I looked, too. Some old names from earlier times here.
One gave me the creeps...
At least you have room to grow!
I just had to laugh at this person - “Free Republic is too important, so, I’m starting a different website to replace Free Republic” - really? “I can’t stand the idea of America without Free Republic, so I’m going to try and replace it” - just WOW! What a dunder-head!!
bye. is this owk?
“Wankers for Rudy McRomney”..... great slogan!!
So the rudy lovers here will get angry, go over there, trash us, then come back here in a year claiming they were tricked into leaving or totally misunderstood here and weren’t banned....
“So the rudy lovers here will get angry, go over there, trash us, then come back here in a year claiming they were tricked into leaving or totally misunderstood here and weren’t banned....”
LOL! That’s true! There are some of the unbanned, so they claim, over there already. I had a few minutes to check it out today. ;o)
“aside from willie and some LP posters i know....who were or weren’t here before
its mostly.just mostly social lib folks.from here”
That is very kind of you, considering a few of their “clientele”...one in particular.
i suspect the owner will get pushed aside by antifreeping
There are some decent folks there, but I believe you are right in that the antifreeping and in-fighting will drown everything else out. That’s what has happened to many other forums, and most of them have shut down.

I’ve had a chance to reflect on your impolite admonishment, and have since learned that it seems to be your modus operandi to post that nasty diatribe in a private message anytime you don’t like what someone has written. First off, if you have something like that to say, put in the forum, don’t send me private notes. Aside from your demonstrable arrogance, where is it exactly, that you derive the notion that you have the right to tell people what they can or cannot post on a free-association forum, and what paradigm exactly do you supposed Free Republic operates by, wherein a comment such as mine is not appropriate?
Looking at some of your illuminating posts, I have to say, I was sure impressed. I particularly was blown away by the cerebral nature of your discussion about lady’s breast cup sizes, or your taking room in forums to posts things such as “Your point is?” or “I’m for giving California back to Mexico,” or simply “Yawn.” These posts are sarcastic, or ineffective attempts at humor, and by your own implied standard, don’t merit inclusion in the forum. Of course that brings up the delightfully rich post by you asking another Freeper “what kind of litmus test can you supply to determine my political classification?” Speaking of litmus tests, what kind of litmus test can you supply to determine which posts are ‘appropriate’ and which are not, and please be sure it’s permissive enough to include all your sarcastic comments and inane musings, but stringent enough to exclude everyone else’s, and also be sure to craft something that allows for your endless (and tiresome) admonishments to other people about their intellectual inferiority , and the uselessness of their posts, etc., but doesn’t allow for similar posts by others.
Your self-righteous admonishments are the biggest waste of space on FR. If you are incapable of skipping over comments that you don’t find interesting or worthwhile, then it’s your problem, and perhaps you have an attention deficit problem to match your obvious anger management ones. Either get a job as a moderator or keep your mouth shut – you don’t have any special privileges here and no basis on which to criticize others. If you want to be a miserable scrooge then leave the forum and take your attitude, your arrogance and your misery; you can go sit on your own sidewalk and curse at your ammunition.
How many attempts have there been to run off and create a newer more perfect Free Republic?
I've been on Free Republic since 1998, and if memory serves me right, there have been three or four now. I can't even remember their names, and can't tell you if they still even exist.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
