It Appears There Are Hijacked Freeper Accounts
3/1/15

Posted on 03/01/2015 2:25:18 AM PST by Enlightened1

I found three Freepers (in the last 24 hours that prior to a few days ago (10 days at the most) have not been active in a very long time...... At least a year and a half or more. The other two Freepers have no posts for 7 years and 3 years.

Now prior to that time gap all would have maybe 1 or 2 posts a years several years ago. Yet in the last few days they are posting a lot. I find that very odd?

I think these accounts have been hijacked by the opposition?

For those that are wondering what is an Internet Troll? Trolls, post a deliberately provocative message or messages to a newsgroup or message boards/threads with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument. This is done primarily by opposition groups.

I'm sure someone could figure out WHO is doing this. We just need to do a trace route on the account to see where it's coming from.

Here are some articles about it for anyone that does not know about this. Watch your 6 Freepers.

Trolls don’t care! LOL!

You’ve no idea how many times I’ve logged on only
to find that my account had been hijacked by some
belligerent blog-hating bunghole.

Brings me near to tears to see that sort of spew attributed to me.

Most times I just walk away in anguish without posting
any of the helpful and kind things I’d intended.

You should blog about it, and then post a 1-line excerpt to FR.

ey, I see you’re posting on other threads.

Since that poster doesn't know how to check and see how many posts people are making, I doubt if he/she knows that we can SEE where he/she is currently posting.

I know it, and You know it,
Not To Mess with the Inuit
Their wisdom is from Long ago
“Just don’t eat the yellow snow”

Viking Kittehs long ago
Came from the Land of the ice and Snow
And Taught the natives all they know.
“Just don’t go where the Huskies Go”

Mostly Irish, That I am,
Inuit, from a Mic Mac Clan
Since joining FR some years back
Now I’m a Mic Mac Paddy Whack!
All that's left is give the dog a bone
Then I'll be a rolling home.

To Montana that is and very soon,
Where I became a real tycoon
Little money in plain ole moss
that's why I'm raising dental floss.

Arriving on my trusty ole bronco
Wearing my Mexican poncho
Everyone knows I'm the head honcho All the ladies see me as so macho

A girl there named Dinah Moe Humm
Is for me the only one
Ready girl for here I come
Man I love that Dinah Moe Humm

So glad you came to play with me!
So I'll add this apostrophe '
I know it's better said than read,
So Here's a St. Alphosis Pancake on its head.

And if Zappa were alive today,
I wonder just what he would say
Would he consider this a Keeper?
I'll bet he's make a damn fine FReeper!

The Crowd here is so erudite,
And they make sure that you spell it right!
Who's that jiving with that Cosmic Debris?
Oh, Stewardess...That would be ME!
