So now you’re saying that the direction FR has taken in the last week or so caused freepers to join an anti-freeper site over a month ago? You’re still not making any sense.

Many of the posters on WideAwakes have joined fairly recently. That forum was pretty slow before this thread began. It has picked up steam over the past week. That's a fact. Darwin Central has also picked up users and viewers, largely thanks to the publicity given to that site on this thread. I never knew that site existed before someone mentioned it here.

Could you be the first established freeper I’ve come across who doesn’t know what an anti-freeper is? No, I’ve seen others, but they were all anti-freepers. Even if you’ve never heard of one, a basic understanding of the English language should help you to figure it out.

I can't say that I've heard the term until this week. I thought it had some sort of special meaning I didn't know about, not the plain English meaning it should have. It turns out that some here seem to think "anti-FReeper" means FReepers or former FReepers who post on websites that those FReepers don't like.

The fact is Darwin Central is a more open site than WA. There they explicitly state their disdain for FR and gloat over the exodus that is now occurring. They have a thread dedicated to that proposition that is 67 pages long. I should note that most of the former Freepers have exited quietly without accompanying rants against other members who are still here. You can not expect principled conservatives to not respond when confronted with such ranters, and sometimes with harsh language if need be. I admit some of the flaming has gone over the top and has caused some solid conservatives to leave, at least temporarily in protest. In fact a number of Freepers who signed up at WA are continuing to post at FR, and are just staying away from the political wars for now.
