I kind of agree,
but for a long time Freepers
with an agenda
all their own haven't
thought twice about hijacking
threads to vent their views.
I don't really care
where such people blow their stack
and bite the big one.
They can't all be swayed
into posting in this thread
where it's convenient . . .
And to think ... in the wee hours of last Tuesday morning, when I was jabbering with other posters on this thread about southern living and Alabama football ... I thought we were just borrowing the tail end of a dying thread.
Silly me. :-)
Of course I'm happy. But you can't see it EV because you're too close to it. A bully is a bully. Now, instead of liberals beating conservatives over the head on FR, Conservatives have stepped into their void and are beating fellow conservatives over the head but with a different stick.
Can you not see that, EV?
All sober inquirers after truth, ancient and modern, pagan and Christian, have declared that the happiness of man, as well as his dignity, consists in virtue.

Your homepage is a classic.
Well, let’s see, you seemingly have the inability to differentiate between guys dressing up as gals for humor (as Giuliani did), or guys dressing up as gals for some weird sexual reasons.
I mention “Some Like It Hot” (you know... MOVIE? Marilyn Monroe? Tony Curtis? Jack Lemmon?) and you SOMEHOW twist THAT comment and accuse me of thinking “homosexuality is hot”?
You’re not worth arguing with.
I particularly like this quote:
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
Reference: Legal Papers of John Adams, Wroth and Zobel, eds., vol. 3 (269) [Rex v. Wemms]
Reminds me of “Truth is not determined by majority vote”
.
Then stop giving the power to them by bumping this thread. I don’t agree with you that these are the new bullies, but if that’s the way you perceive it, it’s in your best interest to disperse this supposed crowd of bullies.
Unity is for leftists. Conservatives value the individual. Or used to.
You’ve already admitted that those who are gone are bullies. Let me ask you a question: Where were you the thousands of times those people were trying to bully me? Because I’m having a hard time remembering you coming to my defense.
Besides saying that that is a grossly ignorant comment, I don't really have much interest in talking to someone who thinks FReepers are a bunch of Maoists.
“How’s that for a straight answer?”
That’s a pretty lousy straight answer.
In fact, Rudy and Hillary ARE the current front-runners.
Of course, things may change. Insofar as Rudy is concerned, I can even join you in hoping that things WILL change...
But, if the election is between Rudy and Hillary - WHO WOULD YOU VOTE FOR?
A third party candidate? I consider that a wasted vote, and another vote that helps put Her HIghness in office... can we at least agree that that’s the WORST CASE SCENARIO?
I thought it wouldn’t last beyond Sunday Apr22. The thread I was on just prior to this had 3 people banned (like CeltJewLibertarian) and I thought that having a few freepers banned would get the message out. It didn’t. Well, now after this monster thread, the message is out but it’s still confusing some freepers who think it’s some kind of purge of idealogical purity. It’s not.
I don't want liberal bullies replaced by conservative bullies and that's what's happening. I thought once they were gone, rudy supporters, the bashing and bullying would end against conservatives but it hasn't. Conservatives have turned against conservatives now. Where will it end?
The owner has done an excellent job of clearing FR from rudybots who tear down conservatives to uplift their liberal rino.
At least, certainly not worth the effort you are expending.
It is worth the effort I'm expending. FR's worth the effort I'm expending.
Just out of idle curiosity, what is “the message”?
