Why I'm Leaving Free Republic
PcTech

Posted on 04/10/2009 6:10:22 PM PDT by pctech

I am leaving Free Republic. After I post this message I will not come back and most likely ask the moderator to remove my account.

You may ask why. Today I posted a copy of a letter I received from an anti-terrorism officer in the United States Air Force. It was received through official channels but was not classified or top secret and I was granted permission to share it. It was an article concerning the possibility of a terrorist attack on American soil and it was pulled because, and I quote "Proven incorrect on snopes."

This is one time I am disagreeing with the moderator and his/her decision to pull the thread. This information was verified through official military channels and was supposed to help warn us to the imminent danger our country is in.

Instead, the moderator exercised, I felt, a lapse in judgment when he (or she) pulled the article that is in need of being disseminated. And this isn't the first time this has been done by moderators on Free Republic. While Free Republic has stood for conservative and GOP values it has also neglected it's responsibility to see that the information of the type I tried to share gets out. Instead they say it can't be verified and could be wild speculation (though I told them it was verified through official military channels) and pulled it even though I asked them not to.

So, I am saying goodbye. It was fun and I will treasure the friends I have made here on FR. Good luck to you all.

“You may ask why.”

Hadn’t really thought about it.

Did you double-check against truthorfiction.com? It could be that you were handed disinformation in order to throw you off the scent of something they wanted to keep secret. Just my speculation.

That’s a very scary post. Goodbye, and I hope you’ll come back when it’s safe.

I understand the frustration. I've had posts pulled with no explanation other than “under review”. I would hang in there, though. Free republic is bigger and better than one dumb or misguided moderator.

I don’t know why the mods would rely on Snopes with its demonstrated liberal bias.

snopes?

snopes.com is owned by a flaming Liberal, is in the tank for Hussein & has about as much credibility as a screen door on a submarine! LMAO

Doesn’t seem like much of a reason, but take care and keep fighting the good fight.
