Oh, they name call with “noob” because they can’t back up their conspiracy theories with a solid body of evidence. Name calling is all they got.

FR just isn’t what it used to be. Back in the old days, FReepers would sometimes get on a “noob’s” case because that person really was a troll from DU (with Viking Kitties soon to follow). They don’t seem to bother with us much anymore, though.

We’ve lost so many good FReepers who had been here for 15-20 years (who got tired of all the conspiracy nonsense and nastiness), it seems we’d want to welcome new ones. I’ve noticed several “noobs” who belong to the conspiracy crowd — makes sense, as there’s plenty of that on offer lately. But I’d never dream of calling them “noobs” because I disagree with them. That’s just childish.

And your people are never nasty? Have a gander at Post #96 here.

Look, I’m not a Q member, but I am vehemently against mandates and am very skeptical about the efficacy and reliability of these so-called vaccines. I also do not trust the motives behind the Democrats and their media arm pushing it so hard, even using bribes and threats.

There was already one Big Pharma salesman with a relatively recent signup date who was outed and banned not long ago. I don’t have the details, but this is one reason people are skeptical of those who seem to post an awful lot pushing the vax and deriding those of us who aren’t on onboard with it. Especially those who don’t seem to post about much else. (I’m not saying that’s you two because I haven’t really looked at your overall posting history.)

The pro-vaxxers here are far from being little paragons of virtue and are quick to insult and ridicule, Alinsky-style. I think we all know the saying about glass houses and throwing stones, do we not?

Back in the old days...

Haha. Did you really just say that with your December 2020 sig up date, noob?

What a strange internet it is.
