As I regarded them to be a brilliant (and funny) parody of your foul posting personality, I was inclined not to delete them. JenLart, however, was so personally hurt by the fake Howlin's attacks against her, that she insisted that they be deleted despite the fact that the attacks themselves constituted an hilarious send-up of Guild-think. In the end, later that day I acceded to JenLarts wishes and deleted them.

I suggest you take a look at #756, your very own words.

And for you to defend JenLart is highly amusing; what a vile poster she is; she's caused trouble on every forum she's ever been on; even this one; is she STILL a good friend of yours, even after all the nasty things she's said about you.

Are far as wanting to call you a liar again, you're right.

You forgot the part about you being a fraud.

IMO, the goal of a conservative forum is to have the broadest group of conservatives possible discuss issues of the world in a manner in accordance with the principles by which our nation was founded.

I'd have to say that this goal is met every day on this site. Like everyone else here, I have had a few posts inexplicably banished to the bit void, but that is of no significance compared to the value I have taken from the quick access to and intelligent, witty discussion of latest news and opinion.

Focus on the prize: getting more and more people to THINK about the beliefs we share and encourage but not attempt to force them to agree with us. In a world where new liberal voters are born by our horrid school systems every day, we need every logical, right-minded voter we can attract to our causes.

Howlin, I am directing this to you 'cause you must be really smart (you agree with me on a lot of stuff.)

I have not been around as long as many, so my perspective is a little different.

I don't understand why there seems to be so much concern around here about the likes and dislikes of such people as Arator and Callahan. They are consumed by the finances and inner workings of FR. They don't like the "cliqueish elite". They don't like what they refer to as the "Guild." So what? They may not like banana nut ice cream, but who cares?

Anyone who thinks a free service which accepts voluntary donations can, under any definition, be a fraud is demonstrably idiotic and should be considered irrelevant.

So here is the point: Why waste time on them? Can they harm us somehow? Are they kept around because their targets enjoy the verbal jousting? Are they somehow ingrained in the DNA soup of FReeRepublic, and thus can't be let go of? Do they have anything to do with whether FR continues or not?

I guess I just don't get it. What am I missing?

Your cognition problem continues. My enforcement of our posting rules against personal attacks at that time in deference to JenLart's sensibilities as a member in good standing of our forum hardly constitutes a blanket defense of JenLart. In fact, I agree with you. She proved herself to be a most vile poster. It wasn't long before she fractured into a host of multiple ID'd multiple personalities and was a significant contributor to the troll chaos which was soon to transform a once civilized FReeper Reunion into barbarian Troll Town.

In retrospect, knowing now what I know about her unstable posting personality, I think that JenLart herself was probably the fake Howlin, among others. She is one sick puppy.

Are far as wanting to call you a liar again, you're right.

Yep, I figured as much. And it is exactly that style of posting which made that fake Howlin so hard to distinguish from the real one. ;^)
