I think you owe me an apology for calling me a plant. How would you like it if i called you a Liberal plant. I havent been here long but I really love this board. I finally found a place to chat it up with fellow conservatives. If you read my post you will see the way I think and the way i feel about political issues. There are 2 things I am passionate about and thats my family and my political views and I dont bend on either one of them!
No, I didn't call you a plant. I reminded people that the tactic is all to clearly being carried out against FR and several other online communities that have been effective. We will know you by your deeds, not your claims of conservative "purity" or "passion."
Repeat, I did not call you a plant. I reminded people that they should be cautious in what they say in response to any post, in case the poster was trying to draw us into posting things that could be used against us. That is particularly true for a newbie poster like you, with a "lit match in the ammo bunker" alias like "Jesse Helms Jr." Why not call yourself "George Wallace the 3rd" or "young Adolf?" If you were a liberal plant, or agent provacateur, as I actually stated the issue, any of those 3 aliases would appeal equally to a sick sense of humor, as liberals view them all as equally evil. It's the kind of alias Michael Moore or Paul Begala might think was clever.
Now, if I had called you a plant I still wouldn't apologize. I am entitled to my opinion, just as you are. I am particularly entitled to warn other Freepers that they should be careful in what they post, just in case they are being suckered.
Bleeting like you have just posted does absolutely nothing to dispel any suspicions that anyone might harbor. In fact it smacks more of "thou dost protest too much." High dugeon and casting aspersions are futile and infantile tactics of someone who has no logic or fact to stand on. Take a deep breath and go with it. I haven't called you any names.... well, OK, I did call your tactics infantile. I take that back. Clueless. There, is that better? (ducking and running for cover... INCOMING) ;^>
My interest was not in casting aspersions on you but in reminding people to be careful, even if they absolutely know that you are genuine, they should not post things that can be lifted and used against us. Have you ever heard of Jerome R. Corsi? Look him up. Google is my friend.
I have not formed a judgement about you, yet. My judgement will have no more value than yours and would only be posted as another data point for others to use in forming their own opinions. I will watch what is said in posts by you to see how it pans out. I was a newbie not too long ago, too, and I haven't established any bona fides yet that anyone could "count on" on faith alone. I prefer to let the logic of my position, rather than the level of my outrage, speak for my credintials.
Again, though I have no standing on FR, I want to encourage to continue posting. If you are genuine then just think about the possible impact a given post might have if lifted by "the bad guys." If you're not genuine, you'll discover what a ZOT feels like soon enough. The BS detectors are incredibly well tuned hearabouts.
Then check out my tag line, and maybe you could lighten up a bit. If you take offense at the lightweight comments I made, you won't last long in any open community.
Man, am I a wordy SOB or what?
