Wow, you are one warped puppy.
The only venon in our little conversation has been from you, mainly because I asked you directly, why are you here if you felt the owner was a scam artist?
You still have not answered the question.
Instead, you focus on me. My point was made very clearly,the poster in question can spend his money freely, without any advice from you.
And your “advice” was not motivated by charity—but merely used as a springboard to launch a baseless attack on the owner.
You don’t like being unmasked, sweetie, but get used to it.
Your schtick doesn’t work here.
If you don’t like it here, stop stinking up the joint and take a hike.
No one is forcing you to be here.
Start your own website. It’s a free republic, after all.
The only person using the word "scam" in our conversation is you.
Free Republic is set up as an LLC. While I certainly am no lawyer, my general sense is that corporations have obligations to account for their finances. As DJ MacPuppyDog keeps saying, a budget has been made public. However a budget is not accounting. Not being a lawyer, I don't know what state and federal laws require as regards disclosure. So let me put it this way. For $376,000 a year in donations, it certainly is not too much to ask JR to ensure that his donor base is treated with courtesy and respect -- even if some happen to hold opinions that differ from his opinions and those of his gleeful zottgeist crowd. And when those new servers finally do make an appearance, a thread proudly showing off photos of them would be a nice touch.
