My wierdest memories of FR have always been reading posts by a fellow named A+Bert. He must have been kicked off FR 2 dozen times. Jim Robinson, kind soul, would always let him back on after one or two days of suspension. A+Bert would keep his cool for a day or two and then go off on another rant. I think he eventually joined Jimi Hendrix and kissed the sky.
Can’t resist:
ASH ALERT
I always liked reading A+Bert. He was quite entertaining.
There are many ghosts of Freepers past that made the forum what it is today. I can still find them in cyberspace on different forums.
The flame wars were passionate, exhausting and provided great entertainment. Only the strong survived back then. But that was before we had Mods and abuse buttons..sigh..:)
