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.

None of them seemed to have been banned, and they were pretty oppositional last night<

So now being oppositional is grounds for banning? Having NO debate is how you avoid opposition.

[stands2reason]

Yes, but unfortunately they are quotes from other people.

[js1138]

I was pointing out that those who were oppositional were, in fact, not banned, and are probably in no danger of being banned. There is a lot of lattitude here for blowing off steam. It takes more than a few angry posts to get banned. You have to convince management that you are harming the site.

Not being management, I can't say exactly what that might be in any given case.

[MEG33]

Some called Jim Robinson everything but the devil's disciple.I hardly think that is an example of being too quick on the banning.

I would wipe out the account of anyone who spoke to me like that on my forum,that I created.

Some people don't take responsility for their own words.It has not been good advertising for my faith.

[stands2reason]

(the bulk of them among the ordinary, hard-working, community oriented classes that pretend to have such "compassion" for).

I've come to realise that they don't have compassion for anyone that (they think) doesn't "need" them.

Actually, as one who often braves the foul waters of what the crevo threads hold, I can state that you'd be in the good company of many theistic evolutionists. And even the "liberal hell-bound commie socialist thug slimer atheists" such as myself would certainly not argue your spiritual beliefs. (Despite what the martyrs around here will have you believe). In fact, "commie socialist liberal christian bashing atheists" such as myself, are the distinct minority in those threads.

In fact, I'll contend that the crevo threads have some of FR's finest humor, and some of the more clever posts around.

What's funny for the crevo crew lurking this thread right now, is watching earnest freepers such as yourself try to discuss matters with effdot, aka f.christian. We all gave up months, if not years ago. We all have our pet theories regarding his ways, the best being the one about his resemblance to an elaborate ELIZA program, with a little e.e. cummings thrown in.

At any rate, if you ever care to wade on in, you're more than welcome. As you've seen in this thread over the last 30 hours or so, it's getting better all the time.

[AndrewC]

Some people don't take responsility for their own words.It has not been good advertising for my faith.

I take responsibility for my own words and I challenge you to find anything on this thread that I have posted which is not consonant with Jesus teachings or example. That being written in order to challenge the statement that would place me in a position to be banned unless the charge was for merely being oppositional.

Actually, I was wondering if fdot is actually one of those "Intellibots" created by ALS... ;0)

[stands2reason]

I was referring to the post in FC's #2844.

[MEG33]

And be ye kind one to another,tenderhearted,forgiving one other,even as God ,for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

[stands2reason]

The Creator used Evolution as his tool of creation... I'd get it from both sides

Awww, poor thing! For the most part, I believe the same.

[MEG33]

You were not a part of the insulting.I was explaining that some were.

[whattajoke]

Andrew, you know that you are *by far and away* easily one of the most amenable creationists in those threads. I must say that I was surprised to see you jump on to the lemming train last night.

your opposition to those such as myself has never been cause for any concern to my memory, and you are respected by most, if not all of us.

In fact, there have been several times that you've been singled out as consistently tempered and reasoned. Please don't get mixed up in the DesUni martyrdom parade, for you own sake.

I seem to have lost all track of who's doing what to whom and on what post in which thread. Sorry. ;^)

[js1138]

Dittos for a most excellent opponent.

[bonfire]

Been watching too much "Carnivale" lately?

[ChewedGum]

I'm confused too, but that's ok. Just smile and nod your head and no one can tell.

Dittojed2 is still here as well.

# 3000 of perhaps the strangest thread in the history of FR.
