Well if you’re new, you’re forgiven. But I’m pretty sure you were here, so that you’re selective memory seems to forget that many of these trollish Rudybots were the bullies - mass attacks on anybody who dared go against them.

Prolific posters from 1998 may be Rudybots, but they're certainly not trolls if they've managed to stick around here for that long. As I understand it, before the purge began, any "mass attack" by Rudybots was countered by mass attacks by a small minority of Rudy-haters. Because of the purge, the mass attack by the small minority of Rudy-haters on anyone deemed impure by them continues, now unchecked.

This has created an atmosphere of fear - don't correct any misstatements or half-truths about Rudy, lest you be jumped. When you think about it, turning this website into an echo chamber is even not in the most rabid Rudy-haters' interest - spread incorrect information once, and few will believe you when you tell the truth later.

I've said it before and will say it again - please think before you post. The Free Republic posting page even says it - Loose lips sink ships. No profanity. No personal attacks.

This is such BS. I challenge you to link to a single instance of a poster zotted for posting a verifiably accurate statement.

Well I gave you a chance to at least appear to be objective about this but you have decided to take the anti Freeper position...the hate FR crowd if you will.

Just go support the abortionist, open border, gun grabbing, homosexual extra rights given, sanctuary city luvin liberal. I’m done with you appearing to so caring about this site. You just are mad you buddies got the zotbot.

“..has created an atmosphere of fear..”

Maybe the rabid rudybots are now afraid.. though imo it was that very group that created fear on fr, if you didn’t stay in line... and conservativism wasn’t the line they were walking.

Sorry to jump in, but we do know of a poster from 2002 that has admitted to being a troll on FR, on the anti-freeper site he has joined.
