FR Wikipedia entry
12/25/13 | Awestruck

Posted on 12/25/2013 1:01:05 PM PST by Awestruck

Am I the only one to notice that most of the Wikipedia entry about FR is one big hit piece? Or does it not matter because it is editable? Don't meant to be dense...just curious.

Not the best place for that.

My apologies

A lot of FReepers claim liberals are stupid but fail to notice that they control all major internet portals....

What link was that?

Very good question.

The only link I see that carries the information in question is the one posted by you at 152. The only link I find that Star Traveler posted referred to the August JR post which did not contain the voting information. Also noted is the fact that S.T. claimed he posted the link "immediately" after receiving it, but he did not and has not done so.

As of around 0300 this date the WikiP.D.A. information had not been corrected so IF S.T. possessed that information he neither posted it on this forum or corrected the WikiP.D.A. misinformation "immediately".. You posted your link at 0637 this date and we see on WikiP.D.A. that the article in question was modified at 1101 today. ("This page was last modified on 26 December 2013 at 11:01.")

Also noted is that S.T. posted here at 1051 that someone had already changed the WikiP.D.A. article implying his knowledge of an event even before WikiP.D.A. acknowledges the edit. Of course that could be a strange coincidence - S.T. may possess some prophetic gift - or - just maybe the mysterious 'someone' that S.T. continues to refer to is himself (which could - note I said 'could' not 'does' - logically lead to other deductions, such as that just possibly S.T. is a TBLer...) It seems that you had to do the reference work, and that S.T. is now claiming ownership.

Seems sort of like playing chess with a pigeon...

Thanks Ansel12, for your work.

You really can’t read with comprehension, can you?

No ST you are a typical lib poster that steers conversation away from a point being made and ignores facts . I’ve been telling you for years that you’re a troll. Usually I ignore you. A lot of FReepers do.

I think you’re mistaking me for someone else. You won’t find lib credentials with me. I even ran through one of those online rating things where they rate where you are on the political spectrum. You can see it on my page.

BUT ... then again ... some people just like to use that phrase whenever someone disagrees with them ... :-) ...

Nope.

Now where have I heard that before? Oh right. Another troll said that. Quite a few in fact.

Those "tests" mean squat. It's what you post, or don't post, that's important.

Obfuscation and dis-ingenuousness is a dead give away.

You've been on my troll list for at least 6 years. The last two days hasn't changed that.

You have a nice day.

Then you “score” all my posts, in the aggregate, and show how they represent lib credentials ... :-) ...

I’ve been looking over Star Traveler’s posts. He’s no lib.

Star, your link did not tell us how JR voted, or verify the Wiki claim.

Wiki made a very specific claim, a detailed claim, “”However, just nine days before election day 2012, Robinson backtracked, admitting he was voting for Romney and a straight GOP ticket. [56]””

You have seemed totally clueless on this thread, you still don’t understand that I was looking for proof of how JR voted personally, since that was the SPECIFIC claim, not whether he had switched to telling other people that they should vote for the GOP candidate, for one thing, living in California, he could have been advising out of state freepers while personally not voting for Romney, since his California vote doesn’t count in presidential races.

You continue to confuse proving his switching to supporting the Romney/Ryan ticket, with having proved EXACTLY how he voted, my link cleared that up, your link didn’t clear it up at all.

I did read that you were looking for that ... but I wasn’t. If you go back and read my initial conversation with another person who said it didn’t matter, you’ll see that I said that if he gave me a citation from Jim Robinson that he didn’t change his mind and didn’t vote for Romney, that I would go to Wikipedia with that citation and change it from he did vote for Romney to he didn’t vote for Romney.

However, the citation that I received, which I posted right away, showed that Jim Robinson did change his mind and did vote for Romney. Since “that” is specifically what I had asked for, when I got it, it was proven right that he did indeed change his mind and vote for Romney.

As the conversation progressed along from there to other people jumping in on it, they went beyond that - to the date involved and the fact of voting straight party-line - which wasn’t me who wanted that, but others.

So, at that time (in the conversation) I said that someone else could look up that additional information - and as it turns out - you did exactly that and proved that the entire thing said on Wikipedia, about Jim Robinson’s voting, was true after all.

And I do thank you for clearing it all up and proving once and for all, that what Wikipedia said about Jim Robinson’s voting was entirely true, after all.

Purposely missing and ignoring facts and points, taking subjects off the original point, pretending not to understand or totally ignoring what's being said are liberal debate tactics.

I have no intention of discussing my opinion of over 6 years.

Hope your day is great.

You have shown yourself to be a spaced out nutcase and dishonest, totally clueless, and willing to play troll to prove it.
