Confessions of a young mind

To all who post on FreeRepublic,

I believe the time has come to speak to you on a matter that what I feel is greatly important.

I have been on FR, posting since a week after the September 11th attacks. And..... at that time..... I was 11. I am 13 now. You may have thought I was a grown adult, with a family and kids. Nope. Never happened.

I thought that no one would accept me here, being a kid...no one would take me seriously or respect my opion, or want to hear it, for that matter. Alot of kids have their brain melting inside their head. So, I made up an adult me, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. It was fine, all fine.

But truthfully, it's been on my mind since the day I signed up, and now I'm coming clean. I'm so sorry to all of you, and I may have hurt a few people just now. Once again, I'm truly sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

I specifically want to apologize to:

-Jim Robinson. Sir, I am sorry for what I've done. I've broken the rules like a total idiot. If I wanted respect I should have shown it, and I utterly failed to do so. If you feel I must be banned from here, I understand 100%. Go ahead if you wish. But, if you can find it in your heart-of-hearts to forgive me, I will be forever grateful to you, and will be 100% honest from now on.

-The AdminModerator. Everything I said to Jim Robinson goes for you as well. I am deeply sorry for all that I've done.

-Zavien Doombringer and the other Viking Kitties. I've worked along side you fellows in ZOTing trolls, yet I very well could be considered a troll myself. I've led you to believe that I was a grown man, when really I'm just a teenager. You have all been wonderful to me, and I'm sorry for the toes I'm stepping on and the feelings I'm hurting. My apologies to all of you.

And now, my apology to all the FReepers out there:

I'm going to be blunt. I'm a jerk, a lousy coward, and a liar. I've been crooked about my entire self for the past 2 years. I apologize to all of FR for what I've done, even though none of you really knew about it. Still, that's no excuse. I apologize to everyone.

Again, if you feel banning is the appropriate measure, than by all means, ban me. I deserve it. But if you can forgive me and my arrogance, I would be totally grateful, and I won't live this lie again, not here, not anywhere.

Thank you all for your time, and the past 2 years that you have given me.

Sincerely yours, 4mycountry

Oh yeah. Well I'm 53 and often sound like I did when I was 13. Your apology tells me your 53! If everyone could learn their lesson and admit it like you, there'd be far fewer problems in the world. You're alright, kid!

"Its more like a clique. Or a loose collection of people that have too much time on their hands. Or an autonomous collective. Or a..."

The Viking Kitties are an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more (serious matters).

Now that you've told us, you'll have to kill us. All of us.

WP is a FReeper who may have crossed a line but is not a Troll.

On the contrary, he IS a troll.

He just happens to be allowed to remain here, much as MurryMom is.
If it wasn't off topic to this thread, I'd post a compendium of his quotes that illustrate my point.

what!?!?!?

i hate being on the outside of an inside

[CyberCowboy777]

I have seen him plenty in the Civil War rehashment threads and always took him as a FReeper.

[Zavien Doombringer]

*Clang*

Bring out your dead!

[talleyman]

Tag line winner! LOL!

[ewing]

This fella knows about the Viking Kitties..

[GrandMoM]

....young lady at the young age you say you are, your awareness far exceeds numerous posters on FR.

[IYAS9YAS]

Given the fact that most of the "adults" I work with would never own up to any error, I consider your owning up to your charade an act of adulthood. Take the jabs now, but know that you are welcome here and should not be turned out for a lapse in judgement.

[CyberCowboy777]

I don't know if I should be disturbed, impressed or just thankful?


I appreciate a good quality ZOT on the unsuspecting troll, yet I never stop to think of all the hard work involved in organizing such an organization.

HERE is some of what I'm talking about.

Even the Admin Moderator once remarked to him: "We'll make a conservative out of you yet, Walt".

LOL!

We're in deep trouble if we have to depend on George Bush's leadership to the extent we depended on President Lincoln. Bush ... is a creature of his staff.

"I don't retract any of that."

"If you non-U.S. citizens are wondering what the electoral college is and what bunch of ninnies thought it up:
The US Constitution was written by rich white men like Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Randolph, and others.
They wrote it for the benefit of rich white men like themselves.
They didn't trust the common man --at all--, hence the college of electors, who didn't (and don't) necessarily have to vote for the candidate that carries their state.
Here in Georgia, I didn't vote for Al Gore.
I voted for nine Democratic Party hacks that promise to vote for Al when the college meets in December.
Yeah, I know its crazy, but it works."

Sherman in a June 21 letter to Secretary of War Stanton: 'There is a class of people [Southerners] men, women, and children, who must be killed or banished before you can hope for peace and order.'
Stanton reply: 'Your letter of the the 21st of June has just reached me and meets my approval.'

"What the Reagan adminstration did was worse than Watergate.
But he was a nicer guy than Nixon, so he skated. Also, despite all the Reagan worship, I don't think he ever made a tough decision."

"I'd vote for Gore again over Bush jr.
It was a no-brainer that if Junior was elected, we'd have Senior running things, and I bet he is.
Surely no one thinks that Junior has enough brains to get all this rolling.
Cheney and Powell are going to run the war -- to clean up the mess they made 12 years ago."

"I did say, and say again, that based on what I knew in 1992 I would vote for Clinton over Bush Sr. ten times out of ten."

"I do firmly believe that Bush Jr. is nothing but a figurehead. Bush Sr. is running things; he and Cheney and Rumsfeld.
I mean, really listen to the president. He sounds like an idiot."
- - WhiskeyPapa, 4/7/03

"George Bush Jr. sounds like a retard to me. Listen to his sentence structure and his word choice. Sophomoric. You don't think so, fine."

GW [George Washington] and the rest -were- traitors. What else is new?

I disagree, Hitler had every intention of first ruling Europe and then the rest of the world.
You won't show that by anything he ever said.
- - WhiskeyPapa, 05/13/03

The guy [George HW Bush] was a lousy president and he'll be remembered as a lousy president.

His words. My emphasis.
WhiskeyPapa -is- a liberal troll.

All you VK guys have forever ruined that Led Zeppelin song for me. Sign.

But I love the Viking Kitties just the same. It's just about the funniest thing I've ever seen on FR.

Oh, and by the way, I'm a 4 year old warthog. Just thought you all would like to know.

[Quix]

Glad you cleared it up. Honesty is virtually always a good thing.

But, hey, makes no difference to me. Have been happy to have you around. Still am.

Blessed to know you. God's best to you.
