What Makes a FReeper a FReeper?
FR | 8-21-07 | Bob J

Posted on 08/21/2007 9:43:30 AM PDT by Bob J

I often wondered what exactly makes a FReeper a FReeper? Is it the simple act of reading articles on FR? Do you have to post articles or replies? To call yourself a FReeper do you need to engage in effective activism like writing letters to politicians, getting out in the street to carry signs, or, is being a FReeper an attitude. If so, what attitude is that?

Knock yourself out.

Heheh, you know what that means...you’re “on their lists” now.

Welcome to the club.

Yeah, whenever I post to the D&C Forum, it's like I'm attracting the attention of a pack of rabid chihuahuas! :-)

If there’s a second Hugh mistake, it could get Series. It’s not that often that you get to post a double whammy like yours. Good FReeping.

Have you been banned or suspended at least once?

You can’t be a real FReeper unless you’ve spent time in “time-out”.

IIRC, there was a contest to see what logo or image should be put on the mugs.

This Guy had a suggestion; I think they decided on another image...

Ash...

Would you believe I recently found an old text file on my PC containing a rebuttal to Ash that I penned - but never sent?

Those were the days when FR was still the “white water files” link on Drudge...

What Makes a FReeper a FReeper?

That you don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off an ‘ole Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim

There are lots of good responses on this thread, but I think this summarization of the words of a well known FReeper (Freeper#1) is a good enough explanation for me.

Freepers: "Independent, grass-roots conservatives on the web. Working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And always having fun doing it. Hoo-yah!"

Well, the ability to converse in a usually intelligent, civil manner (usually) is one trait, as opposed to:
