I will honor your wishes.
Ah, so now the anarcho-faeries are obediently and obeisantly bowing down to the fascists who are only out to stomp on everyone's neck, eh? Are you sure your name isn't Todd?
With all due respect, I used my real name on this thread in the prompting box for author. As a longtime critic of scoundrels like ELFers and ALFers, I deeply believe one must be accountable for their words and actions.
I put my name to this because I have been taught many valuable things over the years by Free Republic and the good people on it. One of them was to be more responsible for my actions and to own my words.
My intentions should be to solely lay forth my opinions and fears with the cross hairs on the goal of making this forum better. I believe there are very real problems inherent with the way FR does business.
But my strongest desire is to see dialog and work to resolve them and to heal the forum in anyway possible.
It would be high tragedy for FR to sink and die, and I deeply hope that it matures and evolves into an entity that is here on line a hundred years from now in a country still strong, a Republic, with democracy it well serves. I question the ethics and actions of management and some of the most strident of informal leaders among FReepers; but I have no right to think of myself better than they or anyone else; of I commit a personal breach of ethics far worse than anything I believe anyone else here has committed.
