Just Damn.
Why did he leave FreeRepublic?
Why did he leave FR?
I saw that too, but his recent postings don't indicate that, and we're sans Opus to date.
Mike King Show? C'mon Mike say ain't so!!!!
Thank you
Mike left out the best part. Anyone know what he'll be doing now?
Very sad if true, the BC list needs to be carried on.
I didn't correspond much with MHKing but I always enjoyed reading his posts and his Just Damn threads. A real pity indeed. FR has lost one of its more valuable contributors. The Stormfronters and other fanatics of their racist ilk have finally had their way. All I can say is JUST DAMN.
Sometimes I wonder...
Posting on FR has been a landmark thing for me. As time goes by, though, I wonder sometimes whether FR is changing or whether it's just me.
It seems constantly to be more and more full of trolls and idiots like rmmcdaniell who are more interested in picking a bar fight than in discussing anything. More and more, I find myself simply not posting a worthwhile response to something I read from any random poster because it seems more probable that they'll just respond with mindless insults. It seems like it's almost impossible anymore to find any disagreement between two posters on anything without a mountain of flaming anymore.
I know that I've grown less tolerant of it and less willing to waste time firing back, but it's hard to tell if FR hasn't gotten worse too.
I'm glad to hear from you, indirectly. Best wishes for your heart and your mind in the next great project you undertake. You will be missed here. Many, including me, respect your judgments and your contributions.
Be well. Do well. Achieve well. And on occasion, tell us how you're doing.
Cordially,
Congressman Billybob
Wish you guys would come back, you are an asset here.
I saw alot of the racist stuff and really hoped it wouldn't drive you guys away. Growing up in a river town in the country's methamphetamine capital, I know well that low brow mentality is not particular to any one race.
The people here who tried to push that crap simply because of what happened in NO have been in their safe little suburbs for too long. Of course, if they really looked around they might realize that their little paradises aren't so sweet after all. And the burbs are usually quite white.
Absurd.
Sad. I was on a thread about a week ago and I lamented to rdb3 that there actually are racist sounding, long time Freepers.
Come back guys!
I appreciate all the accolades (though I personally don't think I deserve 'em), but I ain't dead yet...
Did you originally post this in chat, or was it moved here to keep the kerfuffle a little less visible?
Mike, I've always enjoyed your insights and posts. Please reconsider!!! Don't let the bad apples here on FR spoiler the rest of us good ones!
Just Damn
Oh this is a shame!
And why did he leave FR?
Sounds like he has some type of contract that he will be exclusive to.
