Underground freepmail campaign by unknown disgruntled FReeper

[Jim Robinson]

Hello. You don’t know me under this name. For reasons that are going to be obvious soon, I didn’t wish to send you this message with my usual Free Republic account. This message is an invitation, a welcome to a new forum called TrueBlueFreedom.com

While I love the people who make up Free Republic, I have many complaints about Jim Robinson and his cronies who run the actual website. Over and over again, whenever somebody has complained or offered suggestions, they have been told by JimRob and others to go and start their own website if they know so much. Well, I’ve decided to take them up on that offer.

I’ve started TrueBlueFreedom.com for three simple reasons, and once you’ve read those reasons, I’m sure you’ll agree that we need to make a few adjustments if we want this powerful bastion of conservatism to remain. The first reason is simple: Free Republic is too important to left in the hands of JimRob. Jim and his son John have repeated stated that if just one Freepathon goal isn’t met, that’s it - “Free Republic will be dead.” I can’t stand the idea of America without Free Republic. Imagine if we hadn’t been there when Dan Rather was passing around his forgeries, how different things would be today. Now realize that, as things are going, we won’t be around when the next Rathergate happens. We can’t allow that to happen, and since JimRob has publicly refused to deal with this issue, we have to take matters into our own hands. My solution is TrueBlueFreedom.com

The second reason is that I believe that free market capitalism has made America great, and that attempting any other system will lead us to ruin. A belief JimRob apparently doesn’t share, since he continues to refuse to place ads on Free Republic and instead depend on a PBS-esque donation system. We are not NPR, and we are not a charity – why do we raise money like one? For this reason, I’ve developed TrueBlueFreedom.com to depend on advertisements. TrueBlueFreedom.com will not depend on donations, instead, we will depend on the opportunities provided by the free market to create a self-sustaining version of Free Republic – without the constant Freepathons.

The third reason is that JimRob is, in my opinion, a petty tyrant. How many of you know somebody who was purged? How many wonder if you may be next on the list? If you’re neither of these people, consider this: Giuliani was America’s Mayor in 2008. That didn’t stop JimRob from purging all his supporters without warning. How do you know that whoever you support in the Republican primaries won’t raise JimRob’s wrath? How do you know the next purge group won’t be Mormons, Jews, Birthers, Pro-Palin, Anti-Palin, and so on? I believe that purging the non-believers and demanding total mental agreement with the “Dear Leader” is the exact opposite of conservative values, regardless of where JimRob stands on abortion and homosexuality. And for that reason, I’ve set up TrueBlueFreedom.com as a place where conservatives who follow the rules will not be banned, no matter how much I disagree with them. Regardless of your politics, religion, or favorite sport team, you will only be banned for breaking the rules. TrueBlueFreedom.com is a purge-free zone.

So, I hope you’ve read all this, and will accept my invitation. If this seems like something you can believe in, come to TrueBlueFreedom.com, sign up, and start talking. And if you like it, spread the word. Because Free Republic is too important to just let die.

Very blingy, Onyx! :)

[wagglebee]

The only thing we know about her is she comes in from pitt.edu. Well, actually, that says a lot.

Probably a professor of "feminist thought" or some such crap.

[onyx]

Free Republic is the premiere, conservative website on the whole of the Internet, so like Sarah Palin, he’s been smeared in FR mail, which is laughable, but Free Republic is never harmed, not even by the bloviator himself, Bill O’Reilly who called FR a hate site, or by the libtard troll, Whorealdo Rivera who recently called Free Republic a website for Sarah Palin...( I hope he got that part right).

[onyx]

You like bling?
I like!

[Balding_Eagle]

Didn’t sound like a “her” to me. Why do you think it’s a female? (Obviously not a “lady”. Heehee)

I was purposely being sexist. A real man, to use a metaphor, wouldn't have hidden his identity.

[Kimmers]

I just received this email in my FR account....interesting....

I disagree with the author. While there may be disagreements between idvidual members I find this site to be well maintained and it has been not only a source for learning and news but a source of comfort and humor.

Thank you Jim for your insight and vision.

[big'ol_freeper]

I can probably guess a few names who might be doing this. All the usual suspects are all socialist lovers.

[TSgt]

I gone one too...

If they want to start their own forum, fine, but a virtual coup de tête is classless. That said, who is to say this isn’t a DU effort to sabotage FR?

LOL on wankers for Romney!

NO MORE RINO’S! AND LONG LIVE FREE REPUBLIC!

[1_Rain_Drop]

I love FR because it doesn't have outside ads.

I love FR because it is run by one family.

I love FR because I agree with it.

If Jim wants to purge me, well, then...

It's his house, his rules.

I wish I had found FR years sooner.

To anyone who thinks they can do a better job than Jim, good luck. Consider that FR has existed this long IS because of Jim and his beliefs.

God Bless Jim!

Hey buddy! Good that you’re here. A lot of the expressed concerns comes from your thread and it struck some of us that the poster was likely on your thread and using Ms as a distraction.

I know I was on that thread at the beginning (I have no idea if it went beyond 100 posts) but I'm clueless....what is "using Ms as a distraction"? Is that a poster's name?

I got left off the secret email list, too. I even have my secret decoder ring handy with which to decipher such emails!

I think there's a reason I don't post much....I'm always lost! LOL

"Giuliani was America’s Mayor in 2008."

LOL! Rudy was New York's mayor - not "AMERICA'S", and as I recall, that which got posters suspended was claiming he performed god-like miracles when evidence was contrary and when others disputed their claims with proof, Rudy's supporters showed their RUDE sides and consistantly baited other threads trying to incite disputes from those supporting other candidates.

Of course, what do I know? There's been a lot of bridge under the water since then....

and the GOP STILL nominated McCan't, er McCain.

[My hearts in London - Everett]

If you find the site and click on one of the tabs it shows what the forums will look like. I've been to DU once or twice (I know, Ick!) and the set up looks very like theirs. I hate their set up. I love the way FR is easy to navigate and understand. Trying to siphon away FReepers is pretty low. Looks like he's looking for RINOs anyway.

[NittanyLion]

The only thing we know about her is she comes in from pitt.edu.

Is MurryMom back?

[Lancey Howard]

I do not trust these malcontents.
Anyway, didn’t some of these people already try the same thing with wideawake.com, or something like that?

[musicman]

"The above was sent to me from someone who sent it via freepmail. Looks like it's going out to a ping list, so might as well bring it to light."
"Some call me a tyrant. Whatever. I have stated my goals for Free Republic and will defend my right to freedom of speech and freedom of association and freedom to control the direction and content of my own personal property to the death! Those who wish to fight against me on these issues are free to do it elsewhere. I feel no compulsion to provide malcontents a soapbox. Wankers for Rudy McRomey can KMA!!"

WOW!!! THAT is a pretty bold post!! I just hope you cleared it with Jim Thompson before you posted it!!

That’s a lot of action to miss on FR.

[Jim Robinson]

That’s fine. Just don’t ask me to support murdering babies, homosexualizing our children or our society, grabbing our guns, ignoring our constitution and the limits on government, turning our backs on God, etc. I’ll be happy to join any powerhouse coalition of conservative patriots. Oh, wait. I already have. It’s call the Tea Party!!

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo!!

I'm surprised I got the email, as I'm pretty sure it was sent from
