You said — “I found this article (which just happened to be written by a Freeper) to be informative and highly useful. Please remember that Freepers have a great deal of talent.”
If it’s an “article” — then where is the link to the original publication? If it’s not on any publication, then why is it any better of a statement than my drunk neighbor may tell me when he’s been downing a few beers?
Very simply, it’s easy enough to comment on *other news articles* and put in this information without any trouble. You go to something that is in the same area as you’re commenting on, post that article and either agree with it or disagree with it — and add your own information in there.
If this guy is qualified enough to write an “article” — then I would say either get a website and start a blog and post so that others can comment on it and either criticize it (with facts and details) or affirm it (with facts and details, likewise). Then we can refer to that “blog” as something that is recognized as a “kook site” (not worth a darn) or a good resource (worthwhile to keep referring to).
From some of the “quality” of information that gets posted here on Free Republic (by FReepers), some of it is crazy and I sure wouldn’t depend upon it for anything (even if others are good...).
Then SHUT UP and go find it..
Geez ... woke up on the wrong side of your Prayer Rug this morning??

are you going to go into every single post and harass every single poster?
You can either take it or leave it. I personlly don't give a rip. But I have been a Freeper since June of 1998 and have posted 170 threads. And I will continue to post political and other informative news for Freepers.
