You guys are soooo right about Askel5. She's a real pain in the ass. All she does is ruin threads with her abortion this and abortion that. You guys at the Network were so right on to target Askel5 to be run off the FAB--good job, BTW, she quit shortly after the Network targeted her.
The Network's bullying and harrassment of those who don't toe the line has been quite successful in drawing people to your events. I mean, averaging 80 attendees per national event (the cruise and Friva) is a testament to how well folks have taken to the Network's 'STFUP or we'll run you off' attitude.
You guys are the best! Who's next?

We disagreed with her about something, she quit shortly thereafter, and it's our fault.
So if I quit the Forum tomorrow, it'll be Askel5's and your fault, right?

This is simply a lie. My "bullying and harrassment" consisted of trying to prevent Askel5 from hijacking this thread. Obviously neither of you can stand to see that the FRIVA attendees were impressed and had a good time.
If we're the bullies, how is it that you attack our threads and we leave yours alone or bump them? Also, our guys presented your chapter with an award last weekend and never said a disparaging word. Would you have been capable of such courtesy?

Kristinn, I had some respect for you once, but between your blind support of AntiFreeper Connie's lies and slander, your dishonesty, and your relentless attacks on your fellow conservatives, it's gone now.

Hi kristinn. How'd you like your award? You must be very proud of your Chapter of the Year Award.
To: kristinn
kristinn,
Sour grapes doesn't suit you.
Sure there are significant disagreements amoung FReepers about how we are to be organized and how we conduct ourselves, but when we loose sight of the real objective of advancing our common cause of liberty, then we all loose.
It pained me greatly to not be able to include the DC chapter in the conference slide show presentation (at your request), as I consider your hard work and dedication in "getting in the face" of our National leaders on their home turf to be an integral part of the FreeRepublic team. But I honored the agreement between the DC chapter and FRN as best I could, even when it left a huge whole in the FReeper story.
I hope that you guys can find it in your heart to work with FRN and not against it. It is far from perfect, but without it we would have one less tool to fight the good fight against liberalism and for freedom and justice.

It's not so much that they "ran me off" the FAB. I was perfectly happy to be the skunk at the party. It just became too depressing for words, that's all. Life is too short. Plus, it was easier to keep some suspension of disbelief going if I weren't privy to the FAB threads. (Too much the Pollyanna for my own good, perhaps.)
At least now they're upfront about the fact it's our duty to embrace the "winning" tactics of Bolsheviks and tailor our strategies to the left's playing field.
