JoeEveryman and the Anti-FReeper Attack on Free Republic

Various Anti-FReeper sites | August 10, 2002 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

The anti-FReepers are on the prowl. As most of you know, there is a group of ex-FReepers who have been dogging us for the last several years. The anti-FReeper community was started several years ago by a group of disgruntled individuals who were banned from FR and then wanted to get back at us by damaging our reputation. This started out as petty name calling and rumor mongering, but they now appear determined to cause us as much harm as possible. Even to the point of attempting to get FR and FRN shut down and the owners and managers of the organizations bankrupted or jailed.

Some of the early members of the group include ex-FReepers Mojo, Aligyrl, Landshark, Z2, Headhunter, LindaM, and others who have come and gone over the years. The most recent additions to active anti-FReeping appear to be ex-FReepers Clarity, Clinton's a Liar and JoeEveryman.

There appears to be a certain love/hate relationship involved here. Some of these people hate FR and its PTB (that's "Powers That Be" in their lingo) with such passion that they cannot stay away. Some of the original members of the AF community have given up and drifted off, some have come back to FR, and some are as determined as ever to kill FR and have me and whomever else they can thrown into prison for whatever crimes they imagine us guilty. Their motivation is pure revenge. Their driving force is hatred.

Their current attack is centered around an attempt to break up the Free Republic Network and, through that angle, to cause as much damage to FR as possible. Unfortunately for all of us, there is a genuine problem with the ex-leader of the South Carolina Chapter. Apparently, there was some money collected for events that was never paid over to the vendors and the chapter leader is accused of taking off with the money. I am not going into all of the gory details here, but I understand that there is an official police investigation ongoing and the SC Chapter and the FRN are cooperating fully with the authorities. The anti-FReepers, led by JoeEveryman, are trying to gain maximum leverage from any fallout from this case and are attempting to use it to bring down FRN.

JoeEveryman ran an FR thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/728856/posts) last week on this subject. I eventually deleted it because it was turning into an anti-FReeper haven and I do not want that on FR. The anti-FReepers have plenty of their own websites to conduct their hate campaign. Those who are interested may find JoeEveryman (posting as "Panjandrum") on the LibertyPost.org forum, now appearing to be the latest home of the anti-FReeper community. I have undeleted the JoeEveryman thread for those who are interested in reading it, but have left it locked. I do not want any more anti-FReeping activity on FR.

JoeEveryman is now banned from Free Republic. It is clear on the thead that he ran here on FR and on this (http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readarticle.cgi?114+1485+0+1) thread on LibertyPost.org that his intent is to bring FR down and to cause us as many legal problems as he can. I cannot see allowing him to do this on my own website.

It appears to me that they are either preparing some sort of lawsuit and or are trying to entangle me, Bob J, FR and FRN into the SC case. None of us had anything to do with whatever wrongdoing may have taken place in SC. The South Carolina Chapter is an independent entity, as are all of the FR chapters, and neither FR nor FRN have any ownership or control over their activities. It appears that the anti-FReepers are trying to break that down. We'll see. FRN is cooperating fully with the authorities and I will too if they ask.

In the meantime, I do not want them scheming on FR so they are banned and will remain banned. I will also ban any other FR members who get actively engaged in this attempt to bring down FR.

A request to all. Please do not drag any of the anti-FReeper stuff to FR. I do not want it here.

Free Republic has withstood many attacks over the years, from both the left and the right and I am confident that we will survive this attack from this Free Republic Haters Association as well.

Thanks for your continued support.

They are losers, and we are all the better when their accounts are banned.

Amen, tell it all.

Inert means he now has a prescription for Viagra... (I think).

[beowolf]

They have attached their egos to your success and then, when they have a falling out with you, they attach their egos to your demise.

By Gosh....I think you've got it, Watson!-)

[wattsmag2]

Yes, but inert also means he hasn't filled it yet.

[beowolf]

Put that match away ..

What greater gift to mankind than to make the ephemeral, eternal? If JFK deserves an eternal flame...so does harrowup! What finer tribute could there be?-)

[AnnaZ]

Actually, it's a composite.

 

;^)

[logos]

If JFK deserves an eternal flame...so does harrowup!

In a round-about way you answered your own unasked question; i.e., JFK does not deserve an eternal flame, ergo...

OK. But don't blame me when they start calling you "bluewolf".

[beowolf]

LOL...after about 4 hours on the bike, I feel like that should be my name!-)

[wattsmag2]

Ouch, hope you don't have hemorrhoids.

[beowolf]

ergo...

Geeze...tough crowd. It's getting harder and harder ( oops, bad choice of words given the 'inert' problem ) to hide a subtle flame around here!-)

[dixie sass]

I think thats more than I needed to know!

[dixie sass]

Please, if you are going to make remarks about the South Carolina Chapter and what happened, please check your facts first. Only one person knew and chose not to tell her fellow chapter members.

[DeadManRunning]

who/what now?!?!?

[A Navy Vet]

My apologies for even mentioning it. I've had up to here with their crap and now insinuating they'll be lurking around the FRN conference. I want just one of them to walk up to JR or Bob J or JohnRob and tell them they're a crook right to their face. Just one.

[AuntB]

What the hell? Clinton' a Liar???? For real? I've been absent most of the past few weeks, but boy things can change in a hurry around here.

Jim, I'll never live to be old enough to outgrow being so naive. I'll never understand how one can reach a hand out in friendship, like you've done by providing this forum, only to have it "bitten" by those who were so glad to have it in the first place. These people remind me of stalkers. I wouldn't want to be somewhere I wasn't wanted. I've noticed the people in my life who nag and bellyache all the time are the same ones who just KEEP coming back. I'll never understand it. Never. Jim, just tell 'em what I do..."IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY PEACHES, DON'T SHAKE MY TREE"

etta alla da udders

Put that match away ..

Disdimble you cretins.

This ain't no chem-lab. We is talking 'bout the quiet beauty of an island paradise...and certainly some of you navy fellers would remember a few blissful moments in the shade of a jungle can 'o pee.

And for what it is worth? While I was blamed for blowing up the still on the Island, I did not do so out of pique...beowolf gave me the matches and told me to stick my head in the still and find his gold tooth (his only tooth, by the way) and I of course, being a compassionate and caring liberal, sought to be of service.

And stop making jokes about sheep...it isn't all fun and games being a herder...they poops in your boots.

Standing a little close to the rear eh?

[harrowup]

Good to note someone else has a crude sense of humor. Do you know how to make an image appear from that link? I need to look up the html manual...or is it the ascii that Mojo claims is like an oriental cockroach or at least asian...that he has in his basement apartment.

[bootless]

. I feel like I'm at Chuckles the Clown's funeral.

Okay, now you've done it! I can't stop laughing, and I fear I will soon snort!

To Syncro: You're doing grate.
