Harry was gone. Now he's back.

I have noticed that their arguments don't seem to play as well over here and they do over there -- of course, over there, nobody contradicts them or questions their "facts!"

I just cannot get over the self-fawning of Arator though. That's a side of him I'd never seen. It's quite unattractive. No wonder he doesn't get along anywhere he goes.

Aw, come on, Howlin, lighten up. I was just feeding off the mood of the moment. If you think I take myself that seriously, you're mistaken. I was laughing all the way at that schtick. LOL.

Now, on a more serious note, I heard from our mutual friend about the reprehensible attack against you earlier today and I've read of Harry's coming gallantly to your defense. I want you to know that if I had been on this thread at that moment, I would have done just as Harry did. That was beyond the pale. I'm sorry you had to suffer through that.

Hah. Their arguments never played anywhere else well, even at their own site(sssssss) sometimes.

I've been cracking up reading along at how desperate aligyrl is (as the official hostess of antifreeping?) for people to come and read their site. These people have never allowed dissent. In fact, they never could resist banning each OTHER at times, much less allow people who didn't agree with them to stick around.....

Such lafs.

That's just here. Action was breaking all over the place today, on multiple forums. It was sheer madness, I tell you. Perhaps you haven't heard about the Clarity emails?

But, compared to Harry, I probably am the older one. I certainly felt like it this week as I have been afflicted with a terrible cold.

What, did you feel the *love* on this thread for you?

As far as what happened, I'd appreciate it if YOU did not patronize me and stayed out of my personal life, period. One of the things that irks me the most about you is how, when you DO get back on here, you always act like you have all the inside information and are "one of the guys" around here. And even if I have differences with Harry, Harry is NOT a liar, which, as I have stated on this thread many times, you are. You knowingly let the people on the AFer site think that I had come over there and posted gross and vile stuff. You KNEW it wasn't me, and you STILL 'entertained' the idea that it might be me.

Unfortunately for you, people that never even knew who you were have now been to the AF sites; now they know about you.......and it's not a pretty picture.

In case you didn't notice, you lost this war. You have accused Jim of a mulititude of things, and you guys gave it your best shot, and nobody over here is buying. The only thing you have accomplished is to expose yourselves as the petty, freakish losers you are.

All in all, I'd say it worked out great for us. I don't think you picked up any groupies on this trip, old boy.

Busy, busy. You're in such demand as an expert fawner, I'm surprised you have time for FR anymore.

Perhaps you haven't heard about the Clarity emails?

Nobody cares about that, A Rat; oh, it gives YOU a hard-on, but nobody cares about that over here. A bunch of back biting weasels, the lot of you.

I said no one would give you a penny to help run a site. Thats why you closed your site.

Here everyone helps out with making this site a success. There you only fight. That is why Jim is a success and you are not. I mean you and ALL the anti-s anything either freepers capitalist Americans Clintons.

Rest assured the grown ups are back in charge as Ann Coulter says.

They hate it so much over here, within an hour of Jim offering them a return, they all showed up to give us "chapter and verse" about what a bunch of dolts we are.

How many times have you read "If only they'd realize what was going on," or "Wait till the 9th comes in and FR goes belly up," or "Wait till they figure out how JimRob is cheating them all."

The thing is, IF FR ever went belly up, their lives would be over.

Wow. You just won't let this one go.

Now, Howlin, be fair. There was know way for me (or anyone) to know absolutely whether fake Howlin at Reunion was you or not. Frankly, at the time, I hardly knew you. I had no clear idea of your posting personality. I had nothing to go on except the fact that you had told a mutual friend that that was not you. On that basis, I announced it to the forum immediately. But then, other members who knew you better than I did, insisted that that was you and demanded that I regard it as such. Were you lying to our mutual friend? It certainly was possible. So, as there was no way for me to know absolutely what the truth was, I merely acknowledged that fact to the forum later that day. Put yourself in my shoes. I didn't know you. I still don't, really. Absolute certainty simply was not possible for me to attain in this matter. I merely acknowledged that fact. Now, is that really so terrible?

Arator is more entertaining lately, at least to me. I loved his comment about the 'rotting carcasses' best. What a classic Arator-moment.

Arator lost any respect I might have had for him when he got banned (one of the times) and went running to Eschoir's site. Over a period of time, I think some unkind things had been said about Arator at some of those yahoo clubs.....and he went there anyway, for sympathy? Companionship? Acceptance?

Odd, because I thought I saw him saying something recently about how people shouldn't stick around at sites where they are "abused". Maybe I read it wrong, or he changed his opinion later.

I was here when you were in your prime and back then I never did get the point.

Jimrob could paint himself purple, pretend to be Barney and shake down little kids for their lunch money and I could care.

I'm here to read what people say. Why some people formed a cult trying to discover what is REALLY happens behind the screens at Free Republic is beyond me.

Well, I've been waiting for this for two days! In order to extracate yourself from this accusation, you're willing to say you don't believe your OWN friend.

You truly are pathetic.

In light of the fact that this is supposed to the the "pigpen" thread where pretty much anything goes, I note with interest that some of the replies on this thread were pulled and then later restored.

Any idea why?
