Okay, apparently we can’t let it go.

I NEVER participate in or read the Texas forum because I think it gets too insular. So I can’t speak to anything that happened there.

However, as an avid Perry supporter, I read every word of every Perry thread.

I don’t remember you as a disrupter or on the threads at all. However, if you did come on Perry threads for the sole purpose of insulting Perry and his supporters, you might have received some well-earned criticism.

Most of that merry little band who had the ping list only posted childish and vulgar insults and never said anything substantive.

I don’t know who you’re talking about as being the person who accused Jim Rob of stuff or had a blog. Maybe it was on the Texas forum.

The two or three people on the main forum who posted Rick Perry threads were very nice, polite even to disrupters and as far as I can tell from on-line posts were simply supporting their candidate.

I know that no one on the Perry threads did or said the things they’ve been accused of on this forum. I really didn’t intend to post about it anymore. It is ancient history but he who forgets history is doomed to repeat it.

The anti-Perry crowd were the nastiest, meanest and most shameless people I have ever encountered on Free Republic and I’ve been here a long time and through some furious battles.

As far as the Texas threads are concerned, I stayed off them. If you had problems there, I’m sorry, but don’t accuse people on the main forum.

You are not on the list of vicious trolls I made and neither is the Norm dude.

I’ll let it drop if you guys will, but I don’t like for lies about Perry supporters to go unchallenged.

There are rotten apples in any group, but very few among Perry supporters. Now, Cain supporters would just as soon shoot you as look at you, but that’s an old story too.

You posted in pro-Perry threads he started based on his blog posts and he posted responses in pro-Perry threads directly to you, such as this one where he responded to a post you made where he said non-Perry supporters were not real Conservatives and were dumb, paid, or Occupy Wall Street types.

You even posted in threads after he was zotted where people were directly talking about his being zotted just a few posts after yours.

We're all getting older though, and maybe it slipped your mind.

I'll be honest with you, if I didn't know people who knew him personally and vouched for his obsession with Perry, I would have thought he was deliberately trying to make Perry supporters look bad. Even though he had been a FReeper since 1998, when he started getting a little crazy and obsessed with any candidates who were threatening Perry, I really did think he was trying to make you all look bad. But he was sincere in his support for Perry and his hatred of everybody else.

At least the other Perry supporters who went too far backed off and/or apologized. But that guy, he needed help. He couldn't even stay away after being banned. Somebody told me he may have been banned up to three times after his first zot. I only saw him reappear once.
