‘Free Republic’ Now A Safe Space for Donald Trump Supporters [Jim's response at post 25]

On the right, we’ve grown to pride ourselves on our greater openness to debate and ideas, on having no need to toe a Politically Correct line or crawl into a “safe space” like pampered college kids who just can’t handle hearing from anyone who disagrees with them.

For myself, I am so personally dedicated to this ideal that I even perform the great personal sacrifice of reading the comments field beneath my articles.

Yet somehow I wasn’t surprised to see Donald Trump supporters, those swaggering tough guys, turn one of their favorite Internet forums into a safe space where they no longer need to encounter criticism or opposition. Earlier today, Free Republic proprietor Jim Robinson announced that the discussion board would no longer tolerate opposition to Trump’s candidacy.

Of course I called you out for your arrogant trashing of someone behind their back who has no way of countering the attacks.

I already dropped the subject, but you keep bringing it up.

I will refrain from posting your original mean spirited attack on someone who can not respond.

LOL @sanctimonious.

And moaning! Your entertainment quotient has rizen tremendously.

: > )

I hope you are having a lovely day.

Don't fret, I imagine this thread has just about hit it's maximum shelf life.

[miss marmelstein]

No, you have kept up this nonsensical correspondence. I didn’t write to you in the first place and you keep responding to my answers to your posts. Stop posting to me now and forever, if possible. and go hold the hand of your friend who is so despondent over my supposed ‘trashing’.

[fone]

Salute!

[Syncro]

LOL I don't know the person personally, and the point of my posts seems to have been lost on you.

You know you cannot tell someone to not post to you when you respond.

Your original post that I responded to in order to counter the false accusation and attack:

Oh, he was another Catholic-hater who was allowed to thrive on FR. Did he leave over Trump? LOL, what an ass.

I think my original motivation was your "subtle" dig at Free Republic to substantiate your false accusation. (explained in one of my earlier replies to you, maybe it didn't sink in)

Thanks goodness this thread isn't in the Religion Forum or your posts would have been removed if seen by the RM.

Oh and oh my such language from a woman!

Oh, he was another Catholic-hater who was allowed to thrive on FR. Did he leave over Trump? LOL, what an ass.

[miss marmelstein]

I had no idea how childish you were. Ass is now a curse word? Go away, baby.

I'll go cross-eyed if I try to read through every post on this thread, but I'm curious to know what the FR census was back in 1998.

And as I recall, the growing number of FReepers back in the day kept crashing the system, burdening JimRob to constantly update server capabilities.

Cheers FRiend!

Do you know how many users were registered in 1998?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Trump is not the dream conservative candidate from Central Casting we all wanted. Even with that allowance in mind, he is far preferable to Hillary Clinton.

His positions blew the doors off of the RINO contingent of the primary field (not to mention the ineligible foreigner and two anchor-babies)

Now that last primary, that had some good people in it.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Old ‘98s

I've PO'd a lot of people in my time. Made a lot of good FRiends too.

[Syncro]

Just not ladylike.

But, SOP.

“baby?”

Please don’t flirt with me, I’m not interested

[miss marmelstein]

What’s with some of you aged male freepers always thinking women are coming on to you?

[Syncro]

They can’t help themselves.

Most I’m not interested in though, sorry.

[miss marmelstein]

No, I would imagine most of you aged types here aren’t interested in girls.

[Syncro]

LOL wow what a good dig!

I didn’t know you are a girl.

You seem like an lol. Before it meant Laughing Out Loud

[humblegunner]

What’s with some of you aged male freepers always thinking women are coming on to you?

I thought it a pretty blatant come-on, frankly.
Perhaps a bit antiquated in style, but still recognizable.

[Syncro]

LOL

And ewwww

[miss marmelstein]

Oh, a message went out to the inflato-doll crowd?

[humblegunner]

Oh, a message went out to the inflato-doll crowd?

Axe your partner, grandma.

[zeugma]

No. You’d probably have to ask Jim about that.

[miss marmelstein]

I guess it’s been ixnay on the ussypay since the Taiwan mail order bride decamped but no reason to get nasty.
