VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

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.

Is telling the truth about a person an attack? Is defending someone against slanderous attacks, an attack? Is standing up for what I believe and going after a person's false statements an attack? If so, ban me now. I've not gone after any person who did not deserve going after. Did you even read my posts or do you just take people's word for it? This forum has changed, Jim. And it is not a change for the good.

[Petronski]

Post 1237 on THIS thread is slanderous? You're crazy.

[Freeper]

A Practical Limit of Two Thousand Five Hundred Replies Has Been Reached. Thanx to everyone for your participation.

[Jim Robinson]

What I don't want on FR is this constant fighting and people insulting and attacking each other.

[HalfFull]

Read my lips: if you continue attacking people YOU will be banned.

So, now good people are banned for debating an issue under discussion? DittoJed2, myself, and others have been accused on "attacking". I have never seen dittojed2 use a personal insult, and I do not believe I have used one. I do, however, point out abuses of others and call them on them.

You talk about "fairness" with distain...I prefer to talk about justice.

Gore3000 is one of the few in the Creation/evo debates who start out talking about Science. When attacked, he shoots back without pushing abuse. At least he has courage, unlike some on these forums.

Sure, this forum will survive without many Christians...but will it be a better forum? I think not.

[Jim Robinson]

What part of "if you continue attacking people you will be banned" do you think is not right? Do you have a license to attack people on FR?

[DittoJed2]

Where was the personal attack in either of our posts that you just responded to, JimRob?

[wimpycat]

Yeah, tell me about it. There's nothing in #1237 worth complaining over. Or #1273.

Some people, I don't know who and I don't care, just need to let it go and not take stuff so seriously.

[DittoJed2]

He meant 2337

[DittoJed2]

See the post below yours.

[Jim Robinson]

And, by the way, now that you've brought it up, we have thousands and thousands of Christians on this forum that are not constantly getting abuse reports racked up on their accounts. How is it that the vast majority can live peacefully with others on this forum, but a few cannot?

I think it might do everyone good to go over and post on the prayer thread for our troops.There is a war going on and they need our prayers as do the families.

[DittoJed2]

That didn't answer the question posed though, Jim. Do you want Christians on this forum? I mean, sometimes we express our opinions rather adamantly and don't particularly budge from what we have said. Do you want us on here?

[gore3000]

Post 1237 on THIS thread is slanderous? You're crazy.

Not crazy, just wrong number, should be 2437.

[DittoJed2]

2337??? :o)

OOH! OOH! OOH! I KNOW! PICK ME, TEACH! PICK ME!

Some Christians seem to do a better job than others of cultivating the virtue of humility. I need a LOT of work on that one, myself.

And by the way, Jim, how is it that I can be a VERY ACTIVE POSTER on this forum and not get abuse reports "racked upon on my account" and in two months I've been on these threads suddenly I'm this bad evil poster who just is on here to cause trouble?

It's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and Bill Clinton.

One has a moral set of standards and is called a hypocrite. The other lives by no standards and his ill behavior is expected. Accountability is the key to our countries blessings.

Rush has character and is willing and able to repent.
Clinton can't and won't repent of the behavior he wishes to protect. (Master of the troll clause).

Is it all relative? Who do we wish to associate with?

P.S. I do love your forum, and I pray it continues to be a pillar of both social and fiscal conservative views.

Thank you for your hard work.

Probably because they are not posting on threads where they are attacked. However, bring any of those folks on the Cre/evo threads and have them post that they believe in a Creator as described in Gen 1 and see if THEY remained un-attacked.

[gore3000]

we have thousands and thousands of Christians on this forum that are not constantly getting abuse reports racked up on their accounts.

So how come it is only Christians that are banned and not atheists Jim?

Are you saying that Christians are more abusive than atheists?

Do you expect anyone to believe that?

And what about post# 2337? Why is it still up?
