I understand there is a new anti-freeper site started by disgruntled former and present Mormon FReepers and it is their intention of bankrupting FR during the coming Freepathon by withholding their donations and disrupting our activities. Well, all I can say is, if they feel that badly against FR, by all means they should withhold their donations and drop out of FR. But it they attempt to disrupt our operations I will guarantee they will no longer be members of FR. If that is their wish, so be it.
I'm not going to try to defend FR from their claims of religious persecution, but I will say that Mormons have and always have had free reign to post their threads on FR just as all other religious groups have enjoyed. Free Republic defends the right to freedom of religion and has always welcomed religious discussion and always will. And Mormons have always been welcome here. I have absolutely nothing against Mormons.
If you are one who has left or is leaving, I wish you well, but disruption of FR is not welcome and will not be tolerated.
And this is not the first time such activity has been attempted by groups of disgruntled former FReepers. Good luck with that. There is always some group that feels FR should be bent to their way of thinking and end up saying my way or the highway. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not changing so I guess it's the highway. Is it Feb 8 yet?
God bless.
Congrats...
FR is too big to fail...oh no the Obamaites will find out and send Timmy Chavez over to regulate us...
While you make a valid point the problem is the almost constant attacks by them to those who don’t support Mitt based not on his religion but his non-conservative values, socialism.
They come on to Palin threads to trash her.
There was another LDS freeper who personally threatened JR with some kind of court action. Needless to say he was Zotted. I’m sure it will come up later in this thread...

Sez who?
Who is this “the Mormons”? I’m Mormon, and I haven’t heard of any consipiracy among the “the Mormons” ....
If ANYONE is used to taking criticism with a smile, it’s the Mormons. This is bogus that were going to get even w/freepers by disrupting thier blog?????
We follow our God and Savior Jesus Christ. If any of you have a problem with that .... Sorry! Try China ... they love religious intolerance over there!
Man you guys have got a reputation it almost makes you celebrity the way things go in this society.
I read that List and it was eerie because I am sure it is none of the Kids I play with!
A pledge isn’t a legally-recognized debt in all states, I don’t think. There is, however, a thing called integrity. I doubt Jim Robinson would even want to enforce a pledge made by someone morally opposed to a future contribution based even upon a misapprehension of the website’s intentions.
Ping to this site to see your name listed as being a “Mormon-hater”.
Scroll almost halfway down on the right.

Do you have access to that post where some freeper threatened JR with a lawsuit? I can’t even remember the name of the guy who did it.
What do you think...? ;)
Not fair!
I've been as anti-Mormon as anyone, I should be on the list!
Thanks for the heads up. For some reason, I enjoy gigging twits. And I’m sorry, but starting a blog to monitor “anti-morman posts on FR qualifies one as a twit.
Neither have I - some folks just have very thin skin.
I am British and read insulting posts every single day here about Britain. Perhaps I should start an anti-FR campaign. LOL!
Keep up the good work, Jim!
LOL ouch.
I was feeling insignificant there for a moment....
The fact that you consider this an honor is disturbing.
That's what I said. Maybe it's because of our admiration for Donny and Marie, who according to a PARADE magazine ad this morning, had lost 45lbs!
Self-righteousness is the exclusive property of no religion. It can be found in as much abundance among atheists, agnostics, and former religionists as it can among Catholics, Mormons, and fundamentalist Christians.
I stay clear of the religion-tainted threads at FR not because I have a low opinion of religious belief, but because I have a low opinion of religious conservatives who cannot see that attacking each other they are advancing the liberal agenda in powerful ways.
And that’s all I’m going to say about that. Out of here.
