I was a member of another message board, one for a computer game, I kept talking politics and some libtard told me to go join Free Republic, I had never heard of it. I lurked for a couple years till I joined in ‘03. My name at the other board was “Imperator” (yes, I am that full of myself ;) ) which I chose probably cause I had just seen that TV movie with Timothy Dalton as Caesar and Billy Zane as Mark Antony where they used that title a lot so it was in my head when I was choosing a name. People called me “Impy” for short. “Imperator” was taken here, so I went with “Impy”.
That account on that other board I eventually lost when I tried to change the password and they sent a new one to a defunct email addresses. Make sure your password is something you can remember, don’t just keep a random default one!
I joined Free Republic at the time when Israel was fighting Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. My screen name is from the Stonewall Brigade reenacting unit, that I was involved with
