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.

It's some of the non-bannings that really raise the questions. If they aren't valid, then neither are some of the bannings.

El Bingo....

G'nite, friend. Sleep well.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Yikes! I figured you were way too busy to be freeping tonight! Please see my post 755.

[JohnHuang2]

Got'cha ;-)

[Chad Fairbanks]

No, but that will now be the spin, rest assured...

[NewLand]

Nothing like a good clean anti-bacterial soap for the little booger threads that have evolved...

.........LOL.........

[JohnHuang2]

Mods, you really are the best of FR. You have been true friends to me and real soldiers for FR. Thank you for standing up for FR, for Jim, and for me.

The feeling's mutual, my friend.

[TomServo]

and now, there's "WHINOS" ;0)

Hey - thanks for reminding me! Time for a trip to the fridge...

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

sure. Whatever you say. lol

[Joe Hadenuf]

My thoughts....Hehehe.....

[Lancey Howard]

I'm still here

And that's a good thing.

Hey, my keyboard is a spin-free zone (ducks, listens for lightning strikes nearby). It was just a thought.

[Jim Robinson]

Howdy MAF!

Thank you God for giving us Texas!!

Reminds me of that old country song:

"If Heaven ain't a lot like Texas, then I don't wanna go."

Our mods are the greatest!!

[Chad Fairbanks]

I can't understand why people think the mods are heavy-handed and stuff.

Check out my 'torie' theory.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

No one deserves to be the target of abuse like we have been for the past year+.

Well, except for Pardek. ; ) (Just kidding Pardek!)

You are right, MAF. Maybe this will be the end of the threats, insults, and innuendo - and maybe the individual with the "mod obsession" will find something better and more constructive to do now.

One can hope.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Do I hafta?

[Jim Robinson]

Always knew he was smarter'n me. He knew it too. Just didn't wanna let him know that I knew he knew.

[Lancey Howard]

Are moderators supposed to be secret people?
And if there are several of them, then at any given time nobody can be sure who the 'Admin Moderator' is, right?

I guess I don't understand what BADJOE's naming of moderators would accomplish, if that's what he intends to do.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

LOL, I've actually heard that song before. Some of the others you sing I think you make 'em up as you go. They do make me laugh.

I just know you're a Texan that got lost or something.
