Goodbye Freerepublic...

I can tell that Freerepublic has started spiraling into hysteria similar to what I sensed around the 2008 election time.... I'll check back in in 2013 to see if things simmered down.

Wasn’t aware there were promotions based on posts.

When you hit 50,000 posts you get the George Foreman grill. You didn't know?

Barkeep, I'll have what he's having!

[JRandomFreeper]

Not sure how writing snarky comments is a waste of time.

And can be fun, mostly when you leave the troll where we get to play with it before or after it is dead.

Or when the Sidebar Moderator turns out to actually be alive, and not drowned.

Keep 'em going.

Hillary Clinton polled over 15% of Free Republic members as their 1st choice for the next US President

Yeah, but they thought they were voting for Pat Buchanan.

under a different name though....

Eschoir?!

ACtually, come to think of it, the handle does sound familiar somehow.

Venting for attention and looking for kudos.

I've dipped into my personal "well of patience" too many times, and it's run dry, when it comes to attacks on Jim.

I meant ever precise word I quickly wrote on the FReepathon thread today about his honesty and integrity, and by God, our faithful membership agrees with me and doesn't need me to write it, and those less faithful will certainly come around in time to realize I'm right, --- it's too damn obvious and plain for all to see if they would just reflect and think!

There’s similar, but not with the _sa on the end.

[JRandomFreeper]

ASH ALERT!

Sorry, that was a reflex.

SOMEBODY owes me two grills.

I agree. If a person uses FR it is the mature thing to do to treat the owner with respect. If someone doesn’t like what FR is, walk away.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I don’t understand it. If you don’t like what’s going on simply avoid being here.

What I understand is that this Country is being torn apart, ripped to shreds, we have no sign of anyone who can possibley recover it (save maybe Gingrich)

Many here at FR are being torn apart by purposeful division, we're letting it happen yet we think we're smart.

No, we're being played by obama and the very tactics we all thought he would employ,

We're letting them win yet we profess to know better.

That’s Powers Boothe playing Curly Bill Brocius in the movie Tombstone.

[GeronL]

Maybe.

[EternalVigilance]

Well, okay.

And since you're so prolific we're throwing in the shishkabobs at no additional cost!

[Sidebar Moderator]

Reports to the contrary notwithstanding, I’m still not drowning ;-)

[DJ MacWoW]

There have been very loud disagreements before. This isn’t new. What you’re seeing is fear. Some are nearly hysterical. And it’s only April. The fear is being stoked by the press and the elites. I don’t have TV. More FReepers should turn theirs off. AND the radio. Stop buying the newspaper. I refuse to pay the MSM for propaganda and fear.

“We scream at one another on line...”

An advantage of the internet...no duels at 30 paces!

[JRandomFreeper]

I cried that day when I saw the headline. I went and bought flowers. (I had money back then)

And then I read the article.

You know, typical freeper stuff.

I'm glad that you are doing better from the dead and drowned thing.
