What the heck happened to this place while I was away?? I've never understood if a topic doesn't interest someone, why they don't just ignore it?? Sort of like, "IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY PEACHES, DON'T SHAKE MY TREE!" Reminds me of some of my relatives.:<)

I was in this bookstore/coffee shop, I think it was called "Mons Venus"

right - try barnes and noble...it's cheaper

thanks for responding to my post... your responding post #38 to my post #15 brought up several subjects but complaints seemed to be the basic theme...if i counted correctly...on 27 Sept you made about 42 posts...most complaints came after Mr. Robinson informed you that he was not sure that he was interested in featuring your sawgrass issue on FR...i congratulate you for registering so many complaints in one day...he has banned me for much less...unequal treatment you might call it but i was being pretty ornery...you used the word complaint 3 times in the short response to me...by the way, if my response does not suit you as my response to the other saw grass guy apparently did not suit him...are you gonna follow his lead and send in another "big brother"?...you said you are chapter leader(i believe that you told someone that your chapter had been banned)...if i ever wanted to be a chapter leader how do i get to be one and how did you?...you are leading your chapter where?...your words may not have demanded support but if not, some of the posts from you and yours may have come pretty close... what unequal treatment have you had?...odd but in all the years i have been able to read here...i have never seen anyone else mistreated by the owner!...other posters...yes...very occasionally but never robinson or his crew (my suck up comment)...and finally in all your posts i saw NO threats...otherwise i would have thought that your saying that you would "refrain from making further posts to keep the thread alive"...was some sort of ultimatum at least...please explain how you could make a post that would prevent the threat from "living"...can't wait to receive your response to these queries...i bellieve you are well intended and dedicated to your cause...most likely one hell of a soldier...and working for a fine cause that i have not studied...just my belief that you have not been going about it the right way and may be pissing off more people than you are recruiting....thanks

AuntB, Hi! Peace and love, George.

Reminds me of some of my relatives.:<)

LOL! I've heard about them. You sure some of them aren't posting here?

I would like to request if people are replying about someone’s personal behavior in the Sawgrass threads, would you please consider the private reply option. This will help keep the threads flowing freely under the new posting guidelines.

We want to keep up exposure for the Sawgrass Rebellion but we do not want alienate people who are seeking information so they can make an honest educated opinion of the movement’s intention.

I do understand how emotions can be pretty volatile right now, but please remember we all have the same goal. By treating others with respect and keeping our emotions in check the uninformed will be much more receptive to learning about the Rebellion's motives.

I am not directing this to anyone in particular, I am only directing this to the Movement in general in hopes that this consideration can make our actions more effective.

Sincerely Matthew B. Rogers

It's like this.

We have no choice but to get off our asses and do something about this immoral monster stomping it's way through our communities. Not because we're some great patriots, but becasue if we don't it will completely ruin us, for real. Just as it's has to others all over the country.

They've got it down to a science. Show up in a community because of some non-existant "crisis", then they proceed to beat the people into the ground until they get what they want.... total control of the area with a decimated population of people.

Anyone who's been on FR for more than a day knows how these anti-American abusers operate. We never expected everyone to actively cheer us on, but we also never expected anyone around here to actively work against us. That was an eventuality some of us weren't prepared for, but it is unfortunately the reality we have to deal with.

Your biggist issue in all of this seems to be about forum sensitivities. Please understand that there is a great deal at stake here (much more than you probably realize) and emotions are running quite high.

Your point about tactics is well taken, which was one reason for the thread to begin with. Thanks for the input and thanks for bumping this thread.

sigh...no, THIS is how it is...i made a post that you didn't like...but you never even said it was inappropriate or untruthful...someone calling himself bat boy got involved because he didn't like some observation that i made...you have been asked(by me and OTHERS repeatedly) to explain, clarify, or answer several questions to which you have not responded...as a result of your insistence on not answering the queries put to you, i don't know if you have a worthy cause and though it appears to be...i am not interested in becoming involved...as is apparently true of the majority who read here...suddenly a third member(who i don't know) of your "caucus"(was unaware that we had those here)...sends me a private email telling me in effect to shut up(farm-friend)and only address you all in private because my posts in public could hurt your recruiting(paraphrasing)...i don't know any of you and although you are probably heroes...you may be opportunists who are using your cause for reasons other than those expressed...i just don't know...and don't have the interest to find out...i do know that since robinson told you TWO DAYS AGO...that he was not interested, at that time in allowing you to post as you insisted upon doing(not exact words)...then, i believe, you saw fit to post in excess of FIFTY posts in one day, with many if not most being complaints...mostly because jim will not let you have your way and let you post to breaking news(i believe) instead of where your post about sawgrass are displayed...i'm just tired of you buggin' me...unless you are willing to answer the many questions that i and others have asked you...i prefer that you not bother me again(you should have learned by now that it is not in your best interest to do so)...but i expect you to post again so you can have the last word...great...but i will ignore your final post to me and will not respond unless you start answering the queries...and please don't send a third big brother...

