The Wall is one place to look, the vast expanses of the internet is another.
Where have all The FReepers gone?
Long time in passing.
Where have all the FReepers gone..
Lonnnng time a'passin'
Everybody comes and goes,
The World spins NO one knows,
Where have the FReepers gone,
Gone to Heaven. Everyone..
Except for those still mround..
Where have you gone?
Yes we have. I will wonder to my end BCM’s last moments trying to save all those people in the North Tower.
I know. And our FRiend on flight 93.
HOw are you and how is life treating you and family?
I used to hang out here a lot, and posted semi-frequently. There was a lot of sharp thinking and analysis, with arguments used to hone conservative ideas against one another. Ideas were challenged, defended and came out stronger because of it. Some were ardent social conservatives, others hard core objectivist libertarians, and others pragmatic policy people, but the stew made something greater for all that.
But, slowly, there developed a Freep Orthodoxy, with wolfpacks of enforcers attacking any mild disagreement and, punctuated by the occasional mass purge, most of the interesting people left, got banned or drifted away into silence. FR became an echo chamber, with no heterodoxy tolerated.
Occasionally, like right now, I’ll check in to see what has aggregated on a particular breaking issue, but it is now only to see the various news. The commentary these days rarely has anything to add to the discussion besides another chorus from the choir.
Sad, really.
BTW, my first post here was in reply to one of Laz’s. To this day, I remember his thoughtful analysis of the extent and limits of the 2nd Amendment. Thanks Laz!
You nailed it. It’s why I stopped writing Publius Essays.
Yeah ya did. Foresight is little understood but frequently accurate.
Be comfortable and pass in peace my FRiend.
Hello
OK, and yourself?
Ping
I recognized your Mr. Magoo screenname, Petruchio!
I wonder what had happened to you.
You did us all a wonderful service by starting the Freeper Memorial Wall(for you newer Freepers, go to FR’s home page and scroll all the way to the bottom.)
I am sorry to hear about your battle with cancer. It is no stranger to my family.
I have prayed for relief to be granted to you.
God bless you. Hope you will comment more often.
Ping, snugs, a.k.a chick from England.
Prayers for you. ((hugs))
I’m still here..
Afternoon ma’am..
Hi, there, buddy. Hope you and Izzy are well.
It was both irritating and entertaining.
I miss Tom Servo.
I also miss AR_15 Patriot.
Good, the children have flown the coop and I am well.
My son is working road construction and has graduated from paving to dirt and is running a big excavator and loving it.
I am well and learning to live the empty nest.
Very true.
One of my earliest major realizations, after escaping the Democrat Mind Control Plantation, was that the left and right in America had switched positions.
It's the left who are now the ruling establishment, while the right has become the rebels against the status quo.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sheesh, I only vaguely remember that handle. Ain't seen it. Maybe he rode off into the sunset.
