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

You should apologize to Howlin immediately.

IHC, you are a gentleman. Though we may not on much, welcome back.

[riley1992]

Thank you so much. My warmest Holiday wishes to you, too, Harry.

[Lazamataz]

You disgusting piece of filth.

I'd like to know what the real identity of this person is.

I can give a good guess already.

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

Am I the only one around here that sees the insanity of Bob choosing this guy's post to take a shot at the Antis?

[Cyber Liberty]

Yes. You are. Out of 2,500+ posts that one did, indeed, stand out.

[illstillbe]

Over 2,600 replies and I am tucking my first in amongst such silliness as to make my brain curl ...

Thank you, sir ... thank you ... I remember days before FR ... I would scramble for papers .... go to the library ... struggled, I did, to find the INFORMATION I needed ...

And it was here all along ...

I learned right quickly to avoid those threads which held little interest to me ...

But my very first response was ~~~ tears ~~~ sorry .... but that is the truth ... to finally find the truth and be given the opportunity to learn ... giving me power ... well ...

All the days of my life ... I'll not be forgetting you.

"maggots in the soul."

An apt description, Laz, and one I cannot improve upon. Maybe Jim should keep this as a permanent thread, and a record of the mental workings of some of these folks. The hatred is almost palpable through the screen. Very scary.

[dighton]

Aaaaarrrgggghhhhh, the word agree dropped outta there!

[Slip18]

I was in shock when I read his post. I had to walk away.

[illstillbe]

illstillbe ... get you count right ... it's not after bein' over 2600 yet ...you meant 2500

[VA Advogado]

I'll take two of those, please.

Just be sure to eat some cheese with that whine!

[Cyber Liberty]

I like cheese. A moose once bit my sister. Mynd yu, moose bytes can be pretty baaad...

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

Yes, the guy's profane personal attack stood out like a sore thumb. It was sick and had no place in this discussion or any other. However, what kind of evidence does anyone have that he was an AFer? To immediately jump on a thread and take a shot at the Antis because of some sicko's personal attack (which was totally unrelated to AF issues, BTW) was uncalled for, IMO.

Regards,
Callahan

No one can know for sure who it was.

But I would LOVE to know.

Hell is on Earth, too.

Nonetheless, bro, pick a side. Anti's or Freepers. I daresay there is significantly less sanity among the Anti's then the Freepers -- though we have our bad apples, too -- but on the whole this side is a lot better all the way around. If *I* was you, I'd take that very generous olive branch offered by JR and mimimize the cheerleading you are doing in the Anti world. Betchya you'd be a PermaFreeper without any further complications if you chose sides.

[Cyber Liberty]

Good point. Let's wait and see what develops.

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

Hi there. Thanks for the kind words. Quite a thread, eh?

[TLBSHOW]

and all you wanted to be? Which number was that again?

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

Laz, I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it. Really, I do. And I'm not cheerleading for anybody. I seen an unfair attack launched against an ENTIRE group of people that had nothing to do with anything they did or said. It was unjust and needed to be called out.

Again, I appreciate your advice and kindness.

Callahan

Why does he owe Howlin and me an apology? Was it a good attack or a vile attack? Like a demoRAt attack?
