Dear Free Republic Friends,
My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.
So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):
I have poisoned the well.
By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.
By my intellectual ineptitude.
By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.
By my biting every hand that fed me.
By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.
By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.
Evidenced by:
One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.
By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.
BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.
Conclusion:
It is a sad day.
For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.
So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?
I can hardly wait.
Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.
We've given suggestions on how to act more constructively on Free Republic. We've asked. We've pretty much begged. We've taken some actions, when we don't like taking actions.
It's becoming clear that we are going to have to act further.
Look at this thread. For the last 1,000 posts, it has been swamped under a cre/evo bickerfest. Even those who find the subject interesting to debate are turned off by it and are running for the hills.
It's got to stop. It will stop.
Take some time to think it over. This thread will remain locked for a while so everyone gets to see it who is participating in it.
The instigations, the accusations, the insults, the baiting, and the whining to the moderators stops now. If it doesn't, then I'll take the next steps.
When that happens, don't say you weren't warned, don't say that you were treated unfairly, don't blame it on the other side. You'll only have yourself to blame.
Don't paint a bullseye on yourself and then act surprised when you are hit.
I doubled too. Florida rules!
Point of Latin trivia: the plural of opus is opera, which works pretty well in the FR opus sense. In opera, a character walking around with a knife sticking out of her chest will be singing her lungs out for the next quarter-hour.
... and if so, is it any relation to Lutefisk?
Both would seem to be acquired tastes.
I've been a FReeper since (a) Bush vs. Gore (b) The early days of 1998 (c) The founding of the Republic (d) The middle Jurassic. Over the last (a) two years (b)six months (c) two weeks (d) three minutes I've noticed a sad decline in the quality of the posts here. Posters who draw attention to the serious issues raised by (a) Pat Buchanan (b) John McCain (c) Ted Kennedy (d) contrails are increasingly (a) ridiculed (b) marginalized (c) banned (d) hunted down and killed like dogs. The only ones left are yes men to (a) George W Bush (b) Jim Robinson (c) Arnold Schwarzenegger (d) The VRWC. I've therefore decided to leave FR and post only to (a)LP (b) Lew Rockwell (c) DU (d) the New York Times reader forum.
Nice list, but you need the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderbergers, Illuminati, Knights Templars, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, and YMCA.
Isb't it standard www registration to supply a screenname and an e mail adress ?
3) HOWEVER, the site owner is non other than banned FReeper ALS. Possibly the scariest poster I've ever been witness too. Alamo Girl has accused him of "cyber stalking." I am fully aware of another female FReeper who has a similar (and even scarier) story about the man. I don't know many details, but I certainly believe both women, as I have never had reason not too. So, ALS has this little thing going over there at his site, with 2 other bannees (goodseedhomeschool and jessesherun) and a few of our more colorful creationists (gore3000 et al) and they want US to visit, give names, residencies, IP's, addresses, god knows what else, you sure as hell know he logs each and every IP that visits his site (and notice that gore's recently posted links all take you there) and lord knows what he does with the info he collects. And no, this isn't tin foil material, I am actually serious, despite my screenname.
This is ... the above --- all paranoid psychotic !
evo hugnuts !
OMG! We forgot the UFOs and crop circles!!!
[Of course, to be a real tinfoiler, one needs to intersperse one's posts with random capitalized words, the word "fedgov," and multiple exclamation points. To wit:
"The ILLUMINATI at the Federal Reserve System -- an illegal FEDGOV operation!!! -- are VACCINATING the HOV lanes with FLOURIDE!!!"]
