Is Free Republic a Fraud? Is it time for Free Republic to go away?

Free Republic | 11/28/01 | Jim Robinson

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

Nevermind. LOL!

[Howlin]

Any ideas?

You're not important enough to take up their time? Nobody cares about you? They've said all they needed to say?

Sorry, bozo, you're stuck with just me.

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

"Sorry, bozo, you're stuck with just me."

You say the sweetest things.

[Howlin]

And, of course, if you look real close you'll see days where I hardly post at all.

Harry, it's not MY fault that the days I don't post much are all the days you're banned.

Too bad for you; you're stuck with just me because nobody else wants to talk to you -- ain't life grand?

Oh, BTW, don't forget Jim's rule: you have to stay on THIS thread alone, no wandering.

[Howlin]

You say the sweetest things.

You won't think so when you finally realize it's just you and me; I look at you as sort of a toy, mine to play around with.

I'll come back in a bit....meanwhile, just sit there.

[Jethro Tull]

Hey Jim.

In the spirit of Christmas, and in the hopes of making our latest FReeperthon a rousing success, how about granting a "Battlefield Absolution" to Arator, Harry and the rest of the vagabonds currently lost and circling the most outer ring of the internet????

Isaiah Lucifer smells like the maggot king, lottafarts, and while his work compiling all of your posts may seem like hard work to normal people, the afwa baha's record everything in the sacred archives for future use when they are vindicated...I don't think they know the shelf life on storage tape is not in their favor.

If you would like to take the night off I'll be happy to play with Hairy...I feel the need for a really dull straight-man tonight.

[Rocko]

"FR Rocks--love it or leave it!"

Bump.

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

Admiral, are you okay?

[esoteric]

Let them leave. You are an antidote for all the "expletive" out there. GO FREE REPUBLIC. otoh-if you have to go just tell me where I can find you.

[Howlin]

Heck, no. I figure they won't be here that long since they are only allowed on this thread -- they're bound to break the rules soon!

We can share him though. Unless you have something to trade, like Mojo or Pesky.

[Isaiah Lucifer]

So, how many totally worthless posts is that, just today, say, 100 or more? By the way, how much have you paid? I'm sure it's not sufficient as posting on this site seems to be your life! You owe Jim some more money, now give it up!

Or, perhaps, where you live they don't let you have money? But, I guess, having a PC is better than talking to yourself in that kind of environment.

If you look very close at what Jim is saying, you'll see that here has got to be reasonable compensation (and less flack) for his time and effort, especially from posters like you that take up more space than, say, OBL. Perhaps you should consider cutting down your posting activity to, say, when you actually have something to contribute. My guess is, in your case, one post per millennium would be one too many.

[Rogmonster]

I have missed your posts and am glad that you are back, albeit temporarily.

I wonder if we linked our donations to having you permanently re-instated........LOL

[Cyber Liberty]

Another 11-day wonder who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

I'd pay to see Howlin's words, but I expect a check for the tedium of dragging through yours.

[Isaiah Lucifer]

No Inspector, you don't fit any theory of mine, as well as anyone else around here. Other than you don't seem to have a lot to contribute, other than free time and posts that are bearly comprehensible.

Read Jim's post again, my dear. We are not to go to other threads and make a nuisance of ourselves. I've been commenting on other threads since my arrival back in FReepdom. The way I see it, that's not a violation of Jim's wishes. For if it was I'm sure he'd have banned me by now.

I'm sure he remembers how.

[Isaiah Lucifer]

O.K., that sounds very good to me, so pay up! I'd say $1,000 to Robinson would do the trick.

[Howlin]

But, I guess, having a PC is better than talking to yourself in that kind of environment.

I'm not the one obsessed with FR, pal. I'm not the one that looks like a big whiner crybaby because you got banned one time or another.

And now you demand to know how much I pay? What a fool you are. Who do you think YOU are to go around asking anybody stuff like that. Oh, I forgot; you're one of the special ones -- the ones that know all and how everything should work.

You're also one of the ones who are jealous of Jim Robinson, which makes you pretty pathetic, despite all your snappy words.

BTW, I'd say my "worthless" posts, however many of them they are, are much more informative than your vocuous, specious lies about this forum and its owners.
