I hope you realize that this a thread was in defense of another person, not a lecture that was dreamt up out of the blue.
I cannot sit idly by and watch you all beat the tar out of people for the registration date on their names.
Some of you, I see, after looking at your previous posts, who have quickly attacked me on this thread have seemed to make a habit of this practice on others as well. (that is for oh8eleven...semper fi, buddy)
And to tear into me, well, I'll take it, simply because I wouldn't appreciate seeing a person behave this way in public to a stranger, and I would react in the very same way face to face. The www does not give a person a license to be rude or idiotic.
Next time, I'll make sure to email a copy of something I plan to post to you critics, and ask if it offends the almighty registration date rule.....
Meg, thank you for your kindness. I appreciate your tour of freerepublic, you really went out of your way for me and I won't forget that.
O.K. I now have an opening. "ALL" of us are now beating the tar out of newbies? C'mon now. Take a deep breath, refrain from posting for a few months, and everything will be better.
Generalizations are not a good idea...You All is not fair.
I welcomed you here and hope you get to understand the rough and tumble is not fatal..initiations are normal, it takes awhile to find one's way....
We are not perfect...just the best conservative forum I have found. I think it took a long time before I was pinged by someone..There are thousands of FR members..
I just loved having a place to discuss politics, get the news, discover other viewpoints,get on live threads of breaking news, grieve over losses,cheer over triumphs, see even a kitty thread once a week...We love our country, our military, our vets, and many of us love our God.
Tone it down a little, chickadee, and you'll get along a whole lot better with everyone, newbies and oldbies.
