Vanity thread- Just wanted to see if anyone has noticed a sudden influx of new trolls on FR over the past few days. I logged on this morning to find 2 very hateful emails about some comments I made back BEFORE the election, calling me RACIST (how they love to use that word), and accusing me of hate speech and ordering me to burn in hell for my comments and beliefs.
I cannot recall this person's screen name, but he CLAIMED to be a professional white male who is "normally" conservative. (yeah right).
I couldn't even get angry and was even "mildly amused" and filled with slight pity for this useful idiot Obamatron who has been "assimilated" and is simply now spreading the "gospel of Obama."
Oh, this person has been a member of FR since YESTERDAY! That says it all.
We should not use the terms that the left has applied to us.
What does “racist” mean?
I will refuse to use it. If I see a couple arabs acting suspicious around something, I will act. If I see a couple blacks “taking inventory” in a white neighborhood, I will act.
Its not racist - its just street wise.
Thank you for bringing humor into it. If we take all this too seriously, we will destroy ourselves.
I hope we can both agree that FR is the best site on the internet and that I have to be more precise in my typing.
Methinks you have posted some controversial stuff during your time, in the past, as well...
Cheers!
That's my situation with my family in a nutshell.
I'm right with ya, FRiend! :0)
The more pictures I see of Gibbs, the more convinced I am he is Dilbert.
On that I disagree. I did not give liberals a soundbite they can use.
I typed the post in the voice of a liberal and did not note that. That was my mistake.
Of course, I am sure I have engaged in controversial discussions here....but that is what FR is for. To discuss, sometimes heatedly, the issues of the day.
I logged on this morning to find 2 very hateful emails about some comments I made back BEFORE the election,
I’m assuming you meant “Freep Mails”. If it was emails via the net do you have any idea how he got your email addy? Also strange he was reviewing threads/comments you made back before the election......
You may be right. I got an message on another forum calling me a despicable person for not respecting Obama. This from a person who called Sarah Palin a ‘c*nt’, slut, and whore. My reply was a beautiful thing, trust me.
Well, this *is* a Hate Site!
-I hate socialism
-I hate Communism
-I hate gun grabbers
-I hate Jihadis
-I hate those who would enslave us.
Being a paleocon and far from orthodox in my spirituality there are things not on my list of ‘hate’ that others could add to, but hate site? I sure as the hell hope so.
I’ve studied the ‘holy hand grenades’ on both FR and DU; as you point out it is interesting to see longtime ‘deep cover’ trolls lob one, although not everyone who broaches the subjects is a troll; ideologues, on both sides may hold many views in common with the forum but disagree on specific issues (being a highly non interventionist ‘paleocon’ I know when to don asbestos suit or just STFU- most of the time)
On DU guns (there is a large and frustrated contingent of gun owners and RKBA supporters who spend much time fighting with gun grabbers) ‘Porn’ (watch the libertines vs the femninazis) the ‘true liberal” status of various Democratic leaders can all consume a lot of electrons generating heat but not light.
On FR the Catholic vs Protestant schism always has potential to fester, the ‘free traders/NAFTA crowd vs protectionists (with immigration and H1B visas being concomitants), and those leaning highly libertarian vs those who view the function of the government to promulgate and enforce Judeo-Christian morality are all points wherein it takes merely a shove to cause a ruckus.
Since no one has, or ever will, appoint me a moderator I try to avoid attacks on people and positions; still singed for merely defending the character and politics of the Mormons I’ve personally known:-)
I have long suspected that some posters who make absurdly dire predictions are trolls trying to distract people from more relevant issues. Others are simply drama queens with a conservative persuasion. It can be tough to make that distinction.
I do not see many trolls here who are capable of disrupting a thread. Neither have I received abusive e-mails. Let’s stay on top of this issue without getting paranoid.
Bunch of white boys shucking and jiving while BO is out of the room. Did you hear the one about...
I am a “secret sleeper agent-man”.
I believe that was “Henry” who was the nut-case with Rush.
Oops, sorry, you already had his name.
Must learn to read, carefully.
The trolls we have always with us.
Your profile page is empty, too. Since 2006, I might add.
