New Mormon anti-freeper site and campaign to bankrupt FR
rumor mill | March 29, 2009 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 03/29/2009 2:35:03 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

I understand there is a new anti-freeper site started by disgruntled former and present Mormon FReepers and it is their intention of bankrupting FR during the coming Freepathon by withholding their donations and disrupting our activities. Well, all I can say is, if they feel that badly against FR, by all means they should withhold their donations and drop out of FR. But it they attempt to disrupt our operations I will guarantee they will no longer be members of FR. If that is their wish, so be it.

I'm not going to try to defend FR from their claims of religious persecution, but I will say that Mormons have and always have had free reign to post their threads on FR just as all other religious groups have enjoyed. Free Republic defends the right to freedom of religion and has always welcomed religious discussion and always will. And Mormons have always been welcome here. I have absolutely nothing against Mormons.

If you are one who has left or is leaving, I wish you well, but disruption of FR is not welcome and will not be tolerated.

And this is not the first time such activity has been attempted by groups of disgruntled former FReepers. Good luck with that. There is always some group that feels FR should be bent to their way of thinking and end up saying my way or the highway. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not changing so I guess it's the highway. Is it Feb 8 yet?

God bless.

No thanks. If you find specifics and verification, be sure to let me know.

Sadly I am not. They threw Conservatism under the bus in their support for Romney, so self interest is not surprising...

There were notable exceptions, and those Mormons have shown their support and have my thanks.

Found it.

To: Religion Moderator Fine. And you as a moderator should put an end to all of this anti-Mormon bigotry that develops from the mere mention of Romney’s faith. There are many here who take this kind of thing very “personally.” The tax-exempt and poorly-funded FR appears to foster hate speech in which “Mormons” continuously are accused of things they do not believe and have no connection to. The fact that I am by no means a minority of one is worthy of your notice, as is the fact that FR’s behavior is of interest to other conservative cyber-, print, and broadcast media. My advice to FR is to not continue the process of waking a sleeping tiger. I can walk away from all of this if I choose, or if I am “banned,” but the FR already and irretrievablly has fired the first round in an engagement in which it will not prevail I haven’t the time or the inclination to wage war with a dying blog, but there exist many others who do and have the capability of making FR’s unpleasant encounters with the NY and LA Times trivial by comparison. No threat here, but, instead, some useful information that you surely were not aware of. An apology from the ownership of the FR and a more even-handed application and enforcement of its own stated policies — e.g. religious “flame-fests” being diverted to the Religion forum — seems in order... 257 posted on 10/04/2007 10:33:30 AM MDT by tracer

Apparently not all my posts, you didn’t I didn’t post my view opposing what SPAM was doing, in fact, I didn’t post to this thread at all.

Since you guys are following me around, it would just be good to have what I said given in context, both MAD and SPAM. Now there’s a thought...

You guys have fun now. Since you obviously want me banned, then more power to ya.

It is wrong for someone to lie to support anything.

Now show where people are lying and we have something to work with....

Pardon the dumb question, but how does he know the IP addresses of Freepers?

fproy2222 cannot possibly be restornu.

fproy2222 exhibits the ability to write properly and restornu does not.

For years.

I think Fred is trying to accuse Greg West of being an “Anti-Mormon” Freeper who created an Pro-Mormon-Anti Free-Republic site as a means of embarrassing Mormon Freepers.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

No, Fred is looking for help in overcoming the few here at FR who do not care if they have there facts correct.

You can disagree with our teachings, but it is not nice the way some make up thing we do not teach and then use that lie as proof we are wrong.

Pretty imaginative for a guy who can’t do HTML and who can’t diagram a sentence.

Thank you.

Thanks for finding it, though I must say “Meh”. pretty vague, IMO. And he specifically says “no threat here”.

But this was a response to the thread. Where was the threat that led to the thread? I certainly don’t see SPAM being a threat.

Whatever, I have to leave. Enjoy.

That’s an empty threat. Critizing and disputing religion is pretty well litigated since the Scientology cases.

The scientologists only hook was they copyrighted their “sacred” texts and some websites published them, in violation of copyright. That worked until someone attached the alleged improper texts on the back of a motion to dismiss and made the texts public record.

“Where was the threat that led to the thread.”

There was no “threat.” Just one fed-up Mormon exercising his own First Amendment rights.

But this thread has had its desired effect.
