Threads that criticize Freepers for seemingly no reason at all. Threads that state the blatantly obvious(we all hate McCain). Threads that lack the patience required to be a forum moderator....err ignoring patience once again. Threads that criticize conservatives....

I guess that sums it up. When you come to FR, you don’t expect to be attacked by your own people. But here we have it...as inside joke funny as it may be...guess that’s my point.

“19. People that have been around here since 98 that think they know better than others.”

I resemble that remark.

Referring to GWB as “Jorge” Bush

Complaining about George Bush’s attempted immigration bill every time his name comes up in the conversation

We all know the physical tics in other people that, while not wrong, just drive us crazy. Now we’re discovering the Internet tics.

It all grows old, but yet I love the smell of Zot.

Whiners diligently searching out things to be offended by with annoying regularity.

Nit pickers who have an urge to correct the slightest little thing.

However, since my scroll button works

You have a scroll button? I have a scroll wheel.

Smile awhile! I'm not being series.

I prefer to read the original title of an article as well and it is annoying that some folks feel the need to change it.

Yep, I’ve scrolled ad nauseum through posts that have nothing to do with the original topic. Repeat offenders should be plunged headfirst into the outhouse hole.

Hold on a sec...

If you’re talking about the bonuses (which are no one’s business), then I’m with you.

Banks and Bankers, as tools of power mongers, will forever be suspect in my eyes. As a rule, I detest banks.

Right from my profile:

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency...the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” - Thomas Jefferson

“If you want to remain slaves of the bankers and pay for the costs of your own slavery, let them continue to create money and control the nation’s credit.” - Sir Josiah Stamp

FReepers that don't know the difference between Free Republic's "News & Activism" forum and Sports Illustrated magazine. I want news, not sports scores.

Constant poll update posts. If people are curious, they'll go to the site and actually vote the poll and improve the concervative results.

SCREAMING, YELLING, AND HOLLARING!

Copied links that when pasted, are dead.

I have a scroll button too come to think of it, actually it’s a key.

I got a complaint for using ‘hugh and series’.

1. People who complain when you post ‘hugh and series’. Or Seinfeld posts. They’re the worst, Jerry!
