Well, it's been 4 years since I first found Free Republic. I have always felt like I belonged here and have really enjoyed the banter back and forth between us members. I am afraid all this is now over. I am really suprised and shocked at it's suddenness. Before I leave I want to thank a freeper from Michigan who sent me a DVD player last year to give to my kids for Christmas. You reaffirmed my faith in humanity.
I know this thread will be deleted before many people get to read it, but I just can't go without saying a final word. Every since 911 the 'vibe' here at FR has been decidedly hostile. I guess it was a matter of time before the newbie moderator got around to weeding me out for my sometimes unpopular views. So I join the ranks of A+Bert and so many others who gave FR a interesting flavor. I will miss coming here 20 times a day and keeping up on things. But without posting priviledges there is just no point. I must go find another conservative group to try to be a part of.
In the future, when a freeper who has been a loyal member since August 1998 crosses the line, how about a note instead of banning? Would that have been too much? I may have gotten out of line, how is beyond me, but if such a tresspass would have been pointed out I would gladly have refrained from doing so again. It is just not right to just ban an account with no explaination. Especially when the freeper has been here 4 years. I have no idea what I am going to do with my days now that I no longer have FR. Well, I guess I have said my part. It is a sad day when one has to leave family and friends. I feel like some of you were just that. But apparently I am no longer wanted around here. I bid my good day to you all and hope that karma pays it's respects to those who do injustice.
Is he an attractive man? Sure...but so is my evil democrat Senator Evan Bayh, and I can't stand that guy.
You are resentful that I would bring up male envy, but it is the same thing as what you are accusing women of using in their decision making.
If you don't agree with the President, fine. Argue with me about the merits of his programs. But when you drag in the sexual thing, you are no better than those who say that someone is racist because they don't like Colin Powell.
Well,I'll be damned! Miss Marple,you newbie! Get off my case!
Miss Marple = #13962
It's a match made in heaven! And she goes by Miss too.
Sorry, I've seen this thread for about seven hours now, after church, and had to say something.
It's sort of like Mary Matlin and James Carville. LOL!!
I didn't bring your family into this. Are they all members on FR?
What are you one of those ventriloquist's dummies sitting on Pete's lap?
You will notice that this is especially true of SOME of the women posters on FR. They will hit you with every slam they can think of,and when you respond in kind,they hit the abuse button and play "But...but...but,I'm just a gurl!". They think we are supposed to let them get away with stuff because they are female,or pretty. They need to learn that it is your ideas and your words that control how MOST people respond to you here,not how you look or your gender.
For me it was DITHF. I think I lasted about 3 days before I was banned for the first time.
Hmmm,I'm single,too! Does she have a steady job?
It seems to get harder by the day...and, booringly repetitious with every continuous reiteration.
Sigh...
Oh well, just a thought. Thanks for the response. I agree that the really ugly stuff probably shouldn't be reposted. I think we just get curious about the vanishing posts.
Hey! I'm MUCH prettier than Carville! I'm also from this planet.
Keep digging. Give me a yell when you've hit China.
Sad to say, I am married, and have been for many years. I chose my name in honor of the detective in Agatha Christie's novels, and never gave a thought to the fact that some might think me single.
I do have an unmarried sister though....
He gave it to me to give to you.
It should read "I am self-employed, as an antique dealer."
Maybe your sis will like sneakypete, he's an antique ;-)
