Recently, two Freepers who have some measure of prominance outside the forum have been damaged by liberals and/or Democrats. Jeff Gannon has resigned as a White House reporter, and the individual who goes by the name NCPAC has left his position in Maryland.
J. Gannon wasn't necessarily damaged by anything he posted here, but NCPAC was damaged by the work of a Democrat mole or a Washington Post reporter who revealed his freepmails.
It should be possible to post on this forum with anonymity and to be able to really discuss what's on your mind without worrying about Democrats trying to ruin your professional life, so, in order to help prominent Republicans who may wish to be an active member of Free Republic, I'm formulating some suggestions that I would like to have new users see.
This is what I have so far, as far as guidelines to help our prominent freepers avoid damage in the future:
If You Are A High-Profile Individual In Real Life
.
If your daily job is such that you are a high-profile individual as example, an official in a Republican campaign, or a state official in a Republican administration, or a rightward-leaning reporter please read this article and take these suggestions.
- Please dont reveal your identity. Please dont drop hints as to who you are. Please dont succumb to the temptation to show off a little and thusly compromise your anonymity.
- Know that there are Democrat operatives (and now, it appears, Legacy Media reporters) who pretend to be loyal conservatives. They will attempt to get you to reveal damaging information about your candidate, your administration, or your media enterprise.
- This is for ALL Freepers: Never reveal any personal contact information. Please dont post (or share in Freepmail) any email accounts, private phone numbers, addresses, or places of employment unless you really know and trust the person to whom you are revealing these things.
- Know that Freepmail can be, and sometimes is, exposed publicly. Please, never say anything in Freepmail that you would not want posted on the public forum. Please, people, add whatever you think might be helpful, and I will post the result as a new article.

What about when people present information, and are then challenged by a freeper to prove their statement...we can't just go around saying stuff, without proof, can we?Well look, since I am Karl Rove, it's important to understand that I'm usually right. By the way, did you know Dubya wears womens underwear to bed?
Damn. I think I violated some of these guidelines.

Ya know what it is like for me?
A big family sitting around the dining room table after a big meal discussing life, events and beliefs. It feels warm, comfy, safe. We squabble, kvetch, grouse, etc. But for the most part, we all get along like an extended family.
The problem is, we all forget the walls are glass and the whole world can look in on us at will.
Now THAT gives me pause!

If you have a family and a career and you work for a large company that might be influenced by political pressure you could be excused for not being so brave.
I certainly wouldn't resign because a few pouty woutys have a problem with me.
Now, that being said you have to stand for something and when worst comes to worst, you have hopefully raised your family in a manner that they would stand with you.
I also understand the problem alot of people might have just not wanting the issue and therefore hiding themselves. Well if you have to do that then do it, but if somebody finds out who you are, don't be a coward.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, and win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by defeat, then to take rank with those poor souls who live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
If you don't mean it, don't say it, if you mean it then say it, and if you do say it stand by it. let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. Overall, don't be a coward.

How about: "Do not do in the dark what you would fear to be exposed in the light?"
Anyone who did a quick check of my posts could ID me easily, if they cared to. My philosophy is "don't read what I write if you don't want to know what I think." I do understand that people more prominent than me have to worry about political hit jobs, though.

Networking is fine. But perhaps there might be an invitation-only forum for people who are trusted freepers where networking can be done privately?'Trust' is a sticky wicket. The only real trust has to be by personal contact.
As to the problems of these fellows, they played and splayed. Tough tomatoes. We can't all be Toad Brenda Fairy.
