From my inbox: Shutting down FR's support - extortion attempt

Hello Jim,

Since you've done what you've done to another reporter of mine when others seem to be allowed to post back to their blog or sites viablogger section, I've taken the liberty to gathering information about your website.

1. I've determined the need for all that money a month is invalid. I run a major website, and do not need that much.

2. You seem to be running the show, not a major building with staff.

3. Donations like this should be going elsewhere, needed, not into YOUR pockets.

4. I am having a press release written on FR, urging citizens to stop wasting their money on you, and to donate for a better cause, elsewhere.

5. I will not stop, unless the price is right. Yes, this is a bribe, because I will not screw you over had you not screwed me over. But it can change with swift talks.

6. You are not a true AMERICA LOVER.

7. Have a nice day, expect your vendors to pull out soon and your donations frozen.

Reads like satire. I don’t buy it for a second.

Watch his FR statement on video here and see if you think this is a guy capable of satire. Your skepticism is healthy, but in this case we have a delusional, mentally ill borderline personality who appears ready to go fully psycho.

If Kevin Martin doesn't like the way things are done here he doesn't have to participate.

I know without a doubt that Free Republic is making a positive contribution to American liberty. The information we share here is spread thoughout the world.

We've got your back Jim, tell Kevin Martin to go to Hell!

How about a nice funnel cake? Then this guy can re-use the tinfoil plate to make himself a nice little hat.

On the computer I’m on now, because I do a lot of testing, I have Norton, AVG, and Malwarebytes, and all three went nuts when I hit that site.

IT IS always a temptation to crazy webmaster,
To call upon a neighbour and to say:
“We threatened you last night - we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Insane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ’em the Insane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Insane!

[snip]

“We never pay any one Insane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost,
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the website that plays it is lost!”

If you go to his website it is a bloated piece of shit.

He must have took some kid, who was playing with crayons and outsource writing the code.

I don’t even know what his for shit web is about.

I started off slow and I took a quick look at it’s source code. Lame O!

The closest this guy came to the subject of weather was probably a one night pass to the Jr. Division of Weather underground on some university campus just to get a date with some whacked out hottie Mao/Obama devote.

Can you say, “Frigid”? I knew you could.

I’m thinking she hung him upside down by his own leotard in front of a keyboard and is forcing him to write 495 threatening emails to Conservatives before she’ll cut him down.

“When I hear the Free Republic LLC. has donated 50% of it to a better cause, I will retract the statement. Till then, I am on the phone with a group of entities to see exactly what can be done about these donations coming in from obviously brainwashed people.”

"I've determined the need for all that money a month is invalid. I run a major website, and do not need that much."

According to Alexa.com:

freerepublic.com ranks at 1067 in U.S traffic.
SCWXA.org ranks at 236,726 in U.S. traffic. Yeah, real major there.
