Note: Forgive this vanity, but this must be done. Kudos to the mod on duty for zapping the Tub-girl Troll early. I stayed put to see if he would post again. And true to form, he/she/it did at the same time as it normally does, which is between 0730-0800 hours CDT on weekdays. This probably means that it is posting them from the job, likely from the eastern time zone. Now, who was it? All information should be put out in the open post haste. cyborg, mhking, Darksheare, and I are tired of being the specific targets on this sub-human fecal matter. Lazamataz and Petronski also have taken notice. Let's get it out now.
Pros: Active Freeper, rotten.com lover (no way that anyone who posted those pics isn't a big fan of Rotten.com), college student...
Antis: If he's an atheist, why disparage evolution?
Unless he's a professional troll through and through... in which case he'd stick around FR long enough to know that we're not Stormfront, and long enough to know who's who.
Is the one who got me? I think so.
This person is a freeper.
Or an ex-freeper. Probably an ex-donor who felt he was screwed in some way.
I suspect it's either a militant Clown (And I'll admit laughing at Deano and the rest of them going nuts over a message board.) or a LF'er who was at FR a long time before a ban. One that either wants to paint FR as racist in an attempt to destroy or weaken them politically, or a racist who was once banned from FR who wants revenge. I doubt it's a DU'er, Kossack, or anyone like that. They'd probably attack Bush or DeLay, or rant. The most vicious fighting is more internal than ideological. I highly expect it's an anti-freeper of some sort. If it was some punk kid or DU'er, it would have been over a long time ago.
It's all a form of internal (or office type) politics and all the cliques that go along with it. It's something I can't really explain except those who have been through it know exactly what it is. I can't understand why the Clowns and others are so wrapped up in the office politics over a website, but it's obvious how bitter they are over there. Many of them want to destroy FR.
The reason I say that is I've been through my own office politics. The nastiest political fight I've ever been in was with a group I was once "activist of the year"(and also PAC treasurer). We almost took each other to court later that same year (me for "tortous interference" or "misrepresentation", them for libel) when this one group went under new leadership and sold out their principles to a bunch of union goons which destroyed the organization.
If JimRob ever boots me from FR or if I decide to leave it, I'll just walk away. No opus, no anti-freeping, no Clowning, none of that, it would just be parting company. To me it's a website and message board. There's no membership fees here, only donations. It's not a 501C3 org or anything like that. If I'm going to go after someone for an internal politics reasons, it better be worth my time and/or money. Going after FR, the anti-fr groups, DU, or Kos would be a waste of my time.
I can't think of anyone from '03 who stands out in my memory. Most of the problems I've had here are from posters from '98. Something about that year and I that just doesn't mix.
For some, FR is an obsession when they leave this board. I don't know why, but it is.
It is because we are the best.
Trolls are so stupid. If you really wanted to troll a web board, wouldn't it make sense to take your laptop to various WiFi hotspots and use their IP addresses?
Proper trolling would be accomplished from a "wardriving" platform, yes.
Almost totally untraceable.
I knew a guy like that in college. I'd never given him a 2nd look, and he turned to me once and said he'd love to ask me out, but that "Jesus says it's wrong." I laughed in his face and walked off.
You extrapolate to a higher degree than I'm capable of comprehending.
I think the meanness of this spamming in question is pretty hard to draw any line to conclusively except that somebody wants to aggravate and insult folks and try to make the forum look bad.
And I believe it is a FReeper and that that person wants to piss on the forum. Folks from all persuasions dislike this forum for a variety of reasons and they have pushed the hot button.
My first thought too.
Anything to make FR look bad. Who knows?
It could be Pete Peters Jr but that is so obvious that I'm skeptical. I think that is the point to sully FR.
LOL! And I'm a latte fun!
butter pecan?
I don't mind speaking my mind admittedly but underhanded blows intended to hurt are plain wrong ...especially when directed at women.
Well....you've survived here 7 years..lol
No! That's butta pecan Rican. ¡Hola, mommi!
Ping.
LOL
Really??
