I do not believe it to really be a racist attack. Those types have their own venues on the net for that stuff, and FR has never been a home to that sort.

Oh, really? Have a look at this. This is historical, and I'm not done. Yet.

Everybody's gonna feel it from now on.

Thanks for the link. This one got my eybrows to raise a bit:

"King said of Reagan, "When a Hollywood performer, lacking distinction even as an actor, can become a leading war hawk candidate for the presidency, only the irrationalities induced by war psychosis can explain such a turn of events.""

King died in 1968. Reagan was a leading candidate for the Presidency in his first term as Governor of California?

X-file #7...yeesh. That's a whole bunch of trolls. The only comments that made any kind of sense were posted by FReepers who are still around.

I guess the rest went back to DU.

Sadly, I think a very large minority of Freepers would look at these files and genuinely be puzzled at why anyone could call those threads racist.

BTW, noticing the number of comments removed, if you don't know this already: if you want to view a removed comment, all you have to do is copy the "Post Reply" link to an unremoved post, paste it in your URL control, and replace the reply number with the number of the reply removed. May or may not help in outing the troll...

Frankly, the more we come with suspects, the more I realize that there are a bunch of very, very sick Freepers out there. There are so many ugly stories out there of stalking, harassing Freepers. Just a couple of days ago, someone was keeping a list of Freepers on his homepage whose views on love he didn't agree with, me included. cyborg cleaned up the floor with him, but you have to wonder how many just like him are out there.

Perhaps the best course of action for concerned single women would be to quit their current FRhandle and re-register under a new one, and being diligent about not giving away any personal information under the new one. After all, sooner or later we're all gonna piss someone off... and if we piss the wrong person off, well... we'll be telling a horror story of our own via FRmail, too afraid to reveal the Freeper's name in public for fear of retaliation.

FR needs to smoke this troll out, not only in the name of decency, but also to send a message that harassment will not be tolerated. Good luck, and stay safe.
