It was a serious point I was making and no, I am not whining as I stated clearly in my post. Some of you here take yourselves far, far to seriously and think nothing of passing judgment at the drop of a hat (or thread).

It's a forum, folks, it's for fun, and perhaps those of you here who believe the world exists to see your words ought to look into yourselves to try and discover what shortcomings and personal deficiencies exist within your lives that bring you to this conclusion.

Hail the mighty freeper for he can do no wrong. He is all seeing and all powerful. I'll give some of you one thing, you are a source of amusement but I wonder who much trouble it is to keep that halo shined?

You're the only one I see taking yourself far too seriously.

Projection.

As opposed to what you're doing?

Joe, either blast us as a good LPer would or continue your holier-than-thou innocent angel routine. But blending the two approaches just doesn't work.

We helped get a President impeached and Dan Rather fired. Plus we are days ahead of the MSM. It is fun but it's also series.

B-slapping you for whining is not a shortcoming or a personal deficiency (but it is fun)

Hail the mighty freeper for he can do no wrong. He is all seeing and all powerful.
I can and have done wrong. But that doesn't make me wrong this time.

I'll give some of you one thing, you are a source of amusement
Back at ya!

but I wonder who (sic) much trouble it is to keep that halo shined?
I send mine out.

Why thank you. I'm glad someone else finally recognized this about me. But please, next time remember that I'm a "she".

I think your characterization of Freepers is WAY OFF--I never, ever haved claimed a halo, nor do I act like I have one, I don't think...and I don't know many freepers that do...

I know a lot of freepers that readily admit mistakes and usually laugh at themselves when doing it...I laugh a whole lot more when on FR, than get angry...

BUT, if you want stimulating debate, this is a great place, but if you play by the rules, it is doubtful that you will get in trouble...

I don't think a lot of what you think is "preferential treatment" is that so much as the context of the post...I have found that sometimes, depending on the urgency of the thread, or the context of the thread, different things are allowed that might not be at other times...

Sure, there are "favorites and old-timers", that is natural and if you want to and play by the rules, and get a thicker skin, you too will prolly end up in that catagory some day, just like I hope to....

Joe, you've named your own affliction. Don't be so thin skinned. You said it yourself, "It's a forum, folks, it's for fun..."

Have a nice weekend.

To: JoeV1; All

Your banned posting came off like those we've heard of from Stormfront or other Nazi like sites. We want to reduce and stop illegal immigration, not murder a bunch of folks who are trying to make a life for themselves(albeit in an illegal fashion).

Self defense issues and the protection of Western civilization are other more complicated issues that may involve the use of force in a justifiable manner. For example if an illegal alien, in a US border town were to attack a farmer's wife, it would be justifiable to shoot this individual in self defense. For a freeper to post a picture with a nuclear cloud over the mid-east in connection with a posting on Islam's latest assault on western culture is an acknowldgement that we may have to fight other wars in the future to protect western culture.

What you did was to advocate a wanton slaughter of individuals who are unarmed and mostly ignorant but desperate. If you don't see the differance in what you posted versus some older posters' macro-political musings then you deserve to be banned!

***It's a forum, folks, it's for fun***

With your pants on fire before the 2nd post, I felt a little sorry for you that you showed your whiney butt so soon. But based on your commment above - don't think you belong here. Yeah, there's fun threads, but for the most part, you will not meet with a more serious forum. You probably should stick to your LAT, NYT, and WP forums for fun and fantasy.

PS: I've seen two year FR veterans telling six year vets that they didn't know what they were talking about. Life continued on for all.

Maybe it is just fun for you. A lot of us on the forum are genuine activists. This forum is a great place to network with other conservatives, share ideas, and cement action plans. Did you log in at all throughout the last election??? Then you know what I mean.

What we don't do is make plans along the lines of what you have advocated.

That's a big word salad.

Methinks you're taking yourself too seriously, cause we sure as hell ain't!
