JoeEveryman and the Anti-FReeper Attack on Free Republic
Various Anti-FReeper sites | August 10, 2002 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 08/10/2002 1:29:46 PM PDT by 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.

Jim

I really didn't plan on posting again until Jim took what I considered an unfair shot at a competing forum.

LibertyPothole is a sham. It has been swarmed by a half dozen nuthatches from afConistan, Cal and her insecure escort.

If you should ask Neil the same questions you ask JR you will be probed and then threatened with banning and then banned.

What better way to scorch your perceived enemies, than to have you OTHER enemies carry the torches and light the fires?

btw, you always did great at summing things up concisely. Nice job.

Anti-Freepers, what do they stand for other than being anti-freeper? Seems that if that is all they are into a lot of wasted energy is being expended in hate that surely would be better used against the creeping onslaught by the leftists against our Constitution.

I cannot believe that a fine former FReeper like Clinton's a Liar would ever waste her time working against this web-site that she fully participated in with enormous vigor.

Nick,

Thank you for the circumspect, but also clear, update on the situation. You have always been a class act around these parts.

In the last couple of days, we have listened to many comments about a few people. Unfortunatly, since the March for Justice in 1998, hundreds of outstanding Freepers are no longer with us.

I have always supported Free Republic and will continue to do so. However, not to find this a little disturbing, would be less than honest.

Very well said. My sentiments exactly. Here's to my freeper friends who are no longer with us on FR. I miss them terribly.

Clintons A Liar
Clarity
Don Morgan

And the list goes on .... Oh where, oh where have my freeper friends gone, oh where, oh where can they be?

You are right, PTBs come and go depending on when their particular Ox is gored. I've been here since 67 and can attest that many who thought themselves high and mighty are now merely AWL (Absent With Leave).

Remember when Nav offered to host an antifreeper site for those wackos last year? I bet he is thankful they didn't take him up on the offer now. Imagine him trying to put a leash 'got_pus'.

ps: I haven't thought of Warrant in years! eeek.

Good point. He is so paranoid he makes the other anti-freepers look like run of the mill psychotics. He insists that folks give him a ''real" address and yet he sends his email through an AOL filter.

He brags about not having a Pennsylvania Driver License...and lives in Maryland. He banned me for asking him questions about the financing of his website.

They aren't a 'competing' website. They are a soap box for wing nuts and crackpots.

It is exactly this mindset that has led to all this crap.

Are you suggesting that details of an ongoing criminal investigation be made public?

just remember that you are just another in a long, long line of 'inner groups' that have existed here at FR.

Just remember that you are just another in a long, long line of folks who have charged "elitism" and "cabal" when anybody tries to advance this cause beyond mere internet chatting. Personally, I don't see any reason why the competitive spirit prevails here. Considering that we're all ostensibly working toward the same end, I would think co-operation should be the order of the day.

There is no organization on earth that publishes every word that transpires between its members. If you have any specific questions about particular issues, I'll always try to answer them to the best of my ability, or to find the answers if I don't have them.

Fair enough?

Place me in the group: "Clinton's a Liar (CAL) is an Anti-Freeper?"

I don't pretend to know exactly what transpired....from what I understand it was a behind the scenes problem.

... anti-social ...

You are of course correct, but far too kind.

You are just a coal stoker. That seems to be your purpose, that seems to be your goal. I have yet to see a conversation or situation where you actually have anything to add....other than fuel for any particular fire that is burning at the moment.
