Now, how do I get past the suspicious thoughts that the poster of this thread has been here less than a month? :-)
Why the HECK (was sorely tempted to use stronger word) am I AUTOMATICALLY disliked/ distrusted solely on the basis that I've been "signed up" in this forum for less than a month?!
Why does it seem people aren't capable of judging me on the basis of my ideas, not on my "sign-up" date?
If it makes you feel more comfortable, I stood for hours with 700 other FReepers across from the Vice Presidential mansion a year ago and yelled at Al Gore, "Get out of Cheney's house!"
Gore must've felt the heat, because he DID get out of Cheney's house - long enough to go get an ice cream cone...
About my comment... Without knowing the history of the disruptor activity that goes on here, I suppose it's understandable that you would get your feathers all ruffled by what I said. But frankly, I'm about to sign off and don't want to take the time to give a detailed description of what's gone on at FR for the past 4 years.
There's no reason to take it personal. After all, this is the i-n-t-e-r-n-e-t. You and I could be anyone. I could be some neurotic wheezebag who is paranoid about 70,000 FReeper-snoops who are trying to trick her into revealing her phone number and thus her identity, and you could be some weird pervert and lonely sleazebag who is trolling for some female's phone numbers because you can't get them any other way. Neither is likely, but neither is impossible either.
A good idea and a worthy post should not be accompanied by an expectation of 'automatic trustworthy status' and worthiness of a FReeper group hug. In my opinion, of course.
And by the way, welcome to Free Republic. :-)
I did not realize you were new here or I would have responded in the same way! Not to you, but to the person who brought it up! I want you to know that I have had my name listed as a member for quite some time, but I have only been posting here recently for the past month too. So, if credibility is gauged by length of time here and who knows who...I am no doubt where you are! I like this site very much and hope Nita just made a bad choice of words.
BTW! That's a lot of hours outside Cheney's house! Congrats to all the Freepers!!!! You guys and gals are DY-NO-MITE!!!
