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 don’t reveal your identity. Please don’t drop hints as to who you are. Please don’t 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 don’t 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.

So, if I've already said enough such that you could figure me out, what do I do? Start over???
5. Never play Leap Frog with a Unicorn while naked...
Laz has "mush" covered - you had it right the first time!
Perhaps.
Some it also comes down to the System Administrator's firewall and server patch level.
Despite attention to security, computers can be compromised, too Server logs could provide our adapter addresses and our subscription information has our personal email address.
Jim, we are trusting you on this one!

Excellent!
I ran an anti spyware program on my home pc and found 4 spy programs and 1 keystroke logger on my machine.
Sadly, you points shouldn't need to be said. I will just add a Pearl of Wisdom my mother stressed to me when I was growing up.
Don't Ever, even in a private diary, write Anything you do not want the world to read. Once it is written, you cannot control who might, at some time, see it.
I took her advice to heart, and still live by that maxim.
Especially in this age of email,
Especially in this age of democrats out of control, in more ways than one!
Good point. We should ping existing freepers we know who are prominent.
Irrelevant and not useful. You can be a child molesting rapist and if you are liberal politically, you get a free pass. The best example is ted kennedy who at a minimum should be in jail for vehicular manslaughter, plus leaving the scene of an accident.
My screen name kinda says it all! LOL
Hey that is my tagline, minus the while naked part anyway.
Can someone hack your freepmail?
