Why was Free Republic off line -- Hacker Attack?

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."

Actually, metmom, we have contributed to, or posted to many of the same threads over a span of many years now.

Don't you remember all the hostility on the crevo-threads?

You even posted to me a time or two, and/or, I to you. We were basically on the same "side" of that long running debate, (but not entirely) and nothing like the other flames or baiting that went on there, passed between us.

In more recent times, we have posted on the same religion forum threads.

I've originated only a few "threads" personally, but have posted a couple of thousands of times on FR. I can't seem to find that place where one could find those particular statistics, but years ago, I seem to remember, it was then around 1,500 -1,700 (if memory serves). For you and others to not recognize me by now, says I don't know what. Save there is the aspect of my making no contributions for sporadic periods...simply for not having either time and/or internet access.

Look, I've been trying to be reasonable about all this, but there is an undercurrent here which uses even my doing that, as some form of evidence that I'm out to "get" you some how, or smear others here.

What kind of deal is that? A man cannot attempt to defend or explain against accusation, that is getting entirely out-of-hand, without it becoming some "proof" of ill intent???

What next? Shall I be thrown into water to see if I float?

If I sink, I'm innocent, but drowned.

You and others may feel as if you are free to do others dis-service, as retribution towards perceived slights. If it was only coming from you, then I'd be willing to go along with it graciously enough. But that's not what's happening...now.

If I hurt your feelings originally, then yes, I do apologize for that. But I'm done begging, being gracious. I've made public apology.

I'm willing to man up, and be accountable for my actions, my own deeds & words. But that does not equate to having to sit quietly for watching them twisted & turned into yet something else entirely. For any here to expect me to have to do so, is much more than they might require of themselves.

That may be a bit too much for the some of your lilliputian 'friends' to wrap their minds around. But I do hope you and some of your friends are suitably insulted. For you have all displayed small "mean" little mentalities.

That insult, is on purpose. Open, and in-your-face honest. I'm not afraid of "midgets".

So who are these individuals exactly and if you're "not afraid" of them, why dont you ping them if you are going to diss them?

Yeah, the gay one is gone (by “me”). The transgendered one by LJ was still there last I looked.

ST had a LOT of free time on *her* hands, I caught her claiming female in 08 or so, but her or his sheer volume is what led me to suspect multiple people using the account.

Throwing in a little legalese probably didn’t hurt either, but everyone who asked seemed to have their posts removed.

yours was tame, while I found it funny I would rather not have posts out there stating I am gay and transgendered. I don’t think that will bring Mormons over.

There are a few on other threads I suspect of being community accounts, again, based on the sheer volume of posts they produce when they claim to have a job and work for a living and care for their extended family.

Plus, a dramatic change in style of posts from one day to the next.

It’s either multiple persons using the account or a serious multiple personality disorder.

I wasn’t on that thread, and I tend to skip the homosexual agenda threads, although I did post on a couple a few years ago about my dad (died of AIDS).

I sent one abuse about the whole thread and gave my nick and it was gone.

I don’t think that will bring Mormons over.

Well...I don't know. I've know a few gay mormons in my life. Of both sexes..although not switcheroos.

I don’t think he was behind it.

He made a comment that was taken badly. He claims it was a joke (and could possibly be) but that is not how it was taken.

Not certainly something I would question his faith over although I haven’t dealt with him so I don’t know what his beliefs really are.

he outed himself to metmom in post 149, whatever his role, he’s not the little innocent he claims to be. And now he’s kind of threatening lilliputians and little people
