Which question does my answer fit?
Potentially all of them, depending on your point of view.

Why do you keep asking these questions, when the answers are so obvious?
Because I don't think that the answers are obvious to some of the posters on this thread.

Why do you keep pretending not to know basic things that everyone here knows?
The only thing I supposedly "pretended" not to know is what an "anti-FReeper" is. A number of posters keep calling WideAwakes an "anti-FReeper" website without explaining what they mean by that. And I HONESTLY have never heard that phrase before this thread. I wasn't around here in the Clown Posse days.

And why are you annoying me?
How? By asking you questions? I don't intend to annoy you. I'm sorry if you've become annoyed.

Did I step on your toes sometime in the last couple years, and you think now is the time to get even?
No.

What is your problem?
The general incivility, profanity and personal attacks that have pervaded this thread and spilled over to others recently. It needs to stop. I'm not the only one calling for this. People should not feel afraid to fact check. Other than that, I don't have a problem.

“Why?” “Why?” “Why?” “Why?”

Enough of your silly questions, and false accusations. Your flame wars don’t work anymore. Didn’t you get the memo?

So...How do you explain Howlin?

The term “anti-freeper” has been around since probably 1999. Free Republic has always had disaffected members who went and started their own forum to compete with and/or bash Free Republic. These anti-freepers *usually* left on bad terms with the Boss or out of political differences. The vitriol has normally been pretty intense, so the term “anti-freeper” has worked pretty well to describe those who left in a huff. For as long as I’ve been here.
