I asked Jim Robinson today to delete my account on Free Republic. He asked me to post an opus so some folks would not think that I was banned for no reason. Here is my brief opus:
Thank you Free Republic and Good Bye. This was an excellent forum for many years but now I do not think it is so in my humble opinion. The trend where the forum is going is very clear to me and I do not want to be part of it.
For all the Freepers with whom I have had good relationship and great discussions I want to thank you for all the good time we had together on this forum.
God Bless America and Our Brave Troops.
PS: Now Jim Robinson can ban my account.
Maybe this thread has something to do with the decision?

A lot of that is because you can’t post squat anymore.
"We'll miss you J"
Mad Ivan’s forum was great. I really miss it. But I didn’t quit Free Republic to join. It was more of a place to exchange personal info and opinions... sometimes what one was cooking for lunch, etc.
Bad decision on your part. FR has its ebbs and flows. You’ve only been here since 2001. You need to take the long view.
Wow, haven’t seen you around here in awhile, but then I was gone for a few years. How ya been stranger?
Maybe we oughtta have a “class of 98” reunion thread .... these newbies and youngin’s on here might learn a thing or two.....
No, no, no! You are one of my all time favorites!!!
Ok based on that picture I’m in for life.

The fact that he still hasn’t been removed may show that JimRob has decided to save jveritas from himself for now.
Well, golly. After all the crappola that this forum has been through together, seems mighty unusual to be fed up and leaving now.
But, whatever.
Best wishes to you and yours.
You’re right ... the nastiness seems to be on the upswing.
I dealt with a couple of drama queen losers this week but it didn’t make me want to quit Free Republic.
It did make me wish they would quit, tho.
Bro, I've always admired your gentle nature and sensitivity towards others.
LTNS, how ya been? These newbies on here with their OPUS' think they're something don't they?
I have to say that the IQ on the forum dropped due to the large number of idiots who joined in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Look at any stupid post and there is over 70% probability that it coming from members who joined in the last three years.
I support this view.
from what I can gather:

The IQ level on this forum has dropped significantly in the last two years. Do not talk logic to many on this forum because they are incapable of understanding.

There is no solution. They have already taken over the forum with the full approval of Jim Robinson.

You can still read the posts
Is English your first language? If so, I understand there are courses to improve comprehension. Take one.
Newbies? He has been on FR since 2001, for goodness sake!
