Apparently NOT!
I'm being hacked to death here by people who didn;t bother to read the column...
I thought much better then that of freepers.... until now!
Clearly that "degree in BS" will take you far in life...as in far away from Free Republic...
Tuff it out, it could be worse.
The article is fine.
Ha! Drama queen.
Come on now. Be honest.
You slap up a provocative headline.
In Breaking News.
With some provocative excerpts.
And no comments.
With a link to a somewhat impolite site.
And you want us to believe you were surprised when you got a reaction.
Calm down Folks ... everyone here was a newbie at one time, and everyone here posted their first article link at one time, and even some of us lurked for a while before daring to post their very first linked article, but this is really unbecoming of the FReepers that I've known in the one year that I've been a member (yes, it is only one year for me (although I too lurked for a few months before joining :)), and I too got knocked around on my first 'proper' thread post (I changed the title of the article .. Mods nailed me on it)
C'mon, lets be reasonable here
It's a provocative title. I guess that got them too mad to read any further. Anyway, the Moderators must have read it, since you haven't been zapped yet.
A bunch of folks seemed to be suffering from premature speculation.
Actually, most of them were just playfully messing with you.
I'm sure that most people here have gotten a mouthful of FReeper knuckles at one time or another.
Stick around a while and you'll get to see some *real* maulings....:)
[hint; if the "flames" include amusing graphics, you're not *really* getting flamed. ya gotta watch out for those "text only" cyber-massacres. they're the ones that hurt]...;D
