“What would you know about a forum “like this”, having just signed up? Maybe you’re accustomed to hanging out at scum infested places like YouTube, where 90% of the posters can’t assemble proper grammar or spelling to save their lives. Around here, you thank the poster for the spelling tip, and appreciate the fact that you’re among a higher quality of Americans.”

Dont let the start date fool you. I have been reading this forum since KKKlinton was elected. In that time I dont remember ever seeing anyone thank someone for spelling “tips”, especially during a disagreement. If you can provide an example of such I’d like to see it. Forums “like this” are for informal commentary and discussion so its understood that rules of spelling and grammar are relaxed.
If I was new here I would not appreciate your comment regarding hanging out in “scum infested places”. Is that a good way to welcome someone new to this forum? No, thats a message I would expect to receive from a loud mouth jerk on some low class site. And while on the topic of Noobs, I notice the first thing someone does when losing an argument is to check the person’s sign up date and call them a noob. As if a recent sign in date makes a point less valid. It’s just stupid.

Correction- Should have said since KKKlinton was President.

You don't say. I think I'll stick with Jim Robinson's interpretation of what Free Republic is, if you don't mind.

I'll thank you not to come in here and attempt to demote this community to some lesser standard to which you may be accustomed.

If you've been reading here as long as you claim, then you wouldn't have stepped in it with Las Vegas Ron like you did, and would already know that you're on virtual probation here.

Tell you another thing, friend. No one buys the claim that you've been lurking here for twelve years. The only people who watch this place without participating for that long, are political/gov't operatives. You might want to reconsider using that as a bragging point.
