An Open Letter to Jim Robinson From an Ex FReeper
Jim Robinson
I was willing to let the first attack of rudeness by one of your moderaters slide (I was accused of advocating bombing several nations, go figure), thought maybe this person may be having a day. But I received another rude warning just today about "abusing" your side bar, (don't even know what that meant, and still don't, never received an answer after apologizing for it). In fact, I have never received a kind word from any moderater, only those couple of nasty warnings and threats.
The last thing I ever wanted to do was break any rules and a kind word and/or explanation would have helped me, but I never received either. I was in the dark most of the time.
I felt some joy in finding this site back in November but thanks to the "rude", "threatening" posts by your moderaters, the joy is gone from your web-site. The members are wonderful, the folks you have moderating are childish and insulting.
I wasn't able to contribute much for my membership but I would have thought it was enough to at least expect a little "respect" and/or consideration, a little kindness, but maybe you have enough money and people that will suck up to you that you don't need a person like me around. There is absolutely no excuse for you or your moderaters rotten treatment of your members, and you certainly are not the only one that works hard. You are the lucky one Mr. Robinson, my son (USAF) is "brain injured for life", at least you still have a life, and I mistakingly thought I had found some good, conservative friends here, just shows how wrong a person can be.
I am not the first, and I am sure I will not be the last to be humiliated and/or imbarrassed by this website but what I do know is, the joy at being a member here is gone. I will miss the friends I made here, that is the only thing I will miss.
So Mr. Jim Robinson, I have decided to take your advice, " learn to live with it, or move along," I have chosen to move along. You don't need me, and you certainly won't miss me. You have a good.........what ever!
My grandmothers advice: God Bless her, she was right! "Good manners and Respect are Free, they cost nothing dear. Take yourself a whole lifetime of them for they will get you far. But I am afraid you will come across many that cannot afford them, young or old, the cost is too much."

This post may be Deleted, but you and your bullies have that option, you own this site and the minds of the people here, just don't expect me to care about your moderaters childish threats anymore. A copy of this thread has been sent to you just in case.
