Underground freepmail campaign by unknown disgruntled FReeper
freepmail | 01/16/2011 | Mrs Dogood

Posted on 01/16/2011 11:49:56 AM PST by Jim Robinson

Hello. You don’t know me under this name. For reasons that are going to be obvious soon, I didn’t wish to send you this message with my usual Free Republic account. This message is an invitation, a welcome to a new forum called TrueBlueFreedom.com

While I love the people who make up Free Republic, I have many complaints about Jim Robinson and his cronies who run the actual website. Over and over again, whenever somebody has complained or offered suggestions, they have been told by JimRob and others to go and start their own website if they know so much. Well, I’ve decided to take them up on that offer.

I’ve started TrueBlueFreedom.com for three simple reasons, and once you’ve read those reasons, I’m sure you’ll agree that we need to make a few adjustments if we want this powerful bastion of conservatism to remain. The first reason is simple: Free Republic is too important to left in the hands of JimRob. Jim and his son John have repeated stated that if just one Freepathon goal isn’t met, that’s it - “Free Republic will be dead.” I can’t stand the idea of America without Free Republic. Imagine if we hadn’t been there when Dan Rather was passing around his forgeries, how different things would be today. Now realize that, as things are going, we won’t be around when the next Rathergate happens. We can’t allow that to happen, and since JimRob has publicly refused to deal with this issue, we have to take matters into our own hands. My solution is TrueBlueFreedom.com

The second reason is that I believe that free market capitalism has made America great, and that attempting any other system will lead us to ruin. A belief JimRob apparently doesn’t share, since he continues to refuse to place ads on Free Republic and instead depend on a PBS-esque donation system. We are not NPR, and we are not a charity – why do we raise money like one? For this reason, I’ve developed TrueBlueFreedom.com to depend on advertisements. TrueBlueFreedom.com will not depend on donations, instead, we will depend on the opportunities provided by the free market to create a self-sustaining version of Free Republic – without the constant Freepathons.

The third reason is that JimRob is, in my opinion, a petty tyrant. How many of you know somebody who was purged? How many wonder if you may be next on the list? If you’re neither of these people, consider this: Giuliani was America’s Mayor in 2008. That didn’t stop JimRob from purging all his supporters without warning. How do you know that whoever you support in the Republican primaries won’t raise JimRob’s wrath? How do you know the next purge group won’t be Mormons, Jews, Birthers, Pro-Palin, Anti-Palin, and so on? I believe that purging the non-believers and demanding total mental agreement with the “Dear Leader” is the exact opposite of conservative values, regardless of where JimRob stands on abortion and homosexuality. And for that reason, I’ve set up TrueBlueFreedom.com as a place where conservatives who follow the rules will not be banned, no matter how much I disagree with them. Regardless of your politics, religion, or favorite sport team, you will only be banned for breaking the rules. TrueBlueFreedom.com is a purge-free zone.

So, I hope you’ve read all this, and will accept my invitation. If this seems like something you can believe in, come to TrueBlueFreedom.com, sign up, and start talking. And if you like it, spread the word. Because Free Republic is too important to just let die.

No, I am not trying to vouch for anyone!!! although I dont care for the method this person used, so what?

It does not affect FR in anyway. I just dont understand what everyone is so upset about. Dont like the site dont go to it for gosh sakes.

We know Jim is not a petty tyrant. FR will be here long after that site goes down.

Dont try to say something that I am not. I am just trying to be fair and unbiased and report some things I have seen for myself on that site and it does appear to be what it claims to be. Only time will tell wont it?

PP, I would stake my honor that Windflier is innocent of the charge you make. I would bet everything I own and I'd WIN. I've enjoyed Windflier's insight and humor -- not to mention his opinionsm which are uncannily in tandem with my own about 99 percent of the time -- for years. Windflier has behaved in an honorable way always, and the ideas and morals he stands up for are always honorable, as well.

Where exactly was it that you got lost in the conversation?

Post 1063 Me: But you seem to want to believe that a person who would troll for posters on another site while bad mouthing it has honorable intentions. You also want to believe they are conservative. I'm not buying it.

Post 1079 Your Response: I read that particular person’s postings. Although he seems to have some personal issues with Jim, he by and large has defended him. By his tone, like I said before, it seems that he is hurt/feels betrayed by FR.

Have you bothered to look? for your self than to rely on others?

I am just trying to see both sides that is all. Dont accuse me of something I am not doing.

Would it make you feel better if I resorted to name calling the backstabber as you so eloquently posted? If you check my posts, I never resort to that ever!

You seem to be proving some of their accusations over there that if you dont agree with certain freepers (and by the way you were named as one of those people), you can and will be zotted. And no, I do not think it was “honorable” of that person, although I dont measure honor by your standards.

NOTE TO JIMROB: I am not defending anyone over there. I am just pointing out that people have a different point of view. However I do not agree with the avenue this person took. You have every right to feel betrayed and hurt by all of this.

I trust the info that I'm getting from another Freeper.

I haven't. Why are you dancing? I specifically asked in Post 1107 where you got lost in the conversation and you come back with accusations and caveats. What's the deal?

“You have every right to feel betrayed and hurt by all of this.”

Why? All they’re doing is talking about US. It’s like LPost. All they do is discuss US.

They’ve nothing better to do...

If there is a miscommunication here I am sorry ok?

“I trust the info that I’m getting from another Freeper.”

No offence but I dont. I tend to check things out for myself thank you very much. People have gotten things wrong here before and I like to do my own verifying.

Very sorry if we had some mis-understanding.

You think betrayal is honorable? And what names did I call them? You are VERY defensive.

Looks like a HUGE one. That happens when all one has is the written word and no facial expressions.

No offence but I dont.

That's because you don't know who it is. And I can't say.

Very sorry if we had some mis-understanding.

It sure looks like crossed wires to me. I accused you of nothing. Ever. You got defensive because you thought that I did. It happens.

The keyboard warriors here are something else. You write as if there is great personal trauma fighting some battle from home. Those of us that have fought in real, shooting wars can easily recognize who we would trust at our side in tough times. Want to guess where I'd place you and the other humor mongers?

IMHO any post that doesn't support the goals of this forum are a distraction, waste of time and don't belong here. Please find a kind and gentle chat room somewhere.

I never said any one of us were fighting a battle. What we ARE doing is reading news and watching our country destroyed before our very eyes. But I guess you don't believe that's traumatic or disheartening.

Thank God that you don't run FR! And you don't!

No, there is usually a wide smile upon my face. That results from the satisfaction that I've made a positive difference in the endeavors that I've chosen to pursue. While the key board warriors entertain each other with childish humor, some of us have fought real battles.

Sounds good to me. - Let’s start with the ‘Concern Trolls’ that inhabit the Palin threads.

My only question is “when does the cleansing begin?”

Tyrant sounds like a made-to-order job title for the task at hand!
