In-House Wars: For at least one, the goal was to drive people away.

Do you two really want to keep carrying on publicly like this? It's not a pretty sight.

[terilyn]

LOL! All I could think of was Howard popping in to their apt and saying, "I did it Bob!"

[Dominic Harr]

He sent me a 'private' FReepmail that was so full of words you can't say on television I was hoping that this thread might be a chance to deal with that without having to go the authorities, so to speak.

If I'm bothering ya'll, I will drop it. Perhaps I should have just let the admins handle it in the first place. But I'm just not really that kind of guy, I try to work this kind of stuff out myself.

I'm truly sorry for annoying you. I won't post to this thread again.

I have to wonder about the need for the "Find in Forum" feature to begin with. Why do others really need to know where a particular poster has been posting?

On the other hand, a "Find in Thread" feature can be very helpful on long threads, in preventing statements from being taken out of context and thereby aiding in flame control.

lol !

Thank you, .30Carbine for taking the time to bring RightOnGOP's wise words back to this thread ... for the second time ... and they still seem, sadly ignored ... I knew I was close in quoting him ... but his exact words have so much more impact. Plus ... now I know who said them!!

See. This is the power of FreeRepublic .... you never know how or when your thoughts and words can catch another's ... and make them think ... and ACT!

I am not usually vocal ... liking to stay in the hinterlands and listen, then learn ... then ACT ... but, I digress ... here's RightOnGOP's words ... brought to you by him then by me, poorly ... then returned to their very appropriate orginal form by .30Carbine ... maybe they might help to redirect this spectacularly confusing thread ....

"NO SINGLE FR POST HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ELECT REPUBLICANS/CONSERVATIVES. BUT A SINGLE FR POSTER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REGISTER REPUBLICANS,AND GET VOTES BY HELPING!"

If only we would harness all the angst flying around these days ... and really DO something to grease the wheels of justice ... baby steps back to what is right .... I am going to be an election judge! ... in Maryland! ... and I find fault with much of Ehrlich's core beliefs ... but I have to start somewhere ... years and years of liberal wax ... clouding up the cherrywood floor, here ...

Come on, people ... 8 years of stupified anger is ENOUGH ... the time is now to move our agenda along ... who's your Reps?! Who's up for election in your part of the Country?! ... what Repubs in your area are running?! ... what are you doing ... to get them IN ... get them in?! ... we'll all sort it out later ...

We here, at FreeRepublic ... can weed out the ringers in a heartbeat ... after we win both Houses back !!!!...

I ... none of us ... should care who among us said what to who .... it's not important ... 60 YEARS of liberal decay is marching right up behind us ... we are at WAR ... the time is NOW ... NOW! ... stop the silly madness ...

Nuts ... I sound nuts ... but the energy spent here on this thread for the last couple of days ... so many bright and dedicated Conservatives ... with a few not so wondrous folks ... could have been spent in so many better ways ... it's ground zero time ...and we're letting the gold ring fly right by why we fight amongst ourselves ....

Another account that I suspect ned had was under the screename "humblethefiend".

I had suspected "humblethefiend" for a long time. I even called him on it HERE.

You'll notice I usually avoided posting to him or on his threads. It's interesting to look back at the thread linked or his other threads to see who enjoyed exchanging posts with him and who avoided him.

I have reverted to lurking becuse I have sensed that there is both a concerted and focused effort on the part of organized "opinion shapers" as well as those that "get their rocks off" inciting flames wars et. al.

In a post that I offered some time ago, i indicated that I was watching certain individuals that seem to use the same invectives and demeaning language, althought there were different screen names. Several people sent me frep-mail and told me that I was both correct and crazy (I prefer to think of myself as being correct). Free Republic is an anathma to the liberals. It is therefore not surprising that there would be effrots to deride and derail its existance and mission. But, it continues. The resiliance of this forum often astounds me. But, vigilance is eternal. Freepers have to be painfully aware that there will continue to be those, whose mission in life is to incite flame wars and at their most successful, sic the law on obtuse statements that are made in the heat of the moment. The largest liberal victory would be for Free Republic to pull the plug. So, we cannot let that happen.

Semper Fi

***So, we cannot let that happen.***

And I think that was the overall message of the moderator's comments.
