Dear FRiends,
A FReeper sent me a short list of names this morning that he says he found on an internet site that matched up freeper names to their real names. He says he managed to get the site owner to delete it and we can thank him for that. But in the message he sent me there was also an accusation that the list was provided to a third party by John Robinson. That's bullshit. John would never do such a thing.
On a hunch, I looked up the listed names on FR's facebook page and sure enough all but two were members. Then he sent me a longer list and I recognized many of those names as also being facebook members. I've seen threads run on facebook where members outed their own FR screen names. If you have a facebook or twitter account or other social media accounts in your real names, you may want to be cautious about outing your FR screen name. There are leftists out there and sometimes even anti-freepers who could easily compile and post such lists.
> That probably has more to do with the relative levels of narcissism within the two groups than intelligence. Conservatives usually don’t feel as compelled to yell “Look at Meeeee!” in public forums. :)
Well if they were truly more intelligent they’d realize that and control thir behavior. Oh wait, controlling yourself is a conservative trait. They couldn’t have that...:^ |
I’d like to have Zuckerberg’s tax statements to see if he’s paying his fair share. I’d guess he’s probably as close to tax exempt as you can be for a billionaire...
Did you get a message that someone else was using your email address? I hope they haven’t been hacked because that happened to my son today so I had him send it to my trash email and when I tried to sign on it said that there had been suspicious activity and to change my password.
We have bloggers that do exactly that.
And always remember that just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you.
My real name is Jane Doe. My mother was Mary Smith; and my father was John Jones.
I look forward to meeting you in the gulag.
Interesting..
I get:
"Sorry, this page isn't available The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed."
If you weren't on this list it just means you have been upgraded.
You may have some pissed-off bloggers after you now that you have been outed.
Was he Scottish, then?
What do you mean by "locked up"? (general info request)
Yes, that is a constant worry.
Let’s if they can crack my super encrypted screen name.
In the meantime I’ll be under the bed...........
You’re one of the worst of the lot and I HOPE you get whacked.

Too bad they didn’t name you Allie Susan.
You could be Allie S. Smith ‘n’ Jones...
Jim, I got the FReepmail.
It looks a lot like the list that you deleted from the Official FR Facebook page several months ago. By that I mean that it’s the same format: [real name] = [screen name] - alphabetized by real name.
