Jim Robinson has indicated that he opposes U.S. involvement in the Russia v. Ukraine war. But he did not say, that Freepers who agree with him, may disregard his code of conduct and badger other posters.
Recently, the Congress has aggressively been pursuing a course to enact and impose Internet forum rules of conduct. FreeRepublic can benefit, now, by setting a good example, adhering to Jim Robinson's rules - thereby affirming that his rules work, without federal intervention.
Don’t you wag your finger at me, buddy. Talk to the Canadian guy who can’t stop violating Jim’s request to cease calling us Americans names like “Russia apologists” or Putinistas.” These are inflammatory false accusations.
“Zeeper” is merely a term for “Zelensky-aligned FReeper.” The only ones who would be insulted by that are those of us who do *not* support Zelensky and his constant demands for our American dollars.
I don’t use “neocon” or “globohomo” and I don’t owe *you* any explanation.
I had thought of you as one of the few reasonable zeepers, but you have set me straight on that. Thank you for the clarification.
