VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

I think you should be forced to read "The Collected Wisdom of Lew Rockwell, Jr."

I know you're only kidding but I think you may have inadvertently exposed a disconcerting amount of pure evil only succumbed to by the likes of Stalin or Hitler. You may want to get that checked out. ;^)

I feel so dirty now...

Take two showers and call me in the morning.

pre-emptive ramble

I wonder if BadJoe will let us talk about gay behavior, m*rm*n doctrine or the weather?

has anyone seen polycarp?

[Sabertooth]

A good group of people on LP are just a bunch of bitter ex-FReepers who get bitch and moan about being banned all day.

Posters are a mixed bag at both sites. There are good posters at both LP and FR.

[AppyPappy]

I fall to my knees and humbly beg forgiveness for all my past misdeeds. God will surely punish me for my sins.

Rise above, Jim.

[Jim Robinson]

I'm wondering who will play BadJoe in the movie. Gotta be Mel Gibson playing JimRob.

[newgeezer]

Hey, 'Wonk. I think I just discovered where those disgruntled former FReepers go. :-)

What bothers me is that Badjoe had my credit card number in several fundraisers.

My sister bit a moderator once

[Teacher317]

I think I was groped by a moderator, once.

A moderator bit my sister once.

Moderator bites can be very nasty!

What bothers me is that Badjoe had my credit card number in several fundraisers.

Why, have unusual charges showed up on your card? Do you know how to do a stop payment or report a stolen card?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Guess what? He's still got your credit card numbers!

[NeoCaveman]

This is huge and series.

Jim, you'll feel better after a shower.

[jern]

I really don't understand why someone could get so upset about getting banned from a Message Board.

[drstevej]

BadJoe - perhaps the alter ego of GoodJoe who saw wonderous things in his hat and blessed his reluctant wife with many "sisters" who could share the warmth of the prophet's bed.

[dirtboy]

Guess what? He's still got your credit card numbers!

I feel a Capital One commercial coming on...

Jim: Friends come and go. I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you.

joewho??? When you posted the name I recognized it. I didn't realize he'd been gone at all, let alone for a year. Must have been a real revalant guy.

Jim, no confessions needed here. If you feel that you have learned and grown and now see some things differently, GREAT. Don't just go flapping your keyboard at us, start making the changes. Things that don't evolve eventually die. especially in the cyber world. Pets.com anyone???

[AppyPappy]

You're out of line, mister.
