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.
These are just the angry buchanan patsies crawling back out of the wood work to vent their anger and frustration. They aren't worth getting worked up over.
Not to be contrary, but it goes both ways. Thoughtful posters like *reasoned* exchange. I avoid posting to busy threads, and reserve my thoughtful (and cited/researched) replies as I see fit.
Obviously, vitriol from any side is detrimental to FR.

You're a good man (but stay away from the lap dancers). So is GWB. And as I told JimRob in one of my earliest visits, he is too. That, more than anything else makes me anxious to cast my ballot for GWB again this fall. The three of you try your darndest to do what is right. But the sincerity in your words regarding FReeper immigration makes you understand the sincerity in the keyboards of those who have concerns over illegal immigration, no?
This whole exercise leaves me wondering how JimRob can reconcile opposition to amnesty with opposition to your suggestion, but I'm glad he's given me the opportunity to discuss it, and I thank you for raising the cover charge idea.
Hey that's what FR is all about. Ya know some look through their live through rose colored glasses and some see it though a different set. Glass is full or not so full...Please don't confuse those who want a debate on the MEXICAN issue to those who don't contribute here.
