I’m OK with this website. I wish the tagline section was larger.

I never leave a place without giving thought to the next destination.

I would hope you have as good or better place in mind.

That’s my defense of Free Republic.

In fact that defense works for any decision.

It’s something like Red Guards, circa 1965 “Running dog capitalist hyena puppets!” though not as hyperbolic.

“well...bye” is offered in accordance with the highest and most cherished traditions of and at FR.

No exit ceremony is complete without it.

You really shouldn’t seek to find fault in its use.

To do so is Karen-like. Bad ju-ju.

I remember her.

I think *female* was in that name, but IIRC, you got the rest right.

I’m going to ask around. I know some FReepers who should remember her.

I’ve always been a thread killer. I wonder if it will happen this time.

It’s certainly a well-thought out opus. I am sure it wasn’t easy for you but it has clearly been in your heart for a while. God speed and God bless America.

Define “Anti-Semitism”. If it is being opposed to or hating Israel, then I dare say that most American Jews are Anti-Semitic.

There are a few dozen of these posters on here who have a very clear track record of posting their jew-hatred over and over again. Of course they will mask it under the cover of “I’m criticizing Israel, not Jews” ...

YOU are leaving because of a few dozen people? Please rethink this. We can either take them on or ignore them, but none of us should be driven away by ideas offensive to us. The solution to offensive speech is sane speech. Maybe take a few months off then come back...

“the failure of FR to address the rising and blatant antisemitism on here.”

Boomer Cons gotta Boom.

Maximum Liberty for all means Free Speech, Bruh.
The voice you hate is the one that needs protection.
Let all be heard, and let them reveal themselves for the evil they hold.
That’s how you fight it. Out in the open.

You can choose to turn it off, or ignore it.

Or face it head on, and realize half the posts are Tags from Posers.

The Israel haters I just chalk up to God blinding them. God’s word centers around Israel. They are the only country I would be willing to fund.

I agree with you—no updates. Where does all that money go?

I notice a lot of the breaking news is days old. I also notice that not many people post stories. It’s always the same ones. I would post news stories, but I don’t like having to run around in circles doing it. Make it as easy as every other site on the web.

Jaysin,

I hope you stay. There are incendiary leftwing trolls constantly patrolling FR and dropping bombs and saying ridiculous things to persuade good people to leave.

If you leave, they will celebrate another victory.

“I’ve been seeing “antisemitism” thrown around so much it’s well on the path to becoming as watered down and toothless as racism/racist.”

You’re correct. And now, where there is real, open, antisemitism, people think the real victims are crying wolf. Or use that as an excuse to ignore them.

I wonder if that was the real intent.

she is the one that had a lot of knowledge about China and told me China was perfectly capable and willing to kill off some of their population to genetically get rid of less desirable people in order to achieve world dominance.

The primary reason I am leaving is the failure of FR to address the rising and blatant antisemitism on here. Yes, a vast majority of freepers call them out and see right through it

You are not describing a concerning issue here. Sounds like the readership are paying attention and are on it.

Your reply was perfection. I’m laughing just thinking about it.

I’m jealous I didn’t think of it first.

If you think this site is free speech, you need to reread your constitution.

I don’t think she has posted for awhile. something like “blackarmysergeant” but that wasn’t it.


Are you talking about FReeper BlackFemaleArmyColonel??

She is well, and still posting.....

The scientist I remember conversing with, quite often, on the ChyNah virus threads was Black Agnes

She hasn’t posted since 2021...
