Your comments could apply to many users of this forum, most of whom seem to have a part of their "core" invested in Free Republic.

The majority do not appear to be attending protests, showing up at social events, signing up for FRN, or thanking the hosts of the daily threads that run here at FR.

Maybe things will be better when we're rid of everyone who won't go with the flow and just toe the line.

Heck...some of us...even though lambasted by the PTB, went to the dark corners of the internet and took on the Anti's, sat in their private quarters and then took down their clubs.

Some of us worked with JohnRob on a continual basis helping him ferret out mutliple screen names.

Some of us have had our homes, places of employment called, e-mailed and otherwise harassed.

Well, crap then...I guess I just better hop on board 100% before they come and cart me away...

yes yes yes...I'm sure their dad is bigger than my dad and all that....

You apparently misread my post. In every organization, no matter what type or size it is, it always boils down to a certain small percentage of worker bees and activists who actually carry the load in big or small ways. There's nothing intrinsically bad about this, it's just the way human nature is. Not everyone has the time, preference or physical ability for waving flags on street corners, for instance. But they are supportive in their own ways.

My reference was specific....those members of an organization or group who do nothing but whine, complain, needle, insult, try to bring down the leader or owner, or negatively use an organization's forum just for their own entertainment.

They never participate in positive activities or provide any modicum of verbal support. In my opinion, they are leeches, hypocrites and carry zero weight with me.

As I pointed out very clearly, we have our share of these keyboard jockeys and attention-seekers whose only participation in FR for years has been to condemn it and try to pick away at the management. Their endless trash-typing is their life recreation. It's amazing how they stick like Jiffy-Glu to any organization they consider to be so awful.
