Discussed among friends in Central Texas concerning a prayer request.
Attempts to post to FreeRepublic failed, "server not found."
Canned condensed soup, yuck. I’ll skip right to the recipes! Thanks!
LOL.
I’m pretty sure it’s non-squiter or one of the trolls at Liberty Post. Those idiots still follow FR.
Recently banned and I was glad to see him go. I made a *small deal* out of it and I usually don’t say squat. He was a troll that flew under the radar for ages. We had a *small* history.
You’re welcome. :-)
Thanks, OO, it does help. lol.
Then there must be more of them, because I have never heard on non-sequiter or had run ins with him.
You mean Free Republic is on the internet now? When did that happen?
I’m sure there are others, but like I said, I have never been on an anti-Mormon thread, or Mormon threads and that’s the site’s function...pro-Mormon and I do not frequent the religion forum at all, so there was no reason at all for my screen name to appear on that site. I had never heard of that Gary West. Never knew he was a former member here.
I'm with you. I don't believe him either and am not even going to ask for his pardon.
I've seen too much of that kind of tactic before to not be HIGHLY suspicious of it.
And the *It was just a joke......* Is a bunch of well,.... horsehockey, if you ask me.
And BD, since you don't get the playground bully comment, let me spell it out for you.
Some bully at school or in the neighborhood, does something typically spiteful to try to hurt people and when he's called on it, the first, knee jerk reaction is *It was just a joke. You guys aren't any fun. You can't take a joke.*
It tries to turn the blame for the failure of the joke back on the intended recipients and makes the bully looks like the poor misunderstood and persecuted victim himself, while everyone else is the mean guy.
Then he can walk away, feeling smug and self-righteous over the whole incident which HE started, when it backfired on him and he got caught red-handed.
It gives the bully a sense of superiority and righteousness while the bully goes off to lick his wounds.
If BD was serious about alerting people to what is being posted on that hate site and the potential ramifications to FReepers in good name, he could have posted the link and pinged EVERYBODY else misrepresented there. It could have been portrayed it in a whole different way instead of implying to JR that I was doing something like that when FR was down when the post was two days old at that point. Such as *Look at this, guys. I thought you might be interested in seeing what is being done in your names over there to smear you. Just a heads up.*
Since this thread had nothing to do with mormonism, it was a completely inappropriate place to put this other than the fact that it was intended to be a hit piece.
Thank you. It really was all quite simple.
Someone quite obviously phonied up a "JimRob", then later other FR names appeared, some of them by legitimate posters. Well, at least one of them, but perhaps not one that was earlier in this thread mentioned. (I'm not stipulating who, so that I don't need to ping them to this mess)
At first, I thought the other FR "handles" were themselves mocking the amateurish stab at Jim, since there was an ongoing thread here, with a link at the heading of the thread, leading to that page.
Otherwise, getting back to some of trouble FR has had staying online at times (the subject heading of this thread), these last two times coincided with slated "live" appearances here of Duncan Hunter.
It's probably best to not read too much into coincidences.
Though at the same time, it does make me wonder if there isn't someone out there, sort-of near enough to the server, or with insider knowledge, that will occasionally disrupt or target those servers in some way, due to the timing of the events in which the outages seem to occur.
Yet, on the simple sanity, non-conspiratorial side of things, I do know of another "service provider" who had fairly regular outages, on an ongoing, long term basis. Some systems are are known to be glitchy, I take it. The FR servers seem stable enough, in comparison to one set I used to be routed through for email.
It was indeed an intended hit. There was no joke or sarc tag. Nothing.
Exactly. When I see the words “Mormon” or “Joseph Smith” my eyes glaze over for a moment and go on to the next comment/article.
I think I’ll go there from now on when FR is down. I’m not good with a lot of other formats since I’m so used to FR.
But at least I’m already registered there with my own name! No multiple personalities over there.
:-)
oh, btw, the fake you is the one that ‘outed’ me as being ‘transgendered’ on that site. LOL.
Just wanted to give you a heads up
The common thread here seems to be Jim’s homosexual agenda zot thread. The one where NS bites it.
I only saw the fake lj on the FR Yahoo backup site.
Freepmail me a link just I know where this place is, okay?

Do a search on both of our nicks.
Since I complained the comment attributed to me was removed. I suggest everyone do the same. I checked twice and don’t see it.
Listen, it's like I told you. I backtracked the thread by doing a FR search of YOUR name. I could not recall the title of the thread. You were posting on that thread, the 'anti-Mormon purge thingy' the guy was so bitter about. I assumed you knew about was going on at that Mormon page, since you were on a thread discussing it.
The fake posting had to do with FR outages...don't you get it? That was the connection.
If I can't even apologize without being called a bully or worse, then I don't know what.
Please, don't let your emotions lead you into reading more into all of this than was intended, or planned.
