OK....then it’s true, that WAS said over there. I didn’t doubt you, gpapa, I didn’t want to believe that things like that would happen.

When this all started, I really did NOT care one way or another if Ivan started a forum and like-minded folk joined him.

But to PLAN to come here & goad FRers...and then act innocent when they’re called on it...that crosses a line with me.

That is flat out WRONG. Go and have your forum, do what you can to support your guy...but why does THIS have to happen???

People, we need to get over the FR site and start posting articles and commenting.

I think you may have misunderstood. The quote is "get over" the FR site, not "get over to" the FR site. The context is "forget about FR and start posting articles and commentary of our own on our own site."

People, we need to get over the FR site and start posting articles and commenting. We have to help WA grow. I know it's hard to find interesting articles because the MSM is treating all Republican candidates with a big yawn, but we need things to discuss besides FR which is getting old quickly.

Just in fairness, not in support of WA ... this post is NOT advocating posting stuff on FR. I thought so at first reading ... but it is actually encouraging their posters to "get over" FR and stop talking about it.

BG, I think you misinterpreted the thrust of the comments made at WA. The poster indicated that they, the members of WA, should stop posting stuff at FR and instead post them at WA instead. I have no problem with that and hope most of them continue to visit, post and comment on FR as well. On the other hand we know that some who members of both WA & FR are still posting here on this and other threads and mixing it up with other Freepers who support the stated goals of FR. Here is another WA comment on the same post I described in my original posting at FR. For clearity I will include the original WA post as well. At the end I post another WA comment that well describes the underlying issue I am concerned about. I regret that I am unable to ping the poster of that last comment as his/her account has been banned or suspended.

Hi Merry, I think a big part of it is that people need to vent a bit about what happened and circumstances that brought them here, and it usually involves TOS. Some have just arrived here and others have been here a few days or weeks. It's a relief to see old friends on threads and natural to want to touch on what occurred there. That said, I think as new posters settle in and learn their way around, they'll see that the Salt River area and chat are the best places to discuss TOS.

Yes, it can be hard to find good news articles. An alternative would be to post threads with opinion pieces by favorite columnists. I'm pretty computer challenged and never posted a thread on another site but found it quite easy to do so here.

But apparently MadIvan can change how the title appears in the listing, which is good!
Hi Miss Marple! I'm so proud--I just got the formal boot from the trailer park site!

I’m seeing it too BG, and it’s heart-wrenching. If they want to go, go, but they should leave with dignity.
