She lacks history. And context. I doubt Jim Rob even remembers his posts to the White Water posts back in 1986,1987.

Oh my - it's a recruitment thing!

Yeah, lots of David Naughton wannabees out there at that time.

I dated a very cute, very confused male dancer.Are there any cute, confused male dancers who are not gay?
Good grief, woman...
To: Senator Pardek
Hey, you're the expert. You tell me! (He pursued me and did the secret admirer thing, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt.)

Just read this post a few minutes ago.
LOL! I guess I must be the slowest one on the board, but I have an observation or two.
First of all, I love this site. Sure, it has gone through a few changes. many of the "old timers" were indeed libertarians and some of them were indeed the most aggravating and pompous people I have ever, ever had the mis-pleasure to have a discussion with.
They often shot from the hip and baited arguments so that niceties were thrown aside and often a participant was banned or suspended.
I noted however, over the period of time that BadJoe was so angry about, these types of unruly repartee exchanges had subsided and I came to understand that many of these folks had been banned and were trashing FR on Liberty Post.
Frankly, I was delighted and somber at the same time. Not that they had been banned, but because it came to that.
Also, I have worked for several organizations and it is natural, that over time, people get grandiose ideas of their value and the value of their contributions. For some, perhaps most, this may be in fact true, but this does not guarantee them a captains chair and a seat at the round table.(If you know what I mean)
Sometimes these same folks will take liberties with their assumed importance and try to run the company and insinuate poor performance in others who actually have the authority.
I have seen this hundreds of times during my career. It never happened to me as I never stayed anywhere long enough to get that way. But I understand the phenomenon, and I saw it with my own company that I started.
In closing, I hope there is not too much water under the bridge to keep from mending fences with all concerned. I hope that time will heal wounds and people will realize that the purpose is bigger than personality.
No organization can run perfectly when personalities and egos are involved. And, it takes leadership to overcome those difficulties, sometimes to the detriment of personal relationships.
I think we have that leadership and I admire the fact that anyone would want to subject themselves to the grief voluntarily.

First and foremost, one must keep in mind that this is not reality; this is an Internet bulletin board, an electronic forum.
The second thing to keep in mind is how funny all this talk from people who are using a fake name about why other people should not use a fake, fake name truly is.
And the reality of it all when you get right down to it, is that those who use their real name, meaning the same name that's on their birth certificate, are the ones who truly have nothing to hide. Ive had a lot of people tell me that they use pseudonyms when they post here for fear of suffering repercussions as a result of their opinions; imagine that. Freedom is a word thats constantly bandied about in FR, the need to be free, to defend our freedom, But I propose that if you fear repercussions from speaking your mind openly, and you hide as a result of that fear, you have already given up your freedom!
It's a fun place FR. We learn here, we entertain ourselves here, we develop friendships here, and we stay informed. Occasionally, we organize ourselves into action, and I will admit that FR has been instrumental in getting me involved, I mean REALLY involved. I have participated in events that I may have not otherwise participated in, but it's still only an Internet bulleting board. True, and to Jim's credit, and I am sure that many worked hard to make this the best bulleting board that I have ever come across, but its only a bulletin board nevertheless, and Jim owns it.
Maybe one day, hell get sick of me and toss me off, his right. I guarantee you that I will survive, and that you will not find me hanging about with some obsessed gaggle of lost souls talking about how the place sucks.
Ill leave that to Toddler and the Legends.
Doo-wop, doo wop

I have never said one bad word about Cal, and actually, I rarely get into any flame wars, although I have had my moments. I thought the only person I said that to was Hildy, but the real point is, there really is no reason for people to come here and trash the forum like they do. If they are so unhappy, why not leave. It is not my intention, EVER to hurt anyone, and If I did, I am sorry, but for you to make it appear that I am the responsible for hate on this forum was just plain insulting and untrue, and it ticked me off.
I know Jim, being from Fresno, and no one ever seems to think he has any feelings, and they are all trashing him here like he is some piece of meat to be chopped up because he doesn't do everything exactly like they want him to. I am a little sick of that, so I am on a hair trigger at the moment. You should have read my post in the beginning. I am tired of all of us being against each other, sick and tired of it. We are not the enemy, liberals are.

lazamataz is a frequent poster, but a much better freek went poster. His "obsequent, purple and clavorient" posts make FR a fun time. And that's what Jim forgets.

So, do you use this forum as the source of your columns? No, I was writing and published before I ever knew that FR existed.
