This is a very important post; for every single one of us.
And this is not a joke and it is not wild speculation and it is not overreacting.
In the last months, due to things that have finally been noticed about FR AND due to new tactics being used by "the dark side," we have basically placed ourselves in the game; with each post, we have become, for all intents and purposes, "players."
Watch what you say out loud; I believe this is a fight to the death for this country; and we all know the depths they are willing to go to.
Vigilance.
(Please use your ping lists, if you have them; everybody on this forum needs to be alerted to this.)
Thanks, Laz; once again, you've narrowed down the pertinent facts for us.
I'm suspicious of Laz. I think this is a trap.
;)
George Allen ping for news we can all use.
Let's be careful out there. We face the forces of evil.
BTTT
Thanks for the ping, Howlin. Gonna go ahead and ping the One Ping to this, since it's such a huge pinglist and all. Sorry for any cross-pings, but this stuff's important.
Take note, folks!
Vengence is mine saith the Liberals-Vigilance is mine saith we upon whom they plot revenge.
I for one am serious as a heart attack about this subject,Howlin, as I am sure we all are, but even at Wakes, our sense of humor helps makes the pain bearable.
I kid Laz because he kids a lot himself, but I am as concerned as he, about the subject at hand.
bttt!
Hear, hear! We mist not, will not, lose.

Thanks for the post and pings. Very worthy of follow-up pings, I agree.
I'm pinging my General Interest, Texas and the Viking Kitty/ZOT list here.
Please check out Lazamataz's post here. Thanks.
And a thousand pardons for any of you already pinged to this thread.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
Thanks for this ping. Lately I've been seeing more and more "newbies" (mostly newbies) appearing at first to have a lot of conservative values--and then saying or doing things that make the whole forum look bad. There was a phoney UN scandal "article" (unsourced) recently, just for instance (and it never was sourced either).
The "rumors" (as mentioned in a recent WaPo story) were just part of the problem--things are said on here that you just have KNOW are being quoted elsewhere--that it reaches the network news is not good.
As a known curmudgeon and controversial poster, I know full well how important it is to protect your identity. I have received death threats from posters. In fact, this morning when I signed on, I got a freepmail from a disturbed person who tiptoed around threatening me.
There are dangerous people in the world, everywhere.
Thanks for the pings. I saw this thread earlier and will ping all of my lists here in a few minutes. Very important thread!
The only thing I would add to your list is that making stuff up is important to anonymity as well. For example, not even JimRob has a functional e-mail address for me. Another example - when storytelling, only use fictional names and places.
I hate to publicly admit to this tactic (which I employ), because it will make other Freepers (with whom I have a mutual trust factor) think I am dishonest. I would prefer not to use this approach, but learned early on (back to the non-Internet BBS days) never to be forthcoming on public forums. So, am I prominent? Am I female - as the screenname and persona imply? Who knows.....
Good idea, Laz. If I was intelligent I'd offer some input. ;-)
I'll read the thread to see what has already been suggested. If I come up with anything new I'll let you know.
FReepers untie....;-)
Brilliant assertation, from you, as usual.
And (IMHO, as well)absolutely correct.
We are in a war, and the Smash-Mouth Politics that the Clinton darkness usered in are still with us, and really worse than ever.
Be alert
( the world needs more 'lerts... )
...and stay safe.
Thanks for the ping. 100% agreement.
El pingo.
Ping.
