I think you misinterpreted the thrust of the comments made at WA. The poster indicated that they, the members of WA, should stop posting stuff at FR and instead post them at WA instead. I have no problem with that and hope most of them continue to visit, post and comment on FR as well. On the other hand we know that some who members of both WA & FR are still posting here on this and other threads and mixing it up with other Freepers who support the stated goals of FR.

Here is another WA comment on the same post I described in my original posting at FR. For clarity I will include the original WA post as well. At the end I post another WA comment that well describes the underlying issue I am concerned about. I regret that I am unable to ping the poster of that last comment as his/her account has been banned or suspended.

People, we need to get over the FR site and start posting articles and commenting. We have to help WA grow. I know it's hard to find interesting articles because the MSM is treating all Republican candidates with a big yawn, but we need things to discuss besides FR which is getting old quickly.

Hi Merry, I think a big part of it is that people need to vent a bit about what happened and circumstances that brought them here, and it usually involves TOS. Some have just arrived here and others have been here a few days or weeks. It's a relief to see old friends on threads and natural to want to touch on what occurred there. That said, I think as new posters settle in and learn their way around, they'll see that the Salt River area and chat are the best places to discuss TOS.

Yes, it can be hard to find good news articles. An alternative would be to post threads with opinion pieces by favorite columnists. I'm pretty computer challenged and never posted a thread on another site but found it quite easy to do so here.

But apparently MadIvan can change how the title appears in the listing, which is good!

Hi Miss Marple! I'm so proud--I just got the formal boot from the trailer park site!

EAGLE'S TALON (aka PSYCHO-FREEP) & aligncare

Playing with the pseudo-ping list.

It appears the brown shirts are beginning to obsess about WAves. As the thinning continues apace, the grand irony is that ToS itself has become the ultimate anti-FR site. Just when you think it can't become any more absurd, JR has weighed in on as to the question of whether or not one must be a Christian in order to be a Conservative. Ay carumba!, yet another litmus test, defined not by popular consent within a framework of limited government, but by some weird cabal of Taliban.

This is worthy of a doctoral dissertation unto itself; the demise of an institution via voluntary forum-cide

Sssssh...the walls have ears.

I would suggest taking this conversation to the discussion called "FR" on salt river...

Regards, gpapa

Why are you pinging me to this? I already read it last night, and read it in the original form at wideawakes.net.

There is no doubt that some people there are a tad bitter over being banned from a site they contributed to, and were welcomed on, for many years.

I am there because I like MadIvan, and because I want to talk to people I can no longer talk to here. If that is setting you off, well, I am sorry but that's the way it is.

You guys are totally obsessed with that website. Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is? If you don’t like the Rudy threads don’t go on them please.

Did you ever think that maybe that site would not have ever been in existence if the stupid purging didn’t go on? Do you know that the FR purge was all over the internet? How embarrassing is that? Things are starting to calm down here a bit I hope. You are not helping it though. AND BY THE WAY - ITS CALLED FREEDOM! Marvelous thing isn’t it?
