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.

Mods have done a few things I didn’t care for, but it’s better to work with them than against them.

Everybody has a bad hair day once in a while!

Too thin skinned for today’s politics, that’s for sure.

Your account is still active
Maybe he has to wait until the moderator who deleted his initial post comes back on duty.

Dang. Over three hours and I beat the self-ZOT. Hang in there dude, all is not lost. Remember, we are Americans and we can and will survive anything that may come our way. We have a strong sense of self-preservation. And thanks for your good intentions.

Grow up. I’ve had posts deleted that were true because there was no news out yet. Only to have it appear later.

I was banned for three days for abusing news posts.

Get over it.

How old are you 12?

Forget the 47 pages. All you need to do is change your tag to “bye Mom”.

Not sure “GOP Values” is something we want to stand for, but good luck.

This is my first Opus.

It wasn’t very good.

He just needs to have snopes.com say he doesn’t exist.

OK...but debunked as an internet wacko "forward". If you have a problem with that, good riddance. <<We know you're watching.......!

I posted a copy of a death threats blog entry (quoted it) and provided the link to it. My post/thread was almost immediately removed. (The threat did have bad words in it).

I’m still here and posting pctech.

We don’t own FR; we are all part of FR.

Something to think about.

Hey kid—repost it on Monday.

Weekend moderators are the cruelest.
