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.

That's what I'm here for ;0)

You are welcome, Alamo.

Ya know? I never really had any problems with BadJoe either - He always seemed to care about FR, and yes, he had integrity. I fear for him though, in what he's doing and what he's becoming.

It's sad, really... :(

SHALOM!

I agree with You S Jackson.

And I neglected to mention ISRAEL.

Many on FRee Republic absolutely Stand With and Support ISRAEL and our Jewish People.

And for that I will always be Very, Very Grateful for ALL of You!

May HaShem - The Living GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob / Israel (Blessed Be HIS Holy Name) Continue to BLESS ISRAEL, The USA and FRee Republic.

I preferred going in at the $10/month level. Worth every penny. How else would I have learned of Doctor Raoul, realized I had an opportunity to FReep Hillary, and by doing so, have joined the incredibly prestigious "I bedevilled the Hildebeast" fraternity?

As I said, -- explains a lot of what goes on around here..

Thanks.

BTW, you can read about that on Hugh Akston's homepage.

I have been suspended, I deserved it, I spent a couple of weeks wishing for a magic backspace key, but I never resented my situation or felt that an injustice had been committed against me.

I have not yet been suspended from FR.com, though, there have been many times when I thought that prospect was inevitable.

FR.com is not a perfect place, but it is indeed my favorite place on the Internet. I want to post here forever, but I do not see that as a likely paradigm. I am just too darn radical.

There are a few persons out here who I just want to kick the ass of, but that is not likely going to ever happen either. I sort of like the idea that they might know how I truly feel. If those persons do not know who they are, then I hope that they might actually read these words and actually consider the prospect that I am talking about them.

I like that concept, that I am truly waiting to beat on them. Of course I won't ever do it, but I like thinking about it, in some odd way.

In the end, it is all about debate, and the fundamental reality that, "reasonable people do tend to disagree." That is the profound reality. We think, we ponder, we wax pensive, and we end up somehow contrary.

That reality, is problematic for me. Oh well, that is just the way that it is. Thank God for the FR.com. If it were not here then somebody would have had to invent it. Well then, that has been done! I must bow to the Robinsons, They did what we all could not, or would not do. Kudos to them!

Support FR bump.

[TaxRelief]

The problem is that the rules aren't clear enough. For instance, discussions of anarchy are verboten but why does no one get zotted for trashing free trade?

The challenge is to stay alive long enough to learn all the rules and long enough to learn to conform. The rewards obviously are countless.

Is LibertyForum another site created by a former freeper?

[Canadian Outrage]

Jim: You have Freepmail!!

[trussell]

I'm sure your donation is appreciate by all who care about FR. I know I appreciate it!!

Blessings,

Debatable.

 

 Perhaps I should take a look at the new site. It seems unlikely to me that an imitation would be superior to the authentic site which is not going to be defended by it's original manager for reasons unknown to me.

[TaxRelief]

YES! That liberty place is the FR graveyard.

[tpaine]

If mods are going to participate in 'heated' discussions, they should refrain from 'moderating' their opponents..

Not that I can prove that I was so 'moderated', of course.. - But perhaps Bad Joe will know..

[Catspaw]

How dramatic of Joe to release his dossier on the one-year anniversary of storming off in a snit.

Like anyone gives a rat's ass.

It must really suck to be him.

[yonif]

So we have a LibertyForum and a LibertyPost?

and "Freedom Undergroud", "Original Dissent" ad nauseum...
