I read all of your hysterical commentary, and I also agree with OhReally, as he noted that for someone who bitched nonstop about not being able to access Free Republic, your posts indicated that you could.
In fact, a quick review of your comments shows that you were posting on more than one thread within minutes of each other, several times. But you said you couldn't. You remarked that your system was sloooooooooooow, and yet, it wasn't so slow that you didn't keep returning. You bitched about getting a migraine and how awful the colors were, yet said you couldn't see most of the pages, and you guttersniped at participants and the owner of Free Republic when it was uncalled for.
I have been around Free Republic myself for a while and rarely have I encountered anyone as obnoxious as you were on this thread, nor anyone who contradicted themselves so many times in one place. Your reaction seemed no more than a cry-baby tantrum because you choose to use equipment that a majority of users don't use.
Fortunately for you, it worked. You must be very proud of yourself for standing up for your rights and demanding that you get your money's worth from Free Republlic, or else. It's been a valuable lesson for me in the art of tactical website warfare, so I do thank you for that.
I stayed on that one thread. There was no waving flag, no blue-grey background, with pale blue lettering ( which made it VERY difficult to read ) , so that problem was removed.
Going from thread to thread, too a VERY long load time, loger than from posting to getting back to the thread, so there went another problem ... i.e. my unit shutting off.
I didn't DEMAND a fix; I just complained, on a thread, I might add, whose topic was specifically COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CHANGE ! I stuck to the topic. Ergo, after whatever length your stay as been here, you still don't understand how FR works . Please, permit me to explain it to you. You see, a thread gets posted The article or opinion of the thread is whatever starts that thread off. To be correct, FREEPERS then debate / talk about / discuss the TOPIC of that thread. I AM NOT THE TOPIC ! Your opinion of me, is also NOT the topic. Naughty, naughty you. : - )
I do so hope that this has been instructive.
