No threat to you personally. The "you" in this dialog is referring to the nameless and faceless "Anti-FReeper" community. Whether you personally are involved and or whether or not the anti-freeper community is itself a criminal conspiracy, I have no idea. That will be for others to discern and decide at the appropriate time.

After doing all that math, you may be in need of some female companionship.

And I thought you were the one who started this thread, inviting all this scrutiny and answering all these questions.

From the article at the top of this thread:

I am going to reinstate Mojo, Inspector Harry Callahan and Arator's accounts so they can join Chuck Allan, TKEman, K.U.S.S. and whomever else wants to get involved, and I invite them to come onto this thread and make their accusations public. As long as they do not go onto other threads and make a nuisance of themselves, I will let them have their say.

I don't see anywhere he invites questions or says he'll answer even one. He said you could "make your accusations public."

Since you seem to be threatening me, this thread is evidence, so please don't delete it. Have a nice day, Jim.

Just as a matter of curiosity, do you have any idea how stupid this statement makes you look?

You must be joking or smoking weed. There was no heyday and there was no platform. Your site went into the toilet the moment you let the Afers in. They have NO desire for ANY kind of positive exchange.

Actually, the AFers were mild compared to your multiple profanity-laden posts. But, now I understand why you were so inclined. You regarded Reunion as a toilet and used it as such. Which is why I had to sanction you multiple times.

Needless to say, you did not represent FR well at all and contributed absolutely nothing to the dialog. I'm sorry to say this, but you even made the worst AFers look good by comparison.

Oh well. I understand that there's been a lot of nasty water under the bridge between you and certain AFers and it's gotten intensely personal for you. Nevertheless, I would have thought that your position at the top of FRN would have called for a more mature approach. Instead, by your borish behavior you just made the AFers seem justified in their critique. Something to think about...

Now, back to the mists I go...

(Remember...its just the internet, folks! Get a grip!)

And chess is just chess, but a wee bit less interesting for the average sports fan. A good board (a GOOD board) is chess as a contact sport, as you should know.

As to posting on the anti-FR spin-offs, it's not the act, but the content. Within the microcosm , judge and be judged. NO DOUBLE STANDARDS!

Again, as you should know.

Thanks John. - This is the kind of info we all need in order to get this site on some sort of a firm financial footing.

Hmmm, lets see 6800 nickles is 3400 dimes = $340 bucks, less $100 PTD.... I owe you guys $240.oo

If I'm still here in a few weeks, and the playing field isn't too tilted, the check will be in the mail. -- Trust me. --- And I'll trust you.

I have come to believe you are insane or have deep psychological problems

Go start you own web-site.

Oh, that's right. Been there and done that. Failure.

YOU WILL NEVER GET FREE REPUBLIC TO BEND TO YOUR WILL.

Take a hike

Not saying that I am willing to answer every question you may have, but I will answer all I can.

Has Free Republic ever employed a display board at CPAC and elsewhere purporting to represent its "Nonprofit Corporations?"

Are you now or have you ever been a member of the

Commmunist Workers Party?
The Klan?
Skull & Bones?
The Boy Scouts?
Book of the Month Club?
The Y? A carpool?
AAA
or even AA?

What was the result of your HIV test last time?

I am a newbie but I love this site and I have the deepest respect for both Robinsons. I remember the site "went down" not to long ago and the Robinsons worked long and hard to restore the site to working order...they also kept in touch with us on a Yahoo FreeRepublic page...keeping us informed as to what was wrong and guessing how long it would be and they were cheerful with us...keeping our spirits up while we waited and stewed about it. I have contacted BadJoe to make arrangements for a contribution and I will gladly donate when I can at other times. I have met alot of nice people here in a short time. Thanks to the Robinsons for all they do.

And you've gone way past what MOST people would have done.

But those cards and letters just keep on coming!

I agree. That's why everyone who posts on those sites shouldn't be lumped in together as an 'eschoir' or a 'mojo'.

Well, they are dedicated to their task. All day long, seven days a week, holidays included. I believe some of them are about to earn their three year anti-FReeper badges. Wonder if they earn retirement pay at twenty years.

LMAOROF

What I mean is, they are total idiots and have no life!

threatening me, this thread is evidence

Basic reading comprehension of the English language is required for intelligent posting on FreeRepublic.

Maybe that is why you were kicked out.

Jim Rob threatening you on this thread? Oh, please. Why anyone (including myself) ever would take the time to answer one of your ridiculous comments is what should be questioned. I repent.
