Why is everyone fighting?
I'm leaving soon, Peach. I know I told you I was going to hang in there and I know most people around here could give a hoot, but this place sucks anymore. I'm surprised onyx hasn't called me a troll since we haven't been in agreement lately, even though "ya'll" have known me since I joined 3 years ago.
I can't believe how posters (like do not dub me shapka broham) got ganged up on and kicked at today. It's like everyone wants to stand in a circle around a disagreeing FReeper and point at them and laugh. And then laugh more and say things like 'that poster is ZOT!' Not exactly mature and graceful. Yes, I am a sensitive person and do tend to take things personally.
And yes. Mineral Man, Larry Lucido, Petronski, and Pukin Dog: arasina WILL be writing an opus but it will surely be ZOTTED upon entry so you won't be able to read all my dreadfully exciting farewell words.
Insert arasina's signature smiley-----> :o)
Oh gee, arasina, who have I called a troll?
Better read the posts again.
Poor you. I personally don't give a rip if you opus or not.
Nice try too -- I did not gang up on Do not dub me shapka broham at all! You are sorely mistaken with that accusation. Heck, I even asked him to watch my back "all in fun" of course.
You're really PATHETIC to try to single me out and you couldn't be more WRONG if you tried.
I for one will be truly sorry to see you go.
Why is it always the clever ones?
Oh, arasina - I do so hope you don't leave the forum.
We're going through a periodic self adjustment period and, I think, the Democrats discovered this place and are following the dictates from a memo they wrote some time ago to disrupt conservative sites.
So we have disruptors pretending to be conservatives and stirring up trouble. We have DU'ers coming here. And then there are just the malcontents who will never be happy.
And they get us all fighting each other and it's ridiculous.
We should be working together and if there is a lot of fighting and it upsets you, as it does me, just stay away from those threads where it's so prevalent. I do hope you reconsider, arasina. Peach
"Sucks" depends on your expectations. Maybe you set them too high.
Lighten up a bit - have fun. Play mind games with posters. Read threads for what they are worth without feeling compelled to participate.
I made a quantum leap in happiness when I decided to view the US Senate (as well as the rest of the government) as a circus. FR is a sideshow to that.
Sure, it's all amenable to serious analysis and observation - and it's worthy of that. But the outcome is beyond your control, so you might as well use your head and have some fun!
The only thing more silly and childish than an "opus" is the promise (or possibly threat?!) that one is going to write an opus. This is an internet forum for pete's sake. Just stop clicking on www.freerepublic.com. It's that easy.
