of them and Ive been here as long as I have because I recognize that.
As to the rest of your point, it used to suggest that someone that has been here a long time most likely isnt a troll. It seems unlikely to the average person, beyond understanding and belief, that government agents would show up on a site like this and signup to cause future problems.
That doesnt mean it isnt true and now when you see names show up out of no where claiming to be the most patriotic and starting fights despite not having really posted anything for 20+ years you know why some react the way they do. Yes, we really have our own KGB and have for a long time.
If youve watched some of the strange behaviors of some IDs over the years as I have it would make a lot of sense to you too.
Again,
just wow, you are on target!
Of course, I still have my unopened bottle of Sore Loserman wine behind me. 🙂👍
Lol, first time I’ve been compared to a cop! I’m a tax accountant by trade, doing my best to keep the IRS at bay. It’s just that I get a case of the jaws when someone says “loose”, when the correct word is “lose.” Intellectual laziness.
If it was fake, write a spy novel. If it was real, as Hillary said, "what difference at this point does it make?"
I get it. What I dont get is that so often the people that dont know the difference between then and than have shown that they have the ability to solve complex math problems. How would one develop such a skill without knowing the definition of “than”?
spying probably pays better.
Yes, yes it does. Someone who has been around for 27 years versus someone who has been here only 6 years has a much better understanding of how this forum works. We know the inside stories, shared jokes, purges, tolerable and intolerable offences and the hoaxes we've seen. Most importantly we know we exist here in Jim Robinson's living room by his behest. It's his forum and his format. Deal with it.
As I see it, FR is not a democracy, but a benevolent dictatorship run by JimRob.
Yep you trolls are so easily confused and then you make it even more confusing - way to go!!
#1 I've never used huber or any other transportation app
#2 self important is still important so I count that as a win for me.
Welcome, newbie.
I have one of those at each door.
The ‘Troll’ accusation has become the FR version of Godwin’s Law.
evening star aka Ken Willians was a dear friend met him here we enjoyed many a sunday brunch together his wife my wife
Yes, you do understand completely.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. Democracy is mob rule.
Voltaire, the great French philosopher and writer "distrusted democracy, which he saw as propagating the idiocy of the masses." Fifteen years after Voltaire died, the Reign of Terror that followed the French Revolution proved him right.
Democracy (mob rule) was what caused Black Men to get lynched in the Democrat Party controlled South.
Our United States of America's Founding Fathers intentionally rejected democracy because of this. We are a Constitutional Republic comprised of representatives who, wisely we hope, vote on our behalf just to temper the negative effects of mob rule.
Your observation of "FR is not a democracy" is an actually a plus.
