You left out the key word: YET.
Anyone that has spent any time on these threads knows beyond the shadow of a doubt that if you don't march in lockstep with wintertime you will be attacked and subject to EVERY method outlined in "Rules for Radicals."
Humblegunner, gabz, softballmominva, shag377, to name a few.
Go ahead deny it.
Actually, my experience has been that whenever the topic turns to homeschooling, the Free Republic Teacher's Union arrives and begins pinging for assistance to undermine the conversation, and if Wntertime is present, to attack Wintertime personally.
One example of FRTU tactics is a thread where Wintertime said he/she did not care to have the government educate their kids, but wouldn't care to have government teachers as friends, and you and your little club proceeded to call Wintertime a "bigot" and compare a dislike for government employees to racial prejudice and those who persecute people for their religious beliefs... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2975176/posts?q=1&;page=101. I stepped in to defend Wintertime and say they are free to associate with whomever they choose, and ever since that time you have referred to my defense as a vicious attack upon yourselves.
You seem to thoroughly enjoy attacking people six to one, but let someone stand up for themselves or win the argument, and you immediately play the victim card.
You are the ones who search Wintertime's posts and homeschooling topics and ping your harpies to the attack...no one is following and stalking you. Yet you're portraying yourself as the poor downtrodden bully because your targets won't concede to your harassment.
That is not only Alinsky-type behavior, it is also childish, and cowardly.
BTW I'm a "bigot" too, if despising your ilk makes me a bigot.
P.S. ...BTW your assertion that HG has ever been "victimized" by anybody is laughable, if not downright ludicrous. Is this the incident to which you refer? I'll let readers be the judge. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2979875/posts?page=134
Verga is right - it can get quite ugly. At this point there have been YEARS of accusations back and forth from many people. Very few have ‘clean hands’ in how we have treated each other.
However, I know I have never made comments towards other posters that have been made towards me - and yes I do mean specifically, my name, me personally, in addition to the general, broad brush comments.
Even when I try to be kind, it backfires. Whatever. Life goes on here in VA just the same.
Peace
