You really are confused here.

No. We're not. DJ MacWoW, was I talking to you? No, I was following a line of thought with another individual, responding to what he had been saying. Then you jump in with both feet as if I was commenting to more than one person, on a line of reasoning that wasn't exactly what I was referencing.

BobJ tried very hard to harm FR. And I agreed with this characterization.

What's confusing is posters that are friends with him and make no secret of it but claim to love FR. It shouldn't confuse you all that much. People do things because they think they should. That doesn't mean I think they should. I have stated that I haven't talked to BobJ for over a year. When we talked it wasn't about Free Republic.

I've known BobJ since 1998. I worked with him on a number of projects. We attended CPAC a couple of times and the inauguration of George Bush in 2001. We street protested in Los Angeles a number of times. It was through BobJ I met a number of quality people. Those people are in some instances still FReepers in good standing. MinuteGal is one of them.

I know Minute Gal loves FR. You're right. She does.

You don't seem to understand that he worked against FR for more years than he supported it. I first became aware of the problem in about 2005. I stayed away from him. He also thought "FR is fun for tossing a grenade into a nest of malcontents and watching 'em try to sting something".

I don't know exactly what happened and why he "turned" but he has caused problems ever since. Usually using "friends". It's a sad situation. Truly.
