Greetings, Windflier~~~
I was gone from FR for maybe a year (?), longest vacation. Anyway, of course I finally had to come back for the fun/n/games. Like a moth to a flame...
Anyway, I have noticed a lot of names I don’t recognize at all with old signup dates. Like Kush here, signup 1998, first post 2001, two pages of comments. Weird, eh?
I hope all is well with you and yours.
Unfortunately, not so weird for Free Republic.
I've lost count of all the sleeper accounts I've run across. For those of us who are here every day, they stand out like a sore thumb.
Good to see you back!
I'm sorry, but I must have missed the posting clause when I signed up 18 years ago. Exactly how many posts per year are required to maintain correct status in your eyes? Is 1 per year sufficient, or must one bang away at the keyboard as if they had typing Tourettes?
Just to be clear, is this how it's going to be from now on? When someone posts something you don't like, call in the Stasi? Question their being? Maybe, just maybe, a lot of the old timers are starting to pop back up because they see the site suffering from all the fools that have turned it into a Trump super pac. Nothing against Trump, he's the nominee, he gets my vote, but that is in spite of, not because of, what has been taking place on this site since last June.
No matter what my history says, this is where we have ended up. A group of members on a conservative website have been destroying the candidates who agree with them at least 75% of the time to support a candidate who may agree with them 30% of the time. Weird, eh?
