It was, finally, a positive untainted thread. Something to celebrate. As a community. Ah, but don't you know, sooner or later one of these immigration cockroaches show up and start poisoning the well. What else is new?
Great, longtime Freepers afraid to come here because the anti Bush monkeys have been bullying everybody left and right. With Mexican scare.
If that's the forum the owners of FR want ... that's what they have. A small number of malcontents gargling liver bile and spitting it all over their living room. To no political purpose of objective. Just to spit bile. Day after day. After day. Anti-Bush bile.
It didn't take long for those jerks to take over the Pickering thread and drive those folks back into hiding.
I want to know that these negative bullies are paying the same amount I KNOW that the other long time Freepers have paid year after year to support this place. It's only fair. That's the concept behind the cover charge. If the usual suspects are going to be working their usual dismal agendas, I want to make sure they're paid in full.
It won't happen, don't worry. 30% of the good folk will continue to finance this place so that 70% of the assholes can run roughshod over them.
