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.

A failed blackmail Nazi Moderator disgruntled ex-freeper psychotic rambling sort of bump...

[Just another Joe]

Does it really matter who the AMs are.
If you follow writing styles you've probably got a pretty good idea on a few of them already.

As for the rest, I don't know BADJOE, or yourself, personally (I've met both of you but only to say hello and thanks for your work) but it sounds like a dispute between friends that has not been, or cannot be, resolved.

While there have been some changes made to the forum, even in the limited time I've been here, I don't pretend to know whether they have mandated by you or whether they have been forced upon you.

This is still the best forum on the net for news and commentary.
There are people still posting here that, I believe, could be published in any newspaper column in the country and have pride for their insights.

So why should I trust anyone with my credit card number for the fundraiser going on right now?

Come to think of it, the Viking Kitties HAVE been living beyond their means lately. One showed up for a ZOT thread in a Gucci helmet...

[jellybean]

I have an exposé of my own that I've been working on for over a year. I have discovered the identity of the ringleader of the Viking Kitties!

Well, you can contribute via PayPal, and no one other than PayPal ever sees your cc number.

Au contraire, BadJim. God will surely reward you for your loving endurance of the pathetic, the inane, the vacuous, the offensive, while upholding the flag and carrying the torch for the rest of us. Point man gets the first spears, the hardest hits.

You have my unbounded admiration. I restrain myself in your praise because I do not want to embarrass you.

I really don't understand why someone could get so upset about getting banned from a Message Board.

Uh, yeah. There are jillions of other forums out there, and if you get banned at one, you can pop up somewhere else. Why take it so hard? I was over at LP looking around awhile ago, and I was amazed at the number of poster who were banned here or left voluntarily and just can't let it go. Life goes on!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

All kidding aside, I did notice that AMEX sent out some new clear card to me about 11 months early, and all my cards have been replacing way ahead of schedule. I suspect that there has been a lot of crap going on, what with the online auction frauds, etc.

You post here and still trust anyone?! I bet you still sleep in the dark...I've gone through a pack of bulbs every week.

The "Man with the Gift" has turned the Biker Bar section of LP into his own personal blog. Some people have too much free time. LOL!

If you're going to be that paranoid, why should you trust anyone with your credit card number?

BadJoe - perhaps the alter ego of GoodJoe who saw wonderous things in his hat and blessed his reluctant wife with many "sisters" who could share the warmth of the prophet's bed.

JimRob needs penance see what you can dole out, if you really are papabile?

[Mo1]

Call me crazy ... but I don't really care who the names of the Ad Mods are

[Delphinium]

I wondered where some of them went.

[NeoCaveman]

My eyes. My eyes. You are one cruel dude.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

And who knows what else

He's going to out you for driving an SUV, isn't he?

[drstevej]

JimRob needs no pennance.
