There have been some threads posted from other sources that indicated that FR would be the target of troll posts. As the election 2003 (and 2004) approach, expect to see much more "moderate Republican" traffic here.

I'd advise FReepers to not be afraid to speak their mind, don't let the DNC and Greens control the talking points.

Know too that there are a number of active "sleeper" accounts dating back to at least 1998 that still get called into active duty. Just because an account has an old signup date does not mean that it isn't a DUsrupting troll.

The press has given Free Republic a lot of exposure, with exposure becomes visibility (and FR becomes a visible target). The left thinks that FR is an arm of the GOP and that we come here to get our marching orders (they've said both). They don't get it; they are of the mind that if they come here they can turn us into McCainiacs by trash talking President Bush, the economy, and campaign finance.

Can't FR block IP adresses of trolls? This way they cannot re-register under another name.

I remember lurking on Hillary.org once and someone began posting photos from rotten.com. One after another until the site melted down. (Wasn't me...)

Maybe I'll go and post it on DU... nah, I'm too mature for that. But if I were to post a photo like that, there's a smarter way to really get them good.... but I won't print it here.
