As have many of the "PTB's" you name, as have many FReepers, current and ex. It's a place where exiled FReepers and current FReepers can find each other again. That's why I'm there. I post at RuR in particular primarily to keep in touch with Harry.
It would be a mistake to presume that everyone who posts to an "AFer" board is of one mind and out to destroy FR. That simply is not true.
OK, back into the mists go I until you summon me forth again... ;^)
You invited us over here, supposedly for the purpose of examining your credibility, integrity and so forth. You've made a serious charge that may be viewed as libelous by some. Please be specific.
What an amazingly disingenious thing to say. The wish to "shut down" FR because AFers believe it to be a "scam" and send JR "to jail" is all over your TTC and AFWAA sites. Better start the purge...
Jim, maybe certain people should be charged on a "per-post" basis. hmmmmm.....no laws against that!!
Over-simplified and, far worse, distorted.
Think that's fascist? Don't like living under the 24/7 watchful eye of the moderators? Well then shove off, sweetie, because that's what we got here and we like it"....
The sentences bolded above have to be the funniest lines in well over 2900 responses to this thread.........perhaps you (you appear to be in the know) can explain to all of us how "important' it is or 'just how dearly' held it is to discuss turtles asses? Or their ability to breathe thru same? Or better yet, just what is the 'official' position a FReeper should take on turtle asses?
Kinda like Swamp Thing ...
Chump change, my friend.
That was an example, -- I wasn't boasting. Are you?
BTW, do you want to be the one who tells the people who really cannot afford to come here using "pay for play" that they can't come on FR?
Nope, and that need not be a probem. - Give everyone a hundred posts a month, before you start the 'guilt meter' running.
You got any better ideas yourself? - Lets hear them..
I give MORE so everybody can come.
Yep, you are so special.
On the flip side, you people have been accusing me of all sorts of crimes, fraud, tax evasion, lying, cheating, and sleaze of every kind. And occasionally some of it gets posted here like it did the other morning. And some of it gets deleted as being disruptive, and some of it stays up. The post the other day got deleted and I got accused by the darkside of covering up something. That's why I decided to open up this thread to those of you who are making the accusations and allow you to make them public. We will allow you to report whatever evidence it is that you may have backing up your various charges and then we will let the readers decide. Now, it is time for you to be specific. If you have evidence of fraud, deception, tax evasion, scam or whatever, you should not be afraid to post it here. Like I've seen many of your cohorts say, truth is not libelous. Well, if you have it, lay it on us. If you doon't then shut the hell up and go away.
I must agree with you here. I'm a good example of that. I initially used the Anti sites to raise my specific real world management and activism concerns in the hope that the more professional still connected Freepers may have JR's ear. Didn't take me long to realize the folks there don't want to make constructive criticisms/solutions, they just want to whine. I actually spent much of my time at those sites defending the Robinsons and their family. For that I was ostricized and gave up trying to inject any reason into their one-sided discussions. They've lost all sense of proportion and the ability to be objective. There use to be a few that would listen to reason and didn't buy into every crackpot theory of Mojo's...no longer the case.
And I've never seen anything by you indicating a desire for ill-will upon FR or JR, although I think you've been uneccessarily insulting on occasion.
Well now, there's the rub. We don't have what you don't provide in the form of meaningful disclosure.
BTW, did you ignore my question about California laws governing charities, or did you simply overlook it?
