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.
Thank you.
