Just spoke with old friend, very senior retired USN skipper. Says his contacts, many of whom were his "boys," are concerned with how stupid the MSM and Americans are and at how the Internet has fueled rampant ignorance.

As I was calling him, he was calling me to call my military and IC friends to have a laugh and share some scotch to ease our aching heads.

Within less than 5 posts, the above KEYWORD list was seeded with these derisive, sabotaging types of keywords:

drunk, notbreakingnews, scotch, snootful, etc.

Brilliant. NOT.

Jerks.

Here is a picture from my last visit to Thailand! I'm series!

[brytlea]

I’m offended, it looks like you just cut and pasted. Lazy Laz....tsk tsk tsk...

[brytlea]

Well, I don’t post new things often. Are you saying people can add keywords to someone else’s OP?

[Lazamataz]

I'd hit it.

If I could find it.

Yes I’m angry.

I’m angry that at this crucial period, when the destruction of the Constitution is virtually complete . . .

when the beloved Republic for which we stand, under God . . . has been shredded already beyond recognition . . .

when the looming disasterous calamaties long planned are closer and closer on the near horizon . . .

when OThuga mysteriously takes 40 warships with him . . . or has 40 warships joining him . . . with 4000 people and 200 million hollow dollars a day spent . . . in behalf of his destructive efforts . . .

etc. etc. etc.

that FREEREPUBLIC

which OUGHT to be ONE OF THE MAIN AND BIGGEST GROUPS FOR FREEDOM, PATRIOTISM AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

is p*ssing the days away . . . ridiculing the facts;

derisively dismissing true patriots sounding factual alarms as being conspiracy loons

. . . when FR p*sses in its own shoes and on the heads of its own patriots for their doing a muffled job of their best patriotic duty . . .

its d*mned discouraging.

[Quix]

Yes I’m angry.

. . . when FR p*sses in its own shoes and on the heads of its own patriots for their doing even merely a cautious, muffled, weak job of their best patriotic duty . . .

[doing a normally FR quality job of such alerts and warnings can still result in bannings]

its d*mned discouraging.

When I came into this thread, the poster gave NO CLUE of what the other thread was. It just seemed to be a rant about how crazy FReepers were.

Yes, it was insulting to me. We investigate and take all information. Look at the first post here.

“Since there’s a 300+ thread for ignorance and tin-foil speculation, can we have this one for logic and reason? “

I don’t like being told that FReepers are ignorant and wear tin-foil hats. Do you?

((hug))

Perhaps the snide keyword abuse of placing

Thailand

was a hint that the poster was on drugs.

[Lazamataz]

Thighland?

[Quix]

Monty’s a trip.

Sigh.

[Lazamataz]

Yes I’m angry.

The thread has no real topic.

It's just a vanity rant without purpose.

Ergo: Thailand?

There was nothing wrong with the original thread. No need for a dupe. Sorry if the poster does not want to deal with opinions different from his.

I rarely publicly criticize, but I do take issue with someone using a thread as his own without giving credit to the original poster. It's just not right.

[Quix]

Yes.

And there’s stern warnings about using that option to trash an Original Post etc.

And the mods can tell who posted what new keywords.

Yet . . . often . . . IIRC, little is done unless some mod sensibilities are crossed. THEN something’s done.
