Must be he’s getting carpal tunnel from signing all those martial law extensions every 90 days to keep from holding elections.

Typical. You can’t attack the information so you attack people instead.

I think quite the reverse is true since the objection is not whatever "information" the spam of the threads is supposed to deliver.

The issue is your attack on me, carried out by someone who doesn't pay to support this website. And that is a valid point to consider, since the website does not run for free, and it is not your "right" to post here. None of us possess that "right", even those of us who pay for the privilege. You and marcusmaximus are allowed to post here wholly because of the generosity of the Robinson brothers and their team.

I am stating a fact that the person who started this thread is a "Freeloader". That is undeniable, unless he/she/it has decided to remain an anonymous user of this resource that is called "Free Republic". If the person who started this thread does indeed pay anonymously, I will retract my criticism of him or her directly.

And you are most likely a Freeloader as well. Your behavior fits to the letter the definition of a Freeloader.

Words have meaning. I know to some, that is merely a concept. However, just to help you out (because it is entirely possible that English may not be your first language if you think I am attacking people instead of the issue) here is the definition from the Cambridge English Dictionary:


freeloader
noun [ C ] disapproving
US /ˈfriˌloʊd·ər/

A person who has the advantage of something given, such as money, food, or a place to stay, without offering anything in exchange

Both you and the person who spams these threads are taking advantage of this forum. And you are doing it without offering anything in exchange.

That de facto makes you a "Freeloader".

You may not like the truth. But the truth is, you are both "Freeloaders" (and I cordially invite you to contest this in some way) But there it is. And to real conservatives, the concept of "Freeloading" is an alien abomination. I grant that you may not understand that sentiment.

You, however, to my knowledge are not spamming this forum, but your propensity to ride on the backs of others and let them pay for this privilege of posting your "opinions" here (for what those "opinions" of yours appear to be worth, if your last two posts to me are any indication) allows you to take advantage of this forum (to post ignorant "opinions" such as categorizing a statement of fact as an ad hominem attack) in ways that many other people are allowed to and their contributions are much appreciated.

We do not categorize the vast majority of those people who post here (but do not pay to support the website) as "Freeloaders" since they do not spam the forum with their threads, they do not attack other posters for statements of facts, and they do often contribute in many ways that make them welcome guests.

Those Freepers do contribute to the comity of the people who frequent this forum, and they offer ideas, debate, and good conversation and friendship. As a result, they are most welcome and are not in any way viewed as Freeloaders.

You and the person who started this thread DO spam the forums with your threads, DO attack other posters for statement of facts, and neither of you contribute in ways that make you "welcome guests" except, perhaps, to others of your ilk.

That makes both of you Freeloaders.

Excellent point.

And even when I point it out you keep on attacking. It’s like you are not in tune with reality... I suggest you see a doctor. You have to take care of yourself...

“Hey, POGO163, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”

Dear FRiends, Our FReepathon is our next concern. We still need to raise approximately $4k before the end of the month to meet our goal! And I think we’re gonna need a little prayer here. Thank you very much and God bless you.

Why should I bother to "refute" a freeploading troll, BOGO?

You can’t refute what I post so all you can do is try to attack me

Pointing out that you're a deadbeat isn't an "attack"...

By contributing at least $30/month (or $360/year) to Free Republic you can be a member of the Free Republic Dollar-A-Day club."You can contribute any combination of monthly and/or one-time contributions to reach this goal."

Or you can be like marcus, and not contribute ANYTHING but spam, rooterspimpink and blogpimping to Free Republic!

Further dialogue with that person would not be constructive. FR has taught me over the years when there are times to just let that go...and that was one of them.
