FR is run by cliquish Mods and Freepers that hurl insults and falsehoods who FB you if you don't agree.

[fightin kentuckian]

The rules say "be considerate" most of the Freepers are anything but, constantly hurling innuendo, names, and insults. But it's my fault or something like that so my threads get pulled without any explanation. And then the mods call me "thick". That's considerate?

I'm a rock solid conservative, retired, 24 year Army Vet, and still work for the Army. I'm a lifetime member of the VFW and NRA. I'm a 20 year contributor to FR and the mods wont even answer a question, but instead call me names and insult me.

My guess is they pulled his thread where he said BLM could do some good on the streets of Minneapolis.

Bureau of Land Management? What could they do? Rustle some cows?

[Bonemaker]

How do you do that?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Never mind. Black Lives Matter. Got it. Brain is on coast today.

“FR is a premier place to get the honor of being insulted at least one a day.“

..... Hear hear!, The winning Internet Post of the day.

[Responsibility2nd]

You still don’t get it do you? See post 80.

The very fact that you haven’t been zotted or at least put on a three day time out is a mystery to me.

[Night Hides Not]

FR is a premier place to get the honor of being insulted at least one a day.

If you're being insulted just once a day, you aren't working hard enough. lol

I remember watching a Robin Williams sketch some years ago in one of his routines, and his split personality is having an argument with itself:

ROBIN 1: I don’t know, I don’t know, what should I do?

ROBIN 2: Oh stop whining! Just strap on a pair and do it!

ROBIN 1: Don’t you talk to me like that!

ROBIN 2: Well, if you didn’t spend all day...

ROBIN 3: SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!

you posed an interesting question since genetics play such an important role in COVID 19

From experience I think that Free Republic is a stealth pay-to-play site. They allow new members to originate X number of threads free. After that you have to toss in.

We’ve seen a recent expansion of threads as COVID lock-ins have lots of time on their hands. They’re newbies still working on their quotas.

There are two choices:
1. Like it.
2. Don’t.

all the suck ups will be stepping all over each other

Huh? Got some names?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I’m wanting to pile on here somewhere to inflame the situation but don’t know which side to take so I’m against all of you. There I said it.

Say you are having barbecue beef with mustard sauce and you are posting using windows 8.

That should get a good flame war started

[Jane Long]

Shhh!

You ALL know the FIRST rule of Fight Blub!

[Bonemaker]

Only from about 5 pm on!😎

[TXnMA]

Thanks, Jim!

It does help to know what the fuss was all about. :-)

Personally, at the first F-word, I'd just have moved on to another thread...

~~~~~~~~~~~

kentuckian, re-read your screed -- as if you were another FReeper. Learn -- and cool it for a while...

[Jane Long]

LOL...oldie, but GOODIE!!

[ScottinVA]

You’ve been around since 2001 and suddenly you’re having a problem with FR?

[Hot Tabasco]

You ALL know the FIRST rule of Fight Blub!

I don't, just what exactly is it?

[Bonemaker]

"Just for medicinal purposes." Me too...which I have everday.😎

[Jane Long]

Still wondering what the heck getting FB’d means.

Wait....mebbe I don’t wanna know!

This has been a fun thread, regardless :-)

[Jane Long]

Can’t say.
