I haven't finished read the entire thread yet, just parts of it, so I don't know if this was mentioned or not. I've heard reports of the attacks, but I haven't seen them, which is fine by me, since it sounds like something I do not want to see.

This person is a freeper.

Or an ex-freeper. Probably an ex-donor who felt he was screwed in some way.

I suspect it's either a militant Clown (And I'll admit laughing at Deano and the rest of them going nuts over a message board.) or a LF'er who was at FR a long time before a ban. One that either wants to paint FR as racist in an attempt to destroy or weaken them politically, or a racist who was once banned from FR who wants revenge. I doubt it's a DU'er, Kossack, or anyone like that. They'd probably attack Bush or DeLay, or rant. The most vicious fighting is more internal than ideological. I highly expect it's an anti-freeper of some sort. If it was some punk kid or DU'er, it would have been over a long time ago.

It's all a form of internal (or office type) politics and all the cliques that go along with it. It's something I can't really explain except those who have been through it know exactly what it is. I can't understand why the Clowns and others are so wrapped up in the office politics over a website, but it's obvious how bitter they are over there. Many of them want to destroy FR.

The reason I say that is I've been through my own office politics. The nastiest political fight I've ever been in was with a group I was once "activist of the year"(and also PAC treasurer). We almost took each other to court later that same year (me for "tortous interference" or "misrepresentation", them for libel) when this one group went under new leadership and sold out their principles to a bunch of union goons which destroyed the organization.

If JimRob ever boots me from FR or if I decide to leave it, I'll just walk away. No opus, no anti-freeping, no Clowning, none of that, it would just be parting company. To me it's a website and message board. There's no membership fees here, only donations. It's not a 501C3 org or anything like that. If I'm going to go after someone for an internal politics reasons, it better be worth my time and/or money. Going after FR, the anti-fr groups, DU, or Kos would be a waste of my time.

For some, FR is an obsession when they leave this board. I don't know why, but it is.

My first thought too.

Anything to make FR look bad. Who knows?

It could be Pete Peters Jr but that is so obvious that I'm skeptical. I think that is the point to sully FR.
