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.
The shame!
Like all of us she has done stupid things that she'd rather not be known but she also knows that she is loved so she told her mom and it was decided that if mother or grandmother received such correspondence it was going into the fire.
That was the end of it and he no longer had any power over her.
I think you've done the right thing in warning us all and as for me...well I can't burn my monitor but I can choose not to read any thread by BadJoe.
The ultra-secret room inside the Packer Pro Shop.
You didn't know about THAT?
I get such an empty pit feeling when families have squabbles, but I stand behind the people I love and respect --and am indebted to you. You and Fr.com have change my life, and I thank you.
I have another comment to make in regards to the $1.00 donor, but it is late here in the East. Till the morrow------
Now, enough of this -- get back to work! hehehe
Question (just curious): Did anyone here NOT ALREADY KNOW I'm a Mod? (I've outed myself so many times, I'd lost count. My self-outings were unintentional, of course ;-)

Now there is a blast from the past, does she ever visit anymore. ??
| Posters on this site would find, to their delight and astonishment, that they had been quoted by famous people, that their ideas ended up on Fox News, or in a famous authors book, or speech, we were read by everyone from Senators, to Authors, to nervous CEO's when we went into boycot mode, it was a heady time. Every time you posted was with a sense of responsibility to get it right. It was vitally important to the individual to be a part of it, love, sweat, and effort was poured into this site. To be banned or dismissed was not just a trivial little thing to be blown off or move on from, it was being cut out of a historical event, a powerhouse site. It was a rejection that cut to pieces like an amputation. It was a loss that truncated the individuals ability to influence powerful people. It created enemies, and some enemies that are very fine people in their own right.

Have thought a moment or two about who the MOD'S might be here, and yes...thought you may be one. LOL, also thought JeanS and kattracks was too. And.....
