It's been a blast but it's time to say goodbye (GOPcap's opus)

[Constitution Day]

I'll be sorry to see you go. I've enjoyed many of your posts over the years.

I'm sure that since this thread is now over 200 posts, someone else has already said some of the things on my mind.
I hope the moderators & JR will take notice of the suggestions.

So I'll just say this: you will be missed.

Regards,
CD

Really? That was ann coulter? I remember reading her posts...

[dennisw]

What number is your Democrat party registration card?

[eskimo]

Am I a punk, too, because I have no respect for people craving attention and spewing falsities (or at least misperceptions) about the forum?

I might answer your question if you can tell us all what statements were "false" and how you know, for a fact, they were.

What is your new screen name?

[Coop]

Saying goodbye to friends you have had for the past six years does not constitute craving attention, sir. Further, doing so in a short, concise manner without ranting like so many others have done recently shows restraint, respect, and etiquette.

Horsefeathers. There's FReepmail for that. His Egoness felt the need for a separate thread, which ain't exactly concise and reeks of manure IMHO, and then pinged it to his list(s). It's craving attention and intentionally urinating on the forum which he supposedly loved for so long.

Godless libertarian. Does the shoe fit for you? A simple yes or no will suffice.

[Walkin Man]

Take care. I agree this site is no where near the place it once was.

[trussell]

You're right, it can be hazardous.

I hate to see these threads...we need the old timers to help us fight. We need to out the trolls, without ousting the new conservatives or the true conservatives who have just found us.

I was actually a democrat when I signed up. I came here because of a tragedy in my life...I was converted because I didn't come her to flame anyone. I listened (read) and found out that I was more suited to conservatism. I have voted straight ticket since.

Yes, these opus (opi?) are really an invitation to get flamed. Better if they were to freepmail their favorite freepers of their intent to leave.
I love FreeRepublic. I wouldn't leave. I just avoid or get off a thread that gets out of line (profanity, personal insults... or if I find myself being goaded into doing same).

[Constitution Day]

Ditto that.

[zeugma]

From looking at your posting history, it seems that you have a troll that has a crush on you or something. I can understand that making your experience somewhat less than enjoyable.

An Ignore switch should would be nice on FR.

BTTT!

Is Willie Green gone too?

[Fiddlstix]

....... In whose arms will I seek solace if Xena's Guy turns liberal?

I'll always be here for you........
(But, you'll have to share me with cyborg)

[1Old Pro]

Opus posts are lame. Ever since Willie Green declared his there has been a rash of them.

Willie's gone??? Sheesh, I didn't even notice.

[Burlem]

What "bugs" me more than the name callers is the fact that posts are deleted with no reason given. I was posting on one regarding lethal injection in executions is painful....I came back to it, only to get the message "Post has been deleted" why?
We can always ignore those that do not wish to discuss issues rationally.

The garbage, which has now appeared on three opi (opuses?) in recent weeks (coincidence? I think not), about the decline of civility on this forum. What a bunch of hooey. (Oh, my word, was I just engaging in the decline of civil discourse? My deepest apologies to all my FReeper brethren.)

Anyone who has been here more than a few months knows we have an occasional exodus (although I give GOPCap credit; he at least waited until the FReepathon was over) accompanied by chest-beating and ashed over the head. Then most of them come back, often under different screen names. And as far as the mood/civil discourse, this place is no different than the day I first stumbled upon it prior to the MFJ.

[freedomson]

The antisemitic poster I shall call, RottenEggs has made it her mission to ban me .

I stay on just to spite her.

[Coop]

No telling how many have left, made a big show of it, and then immediately signed up under a new screen name.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! :-D
