An Interview with Scott Swett - Director of the Free Republic Network

....Advice given to me by a friendly poster many months ago:
"...Choose your friends well as you may be used by others to fight their battles for them"

Now, there you go again Meg (admit it, you are Meg Ryan, aren't you).

You have misquoted me. I said, "...Choose your friends well as you may be used by them to fight their battles for them"

And, I am not friendly; I'm just more handsome than the hoohahs.

For the record, I don't like anybody on this thread except Bob J and he thinks I'm an idjit!

Sew, howd I due? Lightened the moment? I hopes so.

[MEG33]

"Choose your friends well, because you're either being recruited or used to fight others' battles on this thread" ....was the actual quote. I cheated and paraphrased....and I wasn't quoting you!...LOL

Everytime I look in the mirror I am confronted with a face other than Meg Ryan's...sigh...

Anytime anyone confuses me with Meg R..my mood is lightened....;)

[MEG33]

That sounds like a very simple, reasonable request to me...Thank you for providing a forum for all of us.

I thank all who contribute to our knowledge, our cause...I have read Winter Soldier and checked out the links...excellent!...I have to refrain from revisiting the information about Kerry's anti war activities too often, lest my blood pressure go through the roof!

Anytime anyone confuses me with Meg R..my mood is lightened....;)

Okay; Meg Ryan is an All-American girl and that's how you write...overly fair and polite, so I needs to fill in the blanks:

Evening Star:

I agree that this type of frivilous banning does add fuel to the AFers' fire.

1. Sabertoot uses the same tactics that his clone, maggot lotf, and honeygrl clone, aligyrl used to constantly whine about FR finances, and Bob J because he was an insider and they (maggot and allgall) wanted to run the place along with mochajoke and other assorted jerks and pantwipes.

The 'toot gets his dander up like all the other drama queens, aka the anti-Freepers and farmwars' funkaholics and run around telling their buddies at the maggot infested hamster den and honeygrl's insipid gossip corner that he has been unfairly treated. Mayhap he should volunteer to check immigration cards somewhere along the Baja California border instead of going to a solemn ceremony for President Reagan and bitching about somebody trying to do others a favor. Maybe he carries a porta-potty around in his SUV. He should with all the bullcrap he spews.

2. Nobody needs to add anything to any fire to get the hamsters and the gossips chattering away about all of the injustices in the world. Since you have recently rejoined the fray, I'll give you a pass and allow how you probably have forgotten how utterly pointless it is to join anyone like the maggot and allgall and their assorted clones. Besides, since the maggot infested den is already infected with nickylicky's deviant background you probably need to stay clear of the porn the smartasses and their enablers are promoting. Thought y'all had rules agin it.

[MEG33]

Oh my goodness..I read the "houseguest" Fahey saga...The dangers of internet "appearances" being far, far different than reality are spelled out vividly!....

[No!]

Aren't you the guy who said he used to be an admiral?

WHY would a retired ADMIRAL care about such minutia?

BTW I believe it's called ForumWars, not that it's important to this thread nor any discussion I have seen on the thread before your odd post.

[harrowup]

No.

Don't know.

Farmwars Funkaholics is an anti-FReeper gossip dump whose members include the source of your stupid questions. That has everything to do with the flaming on this thread by those who constantly try to disparage some of the hard working folks who have a far greater tolerance for snippy little ankle biters like you.

If I knew who you were I might tell you to do what the V.P. told Pat Leahy, but then again if you hang with the antiFReepers then you would have more experience giving same sex lewinskys.

[No!]

Oh I see you were NOT an admiral, like it's said you claimed once, but are in fact a COMEDIAN!


It was a reasonable question given the absurdity of it all.
You fill me with dread with your biting wit.

[harrowup]

There is nothing lower than cowards like you, Golfmann, who jump from forum to forum playing to the freaks you admire whose only goal is to destroy what none of you can control, principally because you are viscious little twits.

[No!]

Thank you for your expert opinion, Admiral.

Just exactly WHY should I care what you think, and being at more than one forum (including my OWN) is supposed to be some kind of heresy or what?

How many forums have YOU been on? I seem to remember Reunion and your getting BANNED at edging Right, what else?

I don't consider Sabertooth and anti-Freeper by a long shot, nor am I.

I AM, however, anti-BLOWHARDS, like yourself, and I... find nothing more cowardly then your proven Walter Mitty posts over the years showing tremendous character problems.

[harrowup]

Thank you for your expert opinion, Admiral.

You can just call me Sir.

Misrepresentation and false accusations are part and parcel of your chosen gang, and when, through your ignorance and theirs you get something wrong you never hesitate from beating it to death hoping somewhere along the line one more brain dead partisan will believe it.

You do it with some of the folks here to absurd lengths and their tolerance for your presence boggles the mind. I admire their patience and fortitude in standing up to your unreasoned hate.

There are plenty of pluguglies on every forum on the internet and yet your gang insists on going after the folks who matter, and if you can't come up with something meaty you just call everyone else a kook and get your jollies. I don't know any kooks personally, and don't subscribe to the idea that someone with a different view is ignorant or deserving of ridicule. I do know envious little wretches like you and the hamsters who can't stand to see anything blossom without your blessing.

Your blessing would be the kiss of death to any reasoned man.

Just exactly WHY should I care what you think, and being at more than one forum (including my OWN) is supposed to be some kind of heresy or what?

