Vanity: Who is your Favorite Freeper?
self

Posted on 08/17/2009 6:10:52 PM PDT by Jean S

A thread with this title was posted about 10 years ago. The top choices were JohnHuang2 and kattracks (who sadly died of cancer a couple of years ago).

My current favorites are governsleastgovernsbest for posting his great commentaries from newsbusters here (this is NOT an ad). I also like RobinMasters, he finds great articles to post. Also, kudos to Cindy for her relentless research. And of course, Jim Robinson who makes this all possible.

This thread is dedicated to kattracks, a true friend of FR. May she rest in peace.

And to reiterate, this is not an attempt to collect a list of “Alpha Freepers” what ever the hell that means.
***The term was once the first thing defined in the lexicon, but batter removed it from the 2008 lexicon... I wonder why?

Who was the FReeper that posted those wacky stories like when he wanted to buy a pony for the neighbor girl or if it's okay for him curse in court because he got a speeding ticket? Something like that.

His name escapes me and he has since passed away a few years ago.

Those were some crazy stories/threads.

Hi Helen. For a moment there, I had you confused with Jean S.

At any rate, this looks like a good start towards developing that alpha Freeper list we were discussing...

Polarik is leaving FR

Kevmo to Helen
There are four posters on FR that I search for specifically. You are one of them.
***Who are the other 3? Polarik was definitely an alpha freeper, and I’ve seen a reference to an alpha freeper list. I would imagine that someone with your tenure would have the weight to determine who’s an alpha to start.

I would obviously include JimRob as an alpha. Then after that, Alamo Girl, Betty Boop, Buckhead, trixie, Tony Snowe (died), Duncan Hunter (and his son, Duncan Hunter Ambassador), doug from upland, Kristinn.

Secondary alphas might be some of those who maintain the better ping lists like pissant, slings and arrows, SunkenCiv, coleus.

What do you think?

Yes, Common Tator lost his battle with cancer this year. Big loss, I always enjoyed reading his in depth political analysis.
