“What I’m LEAST interested in is participating in a forum that descends into an echo chamber because a very small group of FReepers decides to bully those who dare stray an inch from the party line.”

Well if you’re new, you’re forgiven. But I’m pretty sure you were here, so that you’re selective memory seems to forget that many of these trollish Rudybots were the bullies - mass attacks on anybody who dared go against them.

Well if you’re new, you’re forgiven. But I’m pretty sure you were here, so that you’re selective memory seems to forget that many of these trollish Rudybots were the bullies - mass attacks on anybody who dared go against them.

Prolific posters from 1998 may be Rudybots, but they're certainly not trolls if they've managed to stick around here for that long. As I understand it, before the purge began, any "mass attack" by Rudybots was countered by mass attacks by a small minority of Rudy-haters. Because of the purge, the mass attack by the small minority of Rudy-haters on anyone deemed impure by them continues, now unchecked.

This has created an atmosphere of fear - don't correct any misstatements or half-truths about Rudy, lest you be jumped. When you think about it, turning this website into an echo chamber is even not in the most rabid Rudy-haters' interest - spread incorrect information once, and few will believe you when you tell the truth later.

I've said it before and will say it again - please think before you post. The Free Republic posting page even says it - Loose lips sink ships. No profanity. No personal attacks.
