Are you going to make me read back through 350 posts or will you be a nice guy and summarize this thread? C'mon, dubs, be a buddy! ;)

[#3Fan]

Exactly. lol Good thing we don't burn accused witches anymore.

Gullible how?

After what FR has gone through with certain "ladies" I'll admit I totally expected it.

Chicks is trouble. Chicks is always trouble.

[potlatch]

I feel bad now.

Don't feel bad. If she had gone on some program and mentioned she was a Freeper, and her past reputation was revealed it could have reflected badly on this forum.

I can just see it now, a friend says,"I just saw a representitive of your forum on TV and then I heard she is 'this, that, and the other thing'. What KIND of forum is it?"!!!

Chicks is trouble. Chicks is always trouble.

Somehow this doesn't sound like a complaint.

I was in Las Vegas last weekend and a woman asked me about politics. I tried to defer saying that when I go to see a band I try to enjoy the music and put everything happening outside out of my mind. I did eventually talk to her briefly and learned that she is a conservative living in southern California feeling very much like there are no other conservatives around her (actually she acknowledged that an Asian man with her group is conservative as well).

I gave her the FR website address and my handle. I know that some people can appear brash at times so I told her to let me know when she joined up if anyone tried to call her a "troll". She saw the website name and wasn't quite sure what it was all about (although she listens to Laura Ingram at times and Laura is familiar with FReepers).

I also advised her to just look around awhile before posting just to get up to speed with the site.

I agree that there are people who don't know what Free Republic is about and some things could be more offputting than positive.

It's true, just look at some of the other websites, you read through their threads and it boggles your mind to realize people think like that! Birds of a feather, and all that.

Her record, from the links, was so bad that I wouldn't want her representing me. I have the vague unease, that IF she were trying to change her life, we put roadblocks in her way, but JimRob HAS to protect his site!

I AGREE

What do you expect? You're dealing with the same crowd that made the Lynch threads almost 2,000 posts?

[#3Fan]

Yeah, you're right. Lynch, the Kobe Bryant alleged victim, and this case. There seems to be a lot of jealousy and long-term frustrations being displayed toward young women perceived to be attractive here. I can understand the Free Republic management being concerned about members past and other activities, but the mob mentality by everyone else is disturbing and it reminds me of the other cases I just mentioned. Irrational attacks and piling on.

[Vigilantcitizen]

I agree with y'all, I think she got hosed.

Lord knows if I put some things out of my past, especially my bar hopping days, I would be run out of here in shame too.

[#3Fan]

I know what you mean. lol
