Hey Quix, youare and always have been a loony. Now scram before they beam
you up.
Having been at the raw end of the odd poster fka Quix, I am happy he left. I ping the Catholic Caucus for comments and possibly other opinions.
Since you asked....
Quix was nice to me. He acted like a gentleman when he spoke to me in FReepmail.
God Bless all of us.
I feel badly as I am too easily drawn in to the hatefests, pro and con, over mitt, whom i actually do hate as much as obie, but it spills over into the personal. And for that I am guilty and apologize. It's not the Christian thing to do.
The anti-Mormon thing is uncalled for. They're generally the nicest people I've met. Nothing at all like muslims. My beef with obie and mitt is purely political.
I don't know what the answer is. I think most folks here agree in tearing down the won, but I don't know how one can bridge the gap between one side making the practical decision to vote mitt to get rid of the muslim and the other side who has been stabbed in the back one too many times by RINOs.
It's an election year, so how can Conservatives rightly bring up the won's failings without bringing up mitt? Expediency vs Principle. I don't see compromise between either camp.
Personally I'd rather people stay on, and to that end I will try to tone it down for my part.
As far as the fallen angels/UFOs - on a scale from 1 to 10 I would have to say that it sure is.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Hey Quix, younarses,
I agree with you. There’ve been times where I really felt sorry for the guy, but I am glad he’s gone.
Wow.
Well, Narses, since you pinged me..
If I made a list of everyone I've encountered on FR who posted anti-Catholic stuff on FR, Quix would be pretty far down on my list as far as what I deem to be inflammatory statements. I pretty much skip the religion wars on FR, but assume they are alive and well.
I think in terms of the religious flames, Catholics are considered somewhat respectable these days compared to the strafing I've seen directed at another denomination, and certainly not contained to the religion forum or Smoky Backroom
I am a member of TBL, and I post under the same name I do here.I joined TBL because it allows me to stay in touch with posters I know from FR who got zotted here, or who find all the anti-LDS stuff offensive, and over the top.Some of those posters are from my home state, some are Catholics, some are just friends.
I avoid the TOS forum at TBL, just as I avoid the "Ride the Lightning" high five feeding frenzy stuff over here.
Things got pretty nasty over here during the Primaries. I was a Perry supporter, fwiw.
Anyway, I'm never really glad to see anyone get zotted, or maligned, or called names whether it's here or at TBL, or Lucianne's, or any other online forum.
Besides the froot loop comments on this thread I also find the calls for zotting anyone who posts at both TBL and here off putting since I would hope we still can enjoy freedom of association with whom we wish, and still be respectful of others at all times, and all places. I know some long time FReepers who have supported this site's mission both financially, and during Freeper events who do feel pain and/or hurt by the change in atmosphere here.I miss all the great Freepers we've lost to death over the years. I hate losing any long timers to zotsville.
I would be remiss if I did not say that when I've asked JR's permission to run a "Freeper needs help" thread, he has always been generous and supportive of me-whether it was help for a Freeper who lost her home in a terrible flood, or on another occasion when a Freeper's son went missing in the mountains after his car went off a cliff, and help with the search was needed. Freepers responded in both those instances with such caring and compassion. There was such a sense of family.
It was the same sense of family we all enjoyed eating Mexican Food together when Orvil was still alive, or more recently at the Alamo during TPX visits.
During the 2000 election debacle, as Freepers (and the world) waited for the outcome of the election, we were all galvanized. Weekends were spent protesting at the State Capital. Even out of state Freepers came to join. I remember Jeff Head came from Idaho, and he and his dog marched here. Now, Jeff's an object of derision by some. It saddens me.
Okay, narses, you pinged me for my comments, and opinion, and that's my two cents worth..a really long two cents worth.
