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.
My outlook.com account has been locked up all morning. Just in the last week I’ve joined the Oath Keepers using that email address, and posted my attendance to a meeting to my facebook page. I started the fb page on purpose, to “come out” as a conservative. I also belong to the FR fb page, but haven’t posted my screen name. I could be paranoid about this, but I’m trying to remain rational.
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. :)
Thanks, Joe, for the thumbs up. Now, what is JoeProBono’s real name, hmmmmmm, I could ask the NSA...they know.
Seriously doubt it
my previous name was LAZAMATAZ
Just begging to be Soetoroed.
I know what your real name is. It’s Nully!!!!
I accidentally posted my name AND address on here one time. I was half asleep and thought I’d pmed it, but nooooo, nothing so innocuous. I posted it for everyone to see!! sigh
No one wants to mess with you! LOL
(I had to leave the FR club on FB. My newsfeed was being swamped by posts from some guy who was making a post every time his dog licked his testicles.)
.....................
Here too. I liked the FR page on FB but that one person was posting so much garbage.
My real name has never been a real secret but I am concerned about WHY someone is compiling a list
But that’s not the pic of the one he mentioned. He was referring to the idiot Jackson-Lee. Unless there are two idiots that think man walked on Mars instead of the moon.
lol. One of the first threads on the FR FB page was people posting their FR screen names. That might be where it came from??
Me too. Null and Void has turned me into something of a conspiracy nut. I used to chuckle at him for it, now I’m one!!! ack!!!
I never saw that post. I haven’t posted anything or commented on anything to the FR facebook page.
Welcome!
I think that was derived from a news article where some at an event called sauropod sauropod...
They all look the same to me?
congresspeople.
Yet another reason to not be on Facebook. FRiends, do not reveal info that can match your cyber-universe personas with your real-world lives. Once info gets into the Internet, it's immortal and cannot be called back.
There are Dems out there who really hate the Right, data-mining capabilities become cheaper every year, and the Obama machine and the DNC are likely funding data-mining projects to identify enemies.
have you ever mentioned your real name or email address on FR?
