What a sorry way to jump-start a flurry of donations. Your tactic is as dishonest as hell and doesn't speak too well of you in my book. I wouldn't even say it was a stroke of genius because it is quite obvious to anyone with two eyes to read and half a brain.
Your strategy is so very transparent.
You bait your enemies (or those who speak out against your policies) to the forum and give the more rabid members something to sink their teeth into. Give them a reason to band together in a feeding frenzy and work themselves into a DONATING lather. Then you sit back and enjoy the show as your stooges do the job of defending, praising and worshipping you. Do you enjoy the wretched displays of insults and arguments done in your name like two people fighting over a lover? What's you game JR...really? This is all do damned UNECESSARY...and you know it.
You bait people to a thread insinuating FR might have to shut down all the while knowing you haven't the slightest intention of shutting FR down. Why the dishonesty? Why the bait? Why the game-playing?
I'm nobody big....just a mother with four kids. I haven't been here that long...just since last May. At first I enjoyed this site...for a very short while. I'm not wealthy but we have money in the bank. I was more than willing to contribute to this site if I felt it was worth it. Just about the time I thought I had found a really good site to get behind here...and satisfied myself that it was worth giving to...an article I posted got pulled by you. It was an article by Mike Ruppert concerning the trading that was done just before the World Trade Center was hit. And that was just about the time you got so PC about Bush. I received an email message from you which stated it was "BS, don't post this crap on the forum".
Well...I've got news for you I've seen some crap posted on this forum that the crap I posted can't hold a candle to. But...all that aside...my way of thinking is why would I be so stupid as to send money to support a forum where my views and the veiws of others is dismissed simply because it is not PC to you or your inside crowd? I wouldn't give this site a dime if I cannot freely express my views here. In all honesty...would you?
You may be the owner of this forum but you cannot make it without the people who participate here. YOU need them. I say them because you don't need me...because I wouldn't give you one red cent. You also need the articles they post. The people on this forum are providing you with a pretty good living so maybe you ought to cut them some slack. You may work hard here but it's not like you are not getting anything out of it....even if you would like some to believe that.
This may be your baby...but those who give and want to... do have right to know what's going on with the money. If the people who surround you are pissing it away in divers ways it might have an impact on some little old ladies or men who are giving donations out of their pension...people who are sending you their Christmas money, etc...you know things like that.
I have never been banned but I do welcome it if you see fit. That or just erase my membership information. I can't support this site under it's present conditions and as such...I really don't deserve to participate. Nor do I care to any longer. It's certainly not of any interest to me when I cannot state my views while abiding by the rules.
The thread regarding FR being a fraud is nothing more than a tactic for pulling in donations. And you should be ashamed of yourself for not only baiting dissenters but your loyal membership too.
I only hope Mojo..whoever he is...has the good sense not to fall for your bait.
As far as flame-throwers coming to your defense against me...have at it. I will not respond to any posts as I am not going to play that game and continue to add fuel to the fire of this disgusting ploy for donations and JR worship.
Frankly, I find it disturbing that some act as if freeping here is a drug that they are addicted to. Maybe addiction is the right word to use for folks who don't ever question anything...whether it's right or wrong...they just want their next fix. "I'll give you money...just give me my fix!...beat me..beat me...make me write bad checks!" LOL. You all have a very merry Christmas...and may FR survive as long as it is destined to.
Sorry about that John.
The people on this forum are providing you (Jim) with a pretty good living.
Would you care to explain on what you are basing this statement? Do you have knowledge of the "living" that Jim is being provided with from the contributors of this site?
You (Jim) may work hard here but it's not like you are not getting anything out of it....even if you would like some to believe that.
Again, what makes you think you know what Jim is "getting out of it"?
These are honest questions, I am not trying to be antagonistic, but I don't like to see this kind of misinformation spread around. I believe you are wrong in your assumptions. And I can tell you on what I am basing my statement. FReepMail me if you like.
I am sorry that your experience here has caused you to become so bitter. Maybe your time would be better spent if you located another website more to your liking.
Bye, bye and get a life!
Freedom Is Worth Fighting For !!

You said you have been here since last May. If you wouldn't give the site one dime, then why are you still here? Just to mooch? You don't have to donate to be respected here or to ensure your posting privileges, and in that respect alone the site owner- and others who do donate- have been very generous, don't you think? Indeed, who would want to accept a donation from someone who despised the place? Keep your money if you think the site doesn't deserve to exist the way it is. But if you genuinely think it isn't worth your money, don't come here and use other people's donations to pay for your complaint time. That's like having a panhandler take a ten dollar bill from a generous lady, only to $@3% on her doorstep because she won't let you have the run of her house.
You may be the owner of this forum but you cannot make it without the people who participate here. YOU need them. I say them because you don't need me...because I wouldn't give you one red cent.

OK, Miss know-it-all. How good is his standard of living? Provide a source for your assumption.
You may work hard here but it's not like you are not getting anything out of it....even if you would like some to believe that.
Provide the source where you have derived evidence that Jim Rob is getting anything but trouble for his efforts here. (Not that it matters to your case.)
This may be your baby...but those who give and want to... do have right to know what's going on with the money.
Why? Why does a gift-giver have a right to know anything? Are you the type who insists on going to your relative's houses every year to check up on the gifts you have given them? Do you make sure the ugly sweater you bought Uncle Hersch hasn't been given to the Salvation army or been resold in a garage sale?
You don't have a 'right' to know- but you DO have a right to not give, as you said, one dime. You haven't- so YOU have no business complaining even by your logic. Let the donors complain.
If the people who surround you are pissing it away in divers ways it might have an impact on some little old ladies or men who are giving donations out of their pension...people who are sending you their Christmas money, etc...you know things like that.
And since we all respect responsibility here, don't you think that that is the responsibility of the donor, and not YOU? What are you, Big Government?
YOU came to FR knowing what the site was "A Conservative News Forum" so don't come blowing smoke at Jim Robinson for not changing this to the DU junior site that you want and crave. The only truth in your post is "I really don't deserve to participate." You are right.
