I looked at the screen shots and they look shopped to me. There’s too much pixelation around the text.
Ohhhh, my ... you're a retired Intel officer, and you don't know how such a conversation could possibly make it into the wider world?
You know better than that.
All it takes is for somebody (say, one who just got called a faggot) to cut, paste, and post or e-mail to somebody else.
I would not be at all surprised to learn that the posts are real.
No...you jump back, and get off of your high horse.
What I expect to be “typical FreeRepublic” is to be more patient with new posters, and for those who are almost as new to be more lenient, lest they be thought to be thread nannies. I would expect someone who has been here for as short a time as you have to be more understanding of new posters, but I guess my expectations are for naught.
Frankly, your demands of this new poster, and your haughtiness, irritated me a great deal.
I think you owe him an apology, and a hearty “welcome to FR”.
Not everyone who is new to FR is a troll, and I think you should give them the benefit of the doubt until you can prove otherwise.
I’d hate to put you in the “harpie” category.
Haughtiness? You’re prone to exaggeration aren’t you? Now get off my back.
No...I’m not prone to exaggeration. In fact, I would further say that you came across as a bully.
I’ll get off of your back only because I’ve said my piece.
It’s up to you if you want to prolong this.
