You’re right: in the mid 90s, I was new to computers, and AOL was new to the internet, and the chatrooms on AOL were like a test run for what Craigslist was later to become.
I used the name ‘willcerv’ (first four letters of first and last names) in chatrooms ,for the first few months of when I’d even bother to go onto chatrooms, just for the novelty of it, and I’d get IMs from people asking things like “willcerv”......who will you serve?.....then questions like “how are you dressed?”. I’d answer something like
“raspberry vinaigrette”, and they’d say something like, “OH! Yummy!”, then it would be clear to me who I was talking to , and I’d have to end it, saying, “Uhhhh.... I’m not built that way.....Nice ‘doing business’ with you”.

Good morning.
Seems like FR has libeled. AOL is headquartered in VA, right?

Jeez, how did you ever manage to cancel your account with AOL? I was on AOL from my first year with computers,in ‘95. and by ‘99 was thoroughly disgusted with it-—but trying to cancel your subscription put you in touch with one of their
account reps who WOULD NOT LET YOU CANCEL. I finally got SO irritated by one of these people that I threatened to sue.
It took literally FIFTEEN MINUTES of back and forth before she finally ‘heard’ that I wanted to cancel my subscription, and finally relented. The most aggravating thing of its kind I have EVER been through.

Wiki *is* a “libtard website”—of course they are unbiased in all their ‘articles’.

And the cat said not I also. lol
Law-abiding citizens aren’t willing to throw their life away to do this kind of crap. It’s just interesting that the other side seems able to find plenty who don’t seem to fear justice. Almost as if they know somebody’s covering for them.
Maybe these places would fear the law if they knew we could get some undercover cops to check out their own sites. Sort of like posing as a prostitute client in order to catch the prostitute or pimps. Can a person get permission from the cops to do undercover work for them?

Your excerpts really demonstrate just how messed up these morons are when it comes to the "role" of the "reporter".
Cook told him: I really valued being able to write what I think without somebody worrying about whether it will upset somebody, or meets the sort of balancing test that newspapers apply to themselves.
Andrew Golis, who runs The Upshot, wrote on his blog Wednesday. Johns a brilliant reporter, but he decided that he prefers the license Gawker gave him to add his opinions into his reporting to the scale and credibility Yahoo! News could offer.
So, what I'm gleaning from these two quotes is that John left Yahoo because they actually did have some standards (I'm shocked, quite frankly!) and asked him to report facts, and not his opinions?

“FR doesnt host anything but text and html.”
Unless he’s referring to the many pics of Helen Thomas!

“Unless hes referring to the many pics of Helen Thomas!”
Lol, but even then FR doesn’t host them, they only host the link to the image. The actual file is on someone else’s server somewhere.

Oddly, I saw a really repulsive porn shot in the last seven days. I saw that photo of Katie Couric dancing while drunk too.

Excuse me if this was posted already, but how is simply posting a link in one’s profile page implicating Free Republic of “hosting” anything?
If that’s the case, then I guess FR is “hosting” Paltalk (since on my profile page, I give a link to my profile there).
The depths the leftists will go, to besmirch anyone who disagrees with them is insane. So much for “tolerance”. < /sarc >
