Over a year ago I too got a little fed up with the general discourse and even pulled my measly monthly contribution. But I did it totally in PRIVATE and let only those I respected the most know I'd be off for a while if not forever.
Fortunately I calmed down, got over myself and jumped back in simply because I know I'm not the problem. I'm a freaking genius and I have good points to make. Besides, I like to mix it up as good as the next person. Do I get disappointed? Sure. Who doesn't? Do I wonder how Republicans and conservatives will ever be able to govern given the fact we fight hard amongst ourselves? Of course. But it beats standing in line going off a cliff bleating "baaaaaaaa" like the left does.
We argue, they fall in line and eat their own. Just read some of the sick crap at DU. Hell, I'm mad at my own mother right now because she's an envious crap head that actually believes it should be against the law to own an SUV or a big house and still treats me like I'm a child. I won't talk to her for 60-90 days (again) but it will pan out in the long run.
After reading yet another "I'm leaving so there" thread I'm starting to wonder if there is a sucicide pact going on we should investigate! lol
Read more, post less, and Freepmail your friends...but don't go. Works for me.
If so, and I'm told by a few people that you did, then why not acknowledge the truth?
Your sarcastic post 262 directed to me (one that was not deleted) - "you and you alone had the truth" is remarkable. I am willing to acknowledge the truth; you remain unwilling to do so. Speaks volumes.
I used to absolutely LOVe the black helicopter threads. The wonderful imaginations.....
This group is a Kerry like anti war group..Tonk criticizes over Kerry not being thrown out ..I said it wouldn't happen..but
I appreciate Tonk's Swift Boat Vet support and anti Kerry info..He may not be a big Bush supporter but he sure worked hard to get him elected! Thank you,Tonk!
I'll take it..You can't get all you want!
Do you agree with me that it is our duty to work within the law and strive to change laws that do not represent our values?
I was mixed on Elian.
Still am.
Hated to see him go to Cuba,
but father's rights won the day I reckon.
As for Terri Shiavo. POTUS was right: err on the side of life, but from everything I have read, the courts followed the law... it was Attorney Gibbs who should have been more clear.
Most religious folks around here didn't go nuts. Just a minority of them who were very vocal -- they went nuts.
But look what you've done. You've painted all religious folks as nuts. You've done exactly what you complain about.
Now that's just plain nasty....
I am still upset that Jim showed Rivero the door before he explained to us why it was that he and he alone knew that JFK Jr. called into the tower at Martha's Vineyard....I wonder if I can find him on the internet?
You just have to ignore it. There is too much work to be done to let this place go. Just think "President Hillary" that ought to put things in perspective :o)
Since you said this is not an "Opus", I, for one, hope you will return and will welcome you gladly.
Your's is an important voice and, in this case, silence is not golden.
Did you call another FReeper a liar in your post in the 90s which was deleted?
NO! Vietnam Vets are our heroes. Y'all saved our country this past election!
Amen!....Ditto..Right on!
Ah yes, Michael Rivero! Who was the other guy who used to stir things up around here? I've been trying to remember his name for weeks. The one Jim finally opened up his own seperate forum for (remember, it had a link at the top of the page). I think he eneded up starting the first anti-freeper site.
Somehow I can't get it out of my mind that this is some kind of slap down from elements of our opposition for our part in Rathergate. This site gained credibility over the years because of long time posters like you and other long timers who have left here these past few days. Every one such as you who leaves takes a little more of that credibility with them when they go.
No opus for me. Just disengagement for a period of time.
If you already KNOW what I said, why are you continuing to ask me about it? I said it; it was pulled; I've stated very plainly in other posts what I thought about what she said.
Since you already KNOW what I said, one could presume you are baiting me.
And even more people feel the necessity to be SO obvious in their exits from FR and confirming their self-centered nature in print.
