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.

And as I said the other day, I do not paste your remarks from LP over here.

It's against the rules over here. I'd have to ask a mod to remove them and put you in the cooler for a week.

[Floratina]

Badjoe may try to give FR a black eye in the PR department and all and that is really disappointing to say the least. I do have a real hard time believing that he would rip off anybody's credit card, though.

[Texasforever]

Keep your eyes open, if they're really closed, and you won't need to pretend to need to ask.

So you have nothing but speculation.

[tpaine]

Chad, - do you really run around FR with Armadillos in your trousers?


-- 'Armadildos'. -- Is that a new brand of salami?

[Sabertooth]

So you have nothing but speculation.

If that's your word for what you don't know, yes.

[Texasforever]

It's against the rules over here. I'd have to ask a mod to remove them and put you in the cooler for a week.

Well no one can accuse you of being fair can they?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

That's unfortunate, but my point remains: If you have something to say to me, say it here where I can respond. This posting of other people's remarks elsewhere without daring to confront them here is beyond gutless.

[Texasforever]

If that's your word for what you don't know, yes.

It appears to me that a fair man would back up his veiled accusations of "unfair' moderation with specific facts.

I see. Well, if you happen to spot an older, balding man muttering, "Damned mods!" lurking around your house, you'll know what he wants.

Hey, JimRo this is one question I asked my self all this time. Why are so many long time FR members migrating to LP.
What's going on?...what are you guys doing? Granted sometimes some of the members are a little uptight with their opinnions, but that is no reason to ban them for life after so many years of faithfull membership.

I have noticed that a host of some very long standing members of FR, now are very much in their realm, posting happily with no restrictions on "LP".

...and you know what the irony is...they are posting with the same "handle" as FR. Forget about the "Loony Toons" types, what about the "good" ones?.

I do not want to sound patronizing to you, but a general assesment and overhaul is overdue based on the facts on hand.

A general realignment of membership/posting censorship's guide lines should be observed.

Granted, it is your web site, conservative, and more. Are you a business man?

JimBo I do think that at this point you are at a turning point like it or not. What ever your decision, the faith of "FR" is in your judgement.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

It appears to me that a fair man would back up his veiled accusations of "unfair' moderation with specific facts.

I have to agree with that.

[Conservababe]

Okay, Okay...I am shy. I am a mod.

Well, that really should confuse him.

LOL

[Mo1]

Grammie .. you got a new hair doo

I like it .. it's sooooo you

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well thanks!

[JohnHuang2]

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

That's exactly right, friend.

[SAMWolf]

Bump and prayers that you find a new job quickly.

[Richard Axtell]

Perhaps he will expose my real name, oh... yeah. I did that long, long ago. So, may Badjoe enjoy his exile in his little sandbox, as... I certainly don't givea a damn what he does.

[MEG33]

I noticed on the thread Badjoe challenged JR orDale to post..a mod only thread,BadJoe suggested we all go over to Liberty Post when FR goes down.In light of what's happened,I find that very interesting...

Thank you for all the articles you post,Kattracks.I realize how many people contribute to FR's success.

I've reviewed the old threads,Dale's new thread and LP.BadJoe needs "help" with this destructive obsession.

[strela]

Howdy.

Were you aware that advertising is generally frowned on when it appears on your profile page?
