“I would absolutely buy a Free Republic t-shirt or sweatshirt.”
Me, too. And hats.
Yes, the person you copied is directly responsible for the withdrawal of m financial support which was substantial. I do not need to pay to be called numerous names including murderer by someone who has not evidence of reason and throws her complete support and adoration to venerating knowing fraudsters like Kirsch, tenpenny, and the real doctors who either have been arrested or thrown off staff for misrepresenting their credential. She and her acolytes have threatened to dox me, find me, harass me, and destroy me. I have the freepmails they had not problem sending and putting in writing their threats to stifle discussion and the open and critical exchange of information
I find it abhorrent that one perpetually places scripture in the tagline than openly says the things she does. Others may judge her on her own merits. My understanding of the faith is obviously a little different. I am sure I will be censored for saying this, but that is ok.
Thank. you for posting the statement that you did as it puts on full display the unhealthy obsession this particulate person has with many of us.
Have a good evening.
Perhaps those Freepers can't spend all day looking at every article posted.
So we should post and repost duplicates just for them?
Your entire post is excellent! I want to take a minute to respond to the above comment since responses to my earlier posts confirm this.
Yes, I can and have posted articles but there are always a few extremely negative folks who enjoy just being ugly. Who needs that? That is why I lurk instead of post for the most part. I will commit to trying to overlook the negativity and post more articles and comments because I truly do love Free Republic!
Does it really happen that often? It is true that as threads fall down the page, some might not see the first post of an article. It could also be the same subject from a different source. Or perhaps search didn't find the original post. There could be lots of reasons for it. My posts to you were not meant to offend. Just an observation only. We should all try to be kind and stop the snarky remarks.
Many good points.
Too much “drive by posting” here. Commenting without thinking. Some of that is ok, but way too much of it.
IT has changed much. We lost a lot of knowledge and thinkers.
But,
Don’t give up, pass on tradition by telling stories and experience, post and be able to defend quality posting. Encourage those that that are on target and correct those that are not.
Most here don’t even have a clue about what conservatism is. And many don’t want to know, they just want to say something.
I read and respond here to help clarify my thoughts on conservatism. Writing things down helps organize thoughts and position.
This is the place to exercise reading and thinking skills but there is much improvement needed.
We need you here, keep up the Good Work.
P.S. This is a subscription site. voluntary.
Logo-ed items plus email sound like great ideas.
********** spells freeloader and that's you.
****** spells whiner and that's you.
** **** ********.
Yep...I don’t acknowledge hypocritical, whining gasbags.
Just hit the ignore button, like everyone else does....or, you won’t get a participation trophy 😂 🙃
Love the hat/ballcap idea.
Fr used to have merch. It wasn’t enough. Even back when we were famous.
Hahaha!! Did I hurt your feelings? I think it's hilarious that you knew who I was talking about.
By the way, thanks for proving my point about contributing zero to the conversation, and also re-affirming my choice to not donate. If that makes me a freeloader, I'll own it.
You're welcome.
What is it specifically you think I should be contributing to the conversation?
You haven’t done much to defend yourself.
And the gratuitous insults accomplish nothing — especially for those that wear their profession on the sleeve. That will most definitely invite the discouraging abuse.
I think you should try again, but avoid the temptation of engaging your antagonists. That sh*t goes nowhere fast.

I thought it humorous that he rose from the ashes for this thread.
Or, how’s this?
[see non-geek explanation below]
“SELECT id, MAX(url), freeper_url FROM posts WHERE url = {submitted_url} AND post_date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 7 DAY);”
Anyone who works with databases knows what that means above, but I’ll explain for the non-geeks among us.
That is a simply data base query that look for the same URL a user submits as a post in the last 7 days. If no result is returned, the post is not a duplicate (or at least not the same urk/link). If a result is returned, the user can simply told: “A previous article with that url has been submitted within the last 7 days. click here {returned freeper_url}.
Of course, this database query can be modified/flavored to taste, but with all due respect to the moderators, this would be a bit less snarky than allowing a thread to begin, only to be taken down shortly thereafter with the notice “search works.”?
Think of it this way: It’ll save time for the moderator(s).
just my $0.02 (what I do for a living)

Brilliant idea! Hopefully those in charge will consider.
Good observations and comments.