[AAABEST]

LOL. I don't know how to respond to your post, I think I'd rather try to decipher the Dead Sea scrolls.

If it makes you feel any better things seem to have been resolved with FR and the people involved in Sawgrass.

God bless you who ever you are.

[gPal]

why, in the short time that you have been coming here do you feel that you have the ability, to advise others in a condescending manner, on posting and insisting that anything negative must be handled by private mail so that the folks who read here will not be aware of negatives of your associates...i agree that the emotions of some of your associates have resulted in some disruption...since it is obvious that you want to be a leader, and you definitely are aggressive enuf, but a little patience may be of help to you in your efforts to be a person of note in the things you want to accomplish as a leader...if you post when you are emotionally disturbed, the result may be that your posts could be taken as insulting, condesending, and disruptive...i am sure that you will get control of your emotions and your posts will probably be more effective in your recruiting efforts...read bat boy's posts of the last few days...he really goes over the line sometimes...i'm betting you can help him...aaabest invites questions but has a whole list that he has chosen not to answer...farm friend is really cool...i have now survived unfriendly posts from four of you all and i hope this will be our last contact...good luck on the sawdust project and remember that a little sugar or honey is more attractive than a pile of doo doo...please do not bother to contact me again...especially in private...i've got four of you buggin' me and i am weary of you fine folks...God bless!

Good grief! The wasted time and energy. I attended the Calif Republican Assembly board meeting and Calif Republican Party convention in Anaheim this weekend. Been out of the loop. Too bad time is wasted on controversy when there's so much constructive work that needs to be done. We're all volunteers. Jim Robinson lets us use this forum for our joy and benefit. I don't know what's going on but it's too bad. For victory & freedom!!!

[Dutchgirl]

I saw an article on FR this weekend about a church that has had to lay out big bucks in order to comply wth some of the wacky environmental legislation enacted to protect the Everglades. I did not realize it had gotten so bad. This church was having to spend thousands of dollars on compliance, rather than ministry.

After schmoozing at the debate here on Friday, I sent a copy of the article to Stan Jordan, my rep here in Jacksonville, explaining that even though South Floridians may have brought alot of this on themselves by constantly voting Rats into office, that I was worried by the legal precedents which placed the environment ahead of issues like just compensation for private property and government interference in religion. I know it's not alot, but I have found that Pols are alot more willing to help when they know that their base, the precinct walkers, envelope stuffers, and check writers, are concerned about isssues.

I have a buddy who has an in with Jim King as well, and may see if I can call in some favors.

I think alot of what is going on in South Florida is because Republican strong holds in the north are not receiving any reports about these issues on their local stations, and it takes a forum like FR to open our eyes.

So, on the one hand, you may be accused of being a Johnny-one-note, but on the other hand, this forum is like a cafeteria. We all get an opportunity to participate from a great variety, and one may prefer chocolate cake and one may dislike the green jello, but it is nobody's business to spit on the jello and ruin it for someone else!

I stated in another post that things will only get worse until hardworking American citizens take up arms to protect themselves against the government.

That doesn't seem very controversial. In fact, as I recall, the Attorney General of the United States said that was the reason for the 2nd Amendment, during his confirmation hearings. What are guns for, if not defense?

[bat-boy]

Seems pretty common sense to me. If a thief enters your home, you defend it.

[AAABEST]

Those little things you're doing are not as little as you think. Another "point of light".

Everyone has talents and can become highly effective in their own way. We really can make a difference, it's exciting to see people doing so.

Thanks for your thoughtful post.

G-d Bless you and every other person who takes the time to get off their rear and make things happen. You are a precious and valuable commodity to all conservatives who want to preserve their rights and their LAND!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Patriot!

[AAABEST]

Hey dio. You must have made a good impression on Gene (seeking the truth), he was saying all kinds of nice things about you last week.

I happy to say things seem to be going very well again with SGR and FR. Florida and the property rights folks made a big statement in the FReepathon. Some angel from heaven in Florida donated a thousand dollars, and at the time of this post Florida leads all other states in donatations.

I put a post here at post #767 to try to mend some bridges, as I was concerned with the way things were going.

There really are some great people around here, can't you feel the love!!

Hehe.

[Interesting Times]

A property rights bump...

[diotima]

Thanks Gene!

And thank you, AAA, for fighting the good fight!
