No, please explain the ash alert.

Ah, Ash. One of our first dedicated trolls - we didn't even call them that in those days, we called them "disruptors." I really think he was in it only for the fun. Quite a pleasant, cordial fellow in private. Don Morgan would become infuriated with him on a regular basis and post ASH ALERT!! on the thread...like we couldn't figure it out by ourselves.

He's been back under at least one other nick. I recognized his style and very obliquely he admitted it. Truth be told, I kinda liked him. I don't want a board full of people who only agree. Boring. Not that it's too likely around here...

ASH was a liberal poster back in the late 90's who would post anti-conservative news items and attempt to lure Freepers into "debates".
ASH never really debated, just repeated what his post said while trying to anger Freepers so he could cut-and-paste what they said to some other, probably liberal, forum to justify how "bad" conservatives were.
His main tactic was to try to prove Conservative (and Freepers) as hypocrites.

I can't recall the poster would post the ASH ALERTs. It was funny as all get out.
