like a bunch of crybabies every time someone says something you don't like.You have the balls to call others crybabys? Malodorous, I've been watching your demigod (arator) your prosecutor (Z2) your court jester (IHC) and yourself snivel for nearly 12 hours. SHUT THE EFF UP.

My site is nothing more than an example of entry level programming capabilities I have on a few resumes. I offered some space to a few folks because I have a lot of it and figured why waste it. The majority of the posts there are from freepers who took me up on the offer for space. I'm sure they will appreciate your kindness.
I had hopes of it taking off, but as stated earlier, I was not going to let it grow using the vents and rants or banned Freepers.
My site is a project....where is your creativity?

You missed a key point, my friend. I didn't spend those hours........and my time is very valuable to me.........to research "you". "You" weren't the issue......and aren't the issue. But you said I was the issue, remember?
Saying.......and truly meaning........all of the above, having read many of your replies here and on the "Reformation Reunion" (or whatever it's called; sorry to say I've ALREADY forgotten after spending HOURS there this afternoon at TKE's urging), I've also come to the conclusion that you ARE, in fact, incredibly self-absorbed. I don't say that to be obnoxious or overly rude to you, Arator, but dude...........you've gotta step away from that mirror for just a few.
Gee, now where would I get the idea you went to RuR to research my posts? Uh, maybe because you SAID so?
OK, now that we both know I'm not completely crazy, I'm surprised and glad to hear that you are a paleo-con. I was even more surprised to see that you've been a FReeper ever since '98. So, did you miss my FReeper Brigades HQ site? Jethro Tull and I started that up back during the primaries, and it was in that sense that I assumed the role as "titular head" of the Paleo-cons on FR. I certainly did not mean to imply that I speak for anyone other than myself, including you.
At any rate, I'm surprised I don't have a stronger impression of you. I don't recall you posting much during the passionate Brigadier vs. Bushie wars during the election season. In any case, I'm pleased to make your acquaintence.
Lose the persecution complex and contribute, 'cause like I said, I think you can do just that.
That would be so easy to do if only they would stop persecuting me. LOL.
To: malador
...I'd rather read a few sentences from any of the free thinkers...Eureka! Your problem is clear to me now. You simply don't comprehend the difference between free and cheap.
To: Arator
I'm new to FR and cannot for the life of me see what your beef is? Get Over It. My Gosh!!!
To: Jim Robinson
FR is no fraud, it's the best forum on the net.
To: Arator
I only mentioned my impressions of you (from my "research") because...........I was replying to
you. That's all. Consider it a "personalized response"; I didn't go to research or look for "dirt" on you or anybody else in particular......at all. It was a search for what some consider "truth". That's all.
As for the rest of your reply, I appreciate the friendly tone. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, as well, and urge you to consider the points put forth in our little discussion here. There's just too much to do, Arator.
God bless.
To: Arator
I don't know how to say this politely, but you bore me. Why don't you go away for awhile. Tomorrow is another day.
To: TLBSHOW
Are you planning on giving an apology to Jim tonight? No, I did that once. But, I was censored and banned again only months later anyway. LOL.
I've learned from painful experience that direct contact with Jim Rob is the surest way to a quick banning and is best avoided. Better to just avert one's eyes and pretend that he isn't there and hope that he doesn't notice you if he is. Even talking about him obliquely like I am now is dangerous, so I had better stop before I say too much. LOL.

One of the big reasons to give money to this place is to make it available to others out there in search of just this kind of forum. Contributions are like building a bridge between Haves and HaveNots in terms of information. Making it a pay-for-view site would be like erecting a toll booth in the center of the bridge.

While I think it's great, possibly there needs to be something like FR's absence to ... weed out the chaff (hey, I might be talking about myself there ...) and cause people to really appreciate what we have here now.
Just thinking out loud. Not that I *want* it to go away, it's just that it wouldn't be a big deal to me. I have always though conservatively and lived my life that way. That's not going to change no matter what happens to FR.
To: malador
Well, I'm glad you can read my mind. Actually, I like facts and you presented none. Maybe it's my educational background that I base my decisions on logic over emotions. Whatever. It is apparent you don't know what you are talking about. I will re-read the Patriot Act because maybe I did miss that part.

Given what you know about your ex-pro bono lawyer, via the Buckley Bomb, and how he talked you into the failed Eschoir lawsuit that has, so far, cost FR $105,000,000, do you think, looking back, he munged up the LAT/WP lawsuit as well?
To: Jim Robinson
FR should run as long as you get the support you need. If/when you ask for it and don't get it, then it'll be time to shut it down. As to banning, I like your decisions in this area - you've gotten rid of some serious pests in 2001. Thanks for all your efforts. FReegards
To: malador
I'd rather read a few sentences from any of the free thinkers I've had the pleasure to read on here than all the mindless garbage that streams out of the roomful of monkeys with computers known as "the state." Well said, malador!
To: malador
I think you're wrong. I don't even know what you're talking about. I am a poster on FR; not one of the "ladies" or the Guild.
However, you do sound jealous.
