CJ has bailed because of the McClintock-Schwarzenegger wars, I am sure of it. We sparred quite vigorously over the issue, not just on the threads but even via FReepmail to an extent in the weeks and days leading to CJ's abrupt departure. I very nearly bailed myself but relented when it seemed clear to me that the good name of Tom McClintock, an honorable, decent, and well-proven, all-around conservative, would need continual defending at FR--not just now, but for some time to come. I'm in for the duration, although I likely will post with much less frequency.

I am somewhat surprised by the suggestions that CJ is female. I always thought CJ was male, although in retrospect I must admit the written style of some posts (and FReepmail) struck me as having been written by a female. I can't explain why--they just had that aura about them.

In any event, CJ was a far more dedicated and unrelenting foot soldier than I on the WOD and libertarian threads. I got burned out a few years ago and rarely post more than one or two replies on a WOD/libertarian thread these days. But you could always count on CJ to go toe-to-toe with the libertarians for the full 12 rounds--complete with graphics. And if one of CJ's opponents dropped a punch even one millimeter below the belt you could count on CJ to take out a micrometer and jeweler's loupe, and, having verified the offense, to hit the abuse button with relish. That's a level of commitment I could never hope to match. It wearies me just to think of it.

All in all, CJ was a definite asset to FR--the pepper in the soup.

I recall on a past thread a very long time ago that CJ was revealed to be a woman. The coarse way she writes surprized me. I think a lot of folks would be surprized at another well known freeper that purposely presents herself as a man, but is not. I often get talked to as though I am a man and get called 'dude' and swore at but it never occured to me that my name would be associated with a man.

Am I reading you wrong, or did CJ support the serial groper?!

[Roscoe]

Perhaps CJ will return after the election.

I relished the time CJ slurred my fathers honesty, and when I complained a bit, hit the button & got me a 3 day time out.

S/He's a fly in the soup.
