Sigh...

When will people learn? It's never a good idea to give a fur bearing mammal a firearm. Edged weapons are a completely different matter. Wombats are perfectly capable of handling broad axes and halberds. An Aardvark would do best with a foil or perhaps a rapier. I limit ursulines to flambeges, but that's just my preference.

Yea I guess I messed up there. I was just trying to learn the navigation of the site.

Well don't try to be cute with me. Just answer two questions.

1 - What's your stand on the right to arm bears?

2 - What do you have against marsupials, Wombats in particular?

3 - Why, the dickens, is there a third question?

The Mod ZOTteth and the Mod resurrecteth the troll. It’s pretty darn confusing.

Ever read the "Pearls Before Swine" comic strip? The cartoonist, a Mr Pastis, regularly has characters die and "un-die."

Perhaps the Mr Pastis is really the enigmatic Admin Moderator...

Okay, that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

Glad to see that the administrator resurrected you and that you appear to be a real boy and not a troll. Welcome to freerepublic, sincerely. You're going to be fine here.

At least you've got a long suffering sense of humor.
You'll do well here.

Welcome to Free Republic.

If you survive the initiation, I must warn you that most of us here have a problem. We are hopelessly addicted to FR.

Be careful or the same will happen to you. So... you have that to look forward to.

I was part of the reason C-P didn’t respond quickly.

Beside the fact that her posts weren’t showing up right at first, CP and I got into a long exchange in PRIVATE MAIL (and I wasn’t the only one), verifying she wasn’t a troll.

I would like to remind those of us FREEPERS who are still busy patting themselves on the back for zotting a troll, that YOU WERE COMPLETELY WRONG.

Please give that some thought.

I’d like to be able to exchange ideas with people and maybe I went about this all wrong.

I think that it was just some over zealous Freepers who made your first thread adventure seem negative.

I assure you, though, that it ALL was meant to happen, and all for good reasons.

If we just ignore the CONCERNED TROLL posts, you actually ended up having a pretty good thread.

I have responded to a bunch of comments, but don’t yet see them posted.

As part of your NOOB training and initiation, my response is,,,

ARE YOU LOGGED ON?

(once you get that joke, you are no longer a noob)

I am NOT SAYING for the Republicans to move to compromise with Obama I am asking if he works with our guys? yes, some suggest Obama won’t do that...if thats the case this thead is a moot point. I was just thinking of the possibility in light of what Clinton did.

The difference, IMO, is that Clinton really wasn't that much of a liberal. He was an opportunist, looking mainly for his own aggrandizement. If compromising with conservatives was a means of accomplishing that, it was no big deal to him.

Obama, on the other hand, is a committed, doctrinaire Marxist. Working with conservatives will not make progress toward his objectives. Consequently, I can't see him being willing to do it.

If you survive your first week, you’ll do fine.
We can be rough.
And we can have a wierd sense of humor.

My coffee is legendary in its horrible effects on life:
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.

Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.

I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.

Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.

Not at all. After all, the Mod is only one letter away from God...

No, you're wrong. I called the VK after the poster was ZOTted. Apparently, the Admin Mod decided to reinstate the poster. If you have an issue with that, take it up with the Mod.
