You can maybe make your stock here go up a few points if you tell us who and where, specifically, you have heard this garbage about Free Republic....something we can verify???
I am especially tired of the posters who say ..well, some Freepers say.... then go on to slam an anonymous group.
I wish they'd either complain directly to the offender ( that's called taking responsibility), hit abuse, or shut up; and it sounds like you would too.
