Posted on 01/05/2011 8:11:05 PM PST by Racehorse

Discussed among friends in Central Texas concerning a prayer request.

Attempts to post to FreeRepublic failed, "server not found."

Well, beyond the sin of a poorly thought-out reputational smear attempt (emphasis on attempt) --
--of which I will readily forgive & move on w/out ever mentioning this incident again --
--if the instigating party simply freepmails me
--which I'll keep 100% confidential
--Besides wanting to simply bathe the act in the blood of Jesus & move on
--'Tis all a wash, anyway...

What do I mean?

Well, I s'pose it's fitting that if this...
...Pretense of an online newspaper...
...Is going to employ the pretense of a columnist named West...
...Then 'tis only fitting ya have pretense readers...
...Making pretense comments!

The person(s) who made those posts is an AF [anti-freeper] and the one that used my screen name is a long time enemy of mine, but I have so many it’s hard to narrow it down...LOL. non-squiter came to mind because he’s a recent ban and he was maaaaad at me, LJ and at those of you all on that ZOT thread. For all I know, he might have been on the Mormon threads too?

When I go to the forum it doesn’t show a summary of the topic, but the last comment on that thread. Is that happening to others? It’s hard to determine the topic when you only see the latest post.
Is FR still fighting to get back 100%? What happened? Hardware? Software? Hacker attack?

DJ: *None of us knows BD*

1000s: well there you go

That someone thought they felt free to make a *joke* like that about someone they don't even know just doesn't ring true.

I would have to be a LOT more familiar with someone than I am with BD, who I don't ever recall conversing with, and yet expected me to know him well enough, to take a *joke* like that from him. From a perfect stranger? No.

In post 149 BD says,...."Actually, I thought you knew me better than that by now. "

No. Knew you better than what or who? I never heard of you before post 99 when you pinged Jim to something of that nature that I allegedly said. Bringing Jim into it like that was your big mistake.. That's what screams *set up*. It's not like it was lj or someone I would understand if she said *Look at what "you" posted over there*, which I doubt she would even joke about in the first place.

Your presumption that you knew me well enough or that I knew you well enough to understand that you were just *joking*, was an epic fail.

Like I said, you made your bed. Lie in it.

There's too much in that whole event which just does NOT fit in with the *It was only a joke* claim. It fits in better with the *Oops, it didn't fly and I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar* instead.

Your excuses look more like bail out and blame shifting than anything.

I’m a little confused why they had Wagglebee making a comment on that thread. I dont remember him or her ever posting on mormon threads, but maybe? If not, who’s mad at him

To: 1000 silverlings; tpanther

Yeah. Someone started a *metman* account. That was funny and blindingly obvious. It got the zot pretty quickly.

Then one of them signed up as *Hospice Nurse* in mockery of tpanther. Hospice nurse recently got the zot. A well deserved one at that.

I am sure that devnet was a retread and I know RWP opened a second account cause I saw him and PH (or CG) discussing on DC one day. BTW, rwp is back.....

Go figure.

The common connector is that we were on Jim’s thread about “If you support the homosexual agenda on FR, You’ll get the Zot”.

Soliton is suspected of having multiple accounts.

He was a piece of work.

wagglebee holds the *Moral Absolutes* ping list with lj and we are all VERY pro-life. A number of trolls, who his threads seem to attract like the proverbial bug zapper, have been banned as a result of those posts.

It’s small wonder it hasn’t happened with him and lj before this.

Back when I was more active in the Canteen threads and we still had Tonk and MHKing, we had a repeat troll show up to post the ‘tubgirl’ image, repeatedly.
He took to aping handles in an effort to get people banned, especially those that caught him repeatedly.
He especially went after posters who were black or were friends with same.
This reminds me of that cretin.
