chill on Yaelle.
You are right. It's just silly.
99% of the FReepers here are great, I don't see things the way he does I guess
And within weeks, maybe days, she announced the unveiling of her brand new website. The huge consensus here at FR at the time was that it was all planned out by Lucianne. Up until her VERY public leaving of FR and calling Jim a "mean Sh*t," it was "Eagles Up!" THIS and "Eagles Up!" THAT.
Again, at the time of her temper tantrum here at FR, it seemingly came totally out of the blue. No one could figure out what she was mad about. And then within days she had her "grand opening" of her website. It was downright nauseating.
And for Sean to basically put all this back in the laps of Freepers just flabbergasts me. If all 150,000+ of the Freepers straighten up their behavior and kiss his *ss, then he'll come back and grace FR with his presence. Amazing.
What is he smoking?
Great insight!
Maybe the strength of FR is how it trains us how NOT to bear a grudge. It seems to me, now seven years in, that grudges are penalized very highly.
Isolated in his ivory tower where he justifies everything through a narrow lens.
He got flamed out of here, and now joins the chorus of faux pain and deflated egos.
Not nearly tough enough to be leading any charge up the hill.
I'm sure he is thinking "why can't (sniff) we all get along?"
Well, because he publicly dissed us on the airwaves....wasn't man enough to come to FR and talk about his "concerns" face to face.
buk...buk...buk....bukahhhh!
A little extreme scenario, not my point and not what I intended for you to take from my reply. I guess I'd better read all about the frakus and the exchanges that went on.
It just upsets me to hear some of the comments that were made on this thread alone about who I thought was 'one of our own'.
If he needs to appologize, he should, but I'm starting to get the feeling that some freepers are the 'thin-skinned' ones in all this.
We could go the 'Rodney King route' - "Can't we all just get along?" /barf alert off
LOL
You're Famous.... No one ever seems to forget the bruising you can get on open forums.
I think you're right.
Look at the number of folks here who
do not know FR history regarding the
cited former FReepers. His audience
is surely lost...lol.
Why there is much on this forum that I don't care for, it's still probably the best one out there, warts and all. Does he want a totally purified Lucianne type cite? Yech. There's a world out there made up of different peopole with differnet backgrounds and different perspectives. Evidently there are conservatives out there that think the world needs to be vanilla and safe from any challenges to their thought process and that all forums must be an amen choir. I presume Don Morgan is still with Lucianne. That was his view of the world.
I've even advocated not deleting posts, but rather have the mods disclaim them. I've advocated not feeding the trolls, but people just cant' seem to do that. So the trolls are banned and they go back to their sites and brag about being banned. Leave them alone and they will eventually go away. They are starved for attention and we too often feed them.
amen to your post 419
You're telling me? Toad uses the Biker Bar to stalk me 24/7; he pastes almost every word I say on FR over there. he's been doing it for 2 years now. Claims to hate me, but if so, he sure has a funny way of showing it.
"...But conservative infighting doesn't help our cause."
Then why has Hannity started infighting with a conservative site?
Hmmm...
"Unbanned the banned!" ROFLMAO!
He ENVIES you.
Always has.
He just gave his FR opus to national audience.
So ..... I'm guessing Hannity didn't apologize?
