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."

Not really. Or if he is, he's most certainly not as "midgety" as yourself.

Why, go ahead and declare yourself 'chief of midgets'!

Hey, I'd back the claim for you, any day. Just ping me if I'm needed.

you know bd - been watching you squiggle and squirm about you posting of the commentary on the slime site’s west column. You think the hijacking of freeper names, then the posting of disgusting remarks funny? And why ping mm? You’ve not provided anything that passes the stink test.

Kind of threatening? But whatever do you mean, my fine little midgety friend? Threaten with what? that I may insult you, in turn, as you have I? why, the horror of it! how not-so-christian of me. I should just lay here and take the abuse from the tiny pin-pricks your tiny little gardening tools inflict upon me.

So did I. My RM fiancee decided he was gay 6 weeks before the temple wedding.

At least it was BEFORE, instead of after.

I saw that comment after I posted mine.

Tacky and disturbing.

Hey! Got my power cord for my computer, so I am now able to post at lightning speed again, replete with grammatical and spelling errr’s.

Yeah, I remember the crevo threads, and I know 1000 silverlings does, too. I remember seeing HIM post on them occasionally, but not you.

One or two posts on the crevo threads, when the last of them as essentially over a year ago is lost.

Some on the RF threads where you posted on the same thread but never claimed to post directly TO me (and 1000 silverlings has been on those same threads as well), does not make enough of a history. My posting on long threads is sporadic, due to having a life. If I go a day or so without posting on FR, I simply am not going to read through the entire thread to get caught up. I could easily miss someone.

And you are not on my homeschool ping lists.

I’ve been on FR for over 5 years and *met* thousands of posters and simply cannot remember those who I do not encounter on a regular basis.

Look, I basically explained WHY I suspected you in this post.... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2652114/posts?page=375#375. I have also seen trolls get banned just recently, and not so recently, based on comments they made on anti-FR sites.

I never thought you made the posts over there and then *pointed it out* to JR. I’m sure someone else did the nefarious deed. Nobody is complaining about being alerted to the scam. It was the delivery, shall we say, that raised red flags all over the place. The only reason I questioned is was when you made the comment about it only being a *joke*. I had no idea in what context you meant that and was just looking for clarification.

I filed an abuse report over there and complained, although “my” post is still up.

I am willing to give anyone a second chance, but as far as real trust, that trust is going to have to be earned. I’ve learned the hard way too many times to let my guard down just on someone’s say so.

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.

No, you did not hurt my feelings. I do not offend easily like that. But I am not going to go down without a fight if I perceive someone is out to get me and that's how it came across initially.

I will accept your apology and drop the issue.

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.

I can't blame you for that. Neither will I let that happen, which is why I reacted as I did.

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.

And that is uncalled for. You shot yourself in the foot with that last cheap shot.

Many of those whose names were misrepresented on that forum have been the subject of attack and smear campaigns before. You can't fault them for being gun shy after a while.

Actions have consequences. The consequences of your actions could have resulted in the banning or suspension of good, solid, conservative FReepers. But adding that intentional insult (by your own admission) does nothing to impress us with the sincerity of your apology or explanations.

It wasn’t even pinging me that was the issue.

The post was addressed to JR himself with a *Look at what metmom is up to on this thread while FR was down* completely missing the fact that the post he was attributing to me as having been done yesterday when FR was down was done two days before that.

There were many ways of dealing with that situation.

Sadly for him, BD picked the worst one.

Ah, another midget, on the attack.

A rude one, too. Mistakes a man being polite, apologizing for causing offense, with something negative.

HG has posted on this thread, that it was he, himself that posted what went up there under his own moniker. He thought it funny (I assume) as he was openly mocking them, right in their faces. Frankly, I was a bit shocked when I encountered it, but no matter. He had his own reasons

Simple. I posted to JR, made mention of mm's supposed comment there, so added her as a Fr curtesy. Is that clear enough for you? I guessed wrongly she would see the humor, and had assumed she already knew of the post over there with her name on it, faked or no, AS I HAVE EXPLAINED.

Or will you also persist in seeing this as some sort of plot on my part? You know, the "smell test" part you claim I'm not passing? If that's what you meant.

I'd ping JR here, but I'm not looking for a referee, or wish to bother him with this basic misunderstanding.

If you wish to continue imagining motivations or things beyond which I've previously attempted to describe, then hey, whatever blows your dress up...

Your writing style is very similar to Gary West’s. Are you him? Or maybe you’re Randy Newman

Hey lady, I've been soaking up cheap shots directed my way, for a while now concerning all of this. Many of them coming from you, or being made while you and others were snickering amongst yourselves.

Think of it as return fire, Nothing more, nothing less. 'Cause I've had enough. I'm losing patience with it. But to see even that as some "proof" that I had some dark hand in manipulation of things over there, is to go back to the same ridiculousness that has side-tracked both us, and others for a while now.

I’m sure not entirely comfortable with his flavor of drivenness.

Thx.
