Fair Warning, This is a VANITY rant.
I have been watching (lurking), for quite a while. I have come to the conclusion that, since FR has almost assumed "icon" status as an alternative news outlet, there seems to have been an "organized" effort at using FR as a vehicle for subverting thought.
Most recently, there have been some interesting banter, usually between the same individuals, about how much better CNN has become and how FNC has degraded, and how "so and so" isn't watching FNC anymore because of.....(insert some bogus issue here).....
After you break the code, it is almost hysterical to watch.
The usual targets seem to be Fox News Channel, ANY gun post, and FR in general.
I would just caution and advise all of us old-timer, hard-corps Freepers, be aware that you may be the subject of manipulation on the part of the notorious "seminar callers" of Rush Limbaugh fame.
As a note of warning to the "opinion shapers" that think they are being clever on FR. I have been documenting chapter and verse and send it to the Mods regularly.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled threads........
Semper Fidelis
OK - I read through the whole thread looking for you to back this up and provide names or links or something...
What is this, a treasure hunt?
I know more about the 'DITHF' flap than you do squid, -- so whats your point?
I doubt it.
Don't. -- You seem to be implying that T/D had something to do with DITHF, correct? Can you make your point?

Back in those days we had phonies like DITHF and Quidam feeding the forum lines of complete claptrap. And then there was Trident/Delta.
Yes, yes? -- Go on my boyo, -- everybody likes their innuendo hot off the imaginary press.
Hey! I'm a 1998 alum and I'm not for sale on eBay!
LOL! A+Bert!! Reading this thread reminded me of him also! Those were the good old days.
No, I'm saying that DITHF, Quidam and T/D were of a piece.
By the way, do you remember who outed DITHF and what the detail was that gave the whole hoax away?
"all right here on FR"
Right here in River City?
Is that you Professor Hill, Gary Conservatory of Music, Class of '09?
f/k/a MadAsHell
That's ~really~ wimpy tpaine.
I've been warned many times not to name names and start flame fests. Feel free to go through those gun thread links & pick out, and post the names of the closet anti-gun FReeps on FR.
I'll cheer you on.
Trust me - T/D has been around here for quite a while. *I* was forced to change my screen name because MadAsHell was too close to Mad-As-Hell when Jim and John Robinson changed over the software used to control this site. Jim sent me a nice note asking if I would be willing to change screen names. While I was certainly partial to MadAsHell :-), I happily went along, but only with the caveat that I'd be allowed to keep my original sign-on registration date.
And carrying a debate you are having there to another thread is something that is actually condoned? I don't think so. I haven't clicked your links or gone on your treasure hunt. Fight them there, if they are wrong. Trash-talking them here without pinging them is pretty dang wimpy!
Subversives are easy to figure out; just check out their history of post... if they aren't busy insulting a democrat and then making fun and teasing some fellow Freeper, then you know they are subversive...
Now, Hillary stinks of crap... and your post is silly.

Wrong, there was no connection tween the three of them. You're dreaming a paranoid dream.
By the way, do you remember who outed DITHF and what the detail was that gave the whole hoax away?
Sure do, -- but it appears you have some weird theory connecting the three of them. How does a wannabe hero in Texas connect to T/D & Qindam?
Whatever
What I'm saying is that what DITHF, Quidam and T/F had in common was that they were all spinners of yarns and tellers of tall tales.
it usually results in arguements and hard feelings which is not conducive to an open exchange...
I often wonder if people spew their hate just to get a reaction and boy, they sure do.....
thx trident/Delta....
I've been here since '99. I stopped watching Fox and Friends because they refused to stop running that obscene Britney Spears video early in the morning, every morning. Sorry, but I don't want her boobs in my face while I'm trying to get my head on straight. There are legitimate reasons some have stopped watching. Add to that the very little news you actually get on their programming, and it's no surprise many aren't watching. They are majoring in pundits..but once you've heard a story repeated ad nauseum 12 different ways, it gets old. Flame away, but that's just the facts.
They are mental midgets and the only ones they are fooling is themselves
Ve haf vays of makink joo talk! Dunt vorry...VEE HAF OUR VAYS!
I think one of your trolls just posted something about Kerry e-mailing CNN after the terror warning was raised. She joined tomorrow. LOL
