Is Free Republic a Fraud? Is it time for Free Republic to go away?

Say what?? You accused Clarity of breech [sic] of attorney-client privilege above. Now you're changing your tune? LOL If things are getting too complicated, I saw lots of more simple-minded threads floating around this morning.

BTW, it's breach. Did you say you were a court reporter or some such thing? Pleeeeease correct me if I'm wrong. LOL

Some people speak of an open forum, where anybody can post a message about any subject they want, as long as they abide by a few simple rules (obscenities, spamming, etc.) Well gee, that's just dandy--but that isn't FR.

It used to be FR, except that posts had to be more or less political. It worked darned well, too.

Here at FR we limit the discussion to topics that are important to us, and we even limit the opinions to the opinions that we hold dear.

We who? Did you buy the place?

Think that's fascist? Don't like living under the 24/7 watchful eye of the moderators? Well then shove off, sweetie, because that's what we got here and we like it.

You know, in the kind of heavily moderated forum of which you speak, telling somebody to shove off for so little cause would undoubtedly be a banning offense. Funny you should advocate something that clearly even you don't wish to abide by. Or are you a Sacred Moderator yourself?

[Howlin]

I did no such thing. I said good to see YOU admit your part in it. I would suspect, even if some of it were true -- which I doubt, you've conveniently distorted what was said to suit your own agenda. Can you say OUT OF CONTEXT?

You're right, it is BREACH; I care so little about responding to you, I didn't even bother to proofread.

Now, answer MY question.

[John Robinson]

Howdy LOTF,

Where was the thread titled "FRucker Crimes" posted? Do you still have a link? And would you post it if you do. Thanks.

[aligyrl-02]

This thread isn't about me, sweetie. It's about FR.

If you want to stray off-topic, there's a thread ready and waiting for you on AFWA.

Hey John!

You know, I don't know if that thread's still around or not. If memory serves me correctly, I believe it was on TTC. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You may or may not know that a couple of the proprietors over there deleted a bunch of threads the other day. Last I heard, they were waiting for EZboard to restore what got nuked.

If the thread was on AFWAA it's still there, because I haven't deleted anything. You're welcome to look for it, but I honestly believe that was pre-AFWAA.

BTW, did you save it in your database? That might be the quickest way to run it down.

[Jim Robinson]

I have no idea. I doubt that a lawyer would disclose confidential client information and I doubt Brian would join in any games to defame me or FR. I have no idea where the email message came from. I would hope that no more of our communications get posted. I will be asking our new lawyer to contact Brian on Monday to see if he knows anything about this. Thanks

Eschoir might crow, "expoliation of evidence" but I do understand that is beyond your control.

BTW, did you save it in your database?

I'm sure you have your wires crossed; I never had a database of TTC. Wish I had saved at least some of those gems, though.

[firewalk]

Wow! This thread is still going! LOL!

[Jim Robinson]

Yes, they are indeed having a field day. They think they've got something and they're tearing at it like a pack of wild dogs. Well, we'll see how it all unfolds eventually. Thanks, Jim

[mountaineer]

Why should we go over to AFWAA, register and post when we're already here?

[Ratatoskr]

Nonsense. FR has always been quick to boot people who were out of line.

Nonsense. Your memory is faulty.

You know, in the kind of heavily moderated forum of which you speak, telling somebody to shove off for so little cause would undoubtedly be a banning offense.

LOL. Oh, undoubtedly . . GOOD POINT!

You guys . .

THE BLOOD OF TYRANTS MUST BE CRUSHED!

Wish I had saved at least some of those gems, though.

Yeah, there were some classics over there. Hopefully they'll get it restored. Unfortunately, the restore date is supposed to be 11-19, I believe. HH deleted a LOT of stuff before that, so I have no idea about the probability of recovering the thread in question.

[aligyrl-02]

Some people, with their short attention spans, keep trying to change the subject of this thread. I created a thread at AFWA where they can ask their questions regarding anything anti-freeper, so we can stay on topic, but they keep forgetting, so I keep reminding. LOL