You spend most of your time rephrasing what others say on other sites and heresy isn't the term I use to describe jerks who are afraid to use their established name.

How many forums have YOU been on? I seem to remember Reunion and your getting BANNED at edging Right, what else?

I try to join as many as I discover that might be used by twits like you who register with my screen name or some derivitive of it. I fight my battles on site now that the mochajokes of the internet have been excluded from FR and LP.

I don't consider Sabertooth and anti-Freeper by a long shot, nor am I.

You diminish this site by taking cheap shots at those you consider to be the source of amusement for your maggot infested hamster buddies. Both of you have personal agendas and disputes with individual posters or ideas, and when whacked for it go off site to get rewarded for your noble cause.

You both choose to belabour the point by incessant ranting and enjoy going off site to revive your incentives. Gossiping about other sites doesn't seem to be exactly a friendly way to act.

And, before you compare yourself to those of us who objected to the 'coven' off site, bear in mind who that coven was and is most representative of.

I AM, however, anti-BLOWHARDS, like yourself, and I... find nothing more cowardly then your proven Walter Mitty posts over the years showing tremendous character problems.

Aside from the obvious fact that you haven't a clue what a Walter Mitty character is actually about, you and your clones need to come up with better excuses for dramatizing your envy, jealousy and impotence.

That said, other than a derisive lol directed to Bob J, do you have anything to say regarding the interview, now that you've taken the time to criticize me for interjecting some level of coolant to the flames coming from 'toot and shoot?

[Sabertooth]

Wasn't one of the mods. I sent him to the box myself. I had warned and suspended him just a few days ago about his antifreeping activities on FR and promised him that he would get suspended again if he continues and each new suspension would be longer than the last. If he contines antifreeping when he gets back, he'll be suspended again.

Serious question: what is the definition of “antifreeping?”

I’ve made a fair effort follow the forum’s posting guidelines, yet I was suspended on the 11th of this month for a one-line wisecrack. Clearly, my transgression was covered by some protocol not included in the posting guidelines. Can you post that information, to help avoid future problems?

Free Republic Network has my total support and blessing. Attacks on FRN are attacks on FR. Those who wish to attack and or smear FR or FRN or our members can do it elsewhere. It's not welcome on this forum.

I stand corrected. I apparently was posting under a misimpression, as I had thought that FR and the FRN were essentially independent of each other. However, since they aren’t, then maybe this would be a good place to start defining what is and isn’t antifreeping. Obviously, all of what you described above would be considered antifreeping, but I have a few questions:

How far does the FRN’s umbrella of protection against antifreeping extend?

Is it considered an attack or a smear to refute an FRN member’s argument in a debate? Is that antifreeping?

If so, would it be possible to create some sort of visual identifier for the posts of FRN members, to preclude any possibility of inadvertently antifreeping them?

Is it considered antifreeping to attack or smear a regular member of FR?

If so, and if an FRN member attacks or smears an FR member, is that antifreeping?

I appreciate the opportunity to clear this up, so as to avoid any future antifreeping on my part.

Thanks for your time.

[Bob J]

[harrowup]

Let me butt in here, 'toot. I go back a ways so perhaps I can be of some help.

Your style of questionning reminds one of the deviant Z2 and his co-conspirator, aligyrl, both founding partners of the maggot club, aka, hamsters and HC4 (I don't know what HC4 stands for anymore). They would harass Badjoe and JR during fundraisers attempting to goad them into disclosing private information. Well, Badjoe is gone off on his own and you seem to have a problem with FRN and its management and use of the public highways.

That brings us to your dispute with Bob J and Nick Danger, who have some measure of responsibility for FRN.

Now, here is your first clue as to the definition of antiFReeping.

1. Bob J and Nick Danger are both FReepers. They both post at FR and it appears that you have a penchant for stalking them on these boards in order to both complain about their management of FRN and all other matters not otherwise under your control. That is the style of the antiFReeper. That is the style of the maggot, allgall, mochajoke, nickylicky and other assorted ribbon counter jumpers.

2. The second clue, 'toot, is that you run over to a welcome wagon set up at farmwars to get high fives for being a studly man who takes on the bad guys. Now that is odd for several reasons not the least of which is you have a record of finding welcome wagons to be beneath the dignity of ladies and gentlemen of your bearing, stature and grace. The other oddity is that farm wars is composed of mostly sour and pickled non-entities who never managed to get their way running everyone else's website so they sit back and throw dust up to see if it floats. Now, that is antiFReeping.

The answers you seek have been given, but like most spoiled brats you want more and then some more. You enjoy needling the powers that be and you take comfort in the support of a collection of the internet's least appealing posters most of whom are categorically border line psychotics and unquestionable sociopaths with just a little megalomanical comic relief from time to time.

You, in short, are surrounded by misfits and misfires. Now, JR may respond to you; I hope he doesn't bother. I hope you can learn some lessons from your too brief exile. That lesson is that if you want to play with the big dogs, then you best remember that they ain't neutered and you ain't their guardian. If you can't learn to play in someone else's sandbox with any measure of politeness (that is the sincere kind, not the smarmy bilge you express) then you need to pick up your broken toys and soiled diapers and get your mommies at farmwars funkaholics to give you a big hug, because you are not going to be rewarded here for being a boring little pest.

I-T:

Good going. Keep it up.
