It's great and much needed to be tough and alert to dispupters, don't get me wrong. I just hate to see anyone accused falsely....... especially only because they are new posters.
BTW, I know a couple of brilliant REPUBLICAN science professors from Carnegie Mellon University who were intimidated off here when they first began posting years ago because a few "cops" decided to harass them. That's not so good for this excellent site. These guys were brilliant men who didn't need the bull from people who perhaps possessed half their worth and wisdom.
FR could have used their genius and conservative views.
Be well!
disrupters
:-)
Professors who got scared away from a debate with FReepers???
I'll try to say this 'nicely'.
I find that hard to believe.
"hard to believe" it, who cares!
Perhaps I should not have used the word "intimidated" when speaking of the good doctors. It would have been more accurate to say that they just didn't need to be jerked around by inferiors. There was no intimidation, but the end result is the same -- FR loses good member posters. Great result, eh? Believe THAT.
Well, thanks for putting us in our place.
It might be informative to see our bad behavior so that we might not make the same mistake again.
All you need to do is post the user names of said professors and I could find it myself.
I wasn't talking about you in particular. Those events were about four years ago.
Your complaints about possible "trolls" and disrupters, I have always noticed, have been amazingly right on the button. As you said last night to someone, after years of observation you can "smell" them.
Be well ............. and man/woman the polls please!
LOL! Maybe it was you then!
I gotta go now, Im soaking my 81 (9x9) white raisins for election night! Nine raisins for each point G.W. wins by.
Hopefully ............God, hopefully!
Sounds like good advice. Thanks. (although, I'd rather have my raisins soaked in beer)
