Good-Bye Cruel Free Republic
6-16-02 | wasfree

Posted on 06/16/2002 5:32:24 AM PDT by magnum opus dejure

Well, it's been 4 years since I first found Free Republic. I have always felt like I belonged here and have really enjoyed the banter back and forth between us members. I am afraid all this is now over. I am really suprised and shocked at it's suddenness. Before I leave I want to thank a freeper from Michigan who sent me a DVD player last year to give to my kids for Christmas. You reaffirmed my faith in humanity.

I know this thread will be deleted before many people get to read it, but I just can't go without saying a final word. Every since 911 the 'vibe' here at FR has been decidedly hostile. I guess it was a matter of time before the newbie moderator got around to weeding me out for my sometimes unpopular views. So I join the ranks of A+Bert and so many others who gave FR a interesting flavor. I will miss coming here 20 times a day and keeping up on things. But without posting priviledges there is just no point. I must go find another conservative group to try to be a part of.

In the future, when a freeper who has been a loyal member since August 1998 crosses the line, how about a note instead of banning? Would that have been too much? I may have gotten out of line, how is beyond me, but if such a tresspass would have been pointed out I would gladly have refrained from doing so again. It is just not right to just ban an account with no explaination. Especially when the freeper has been here 4 years. I have no idea what I am going to do with my days now that I no longer have FR. Well, I guess I have said my part. It is a sad day when one has to leave family and friends. I feel like some of you were just that. But apparently I am no longer wanted around here. I bid my good day to you all and hope that karma pays it's respects to those who do injustice.

You are right. FR has changed for the worse. I rarely post anymore and only visit occasionally. I miss the old FR.

That's like calling the cops and saying "Someone just murdered me."

"She turned me into a newt."

LOL! There's a good reason why the mods leave these up for folks to see. It's important to be reminded of the childishness (I'm going to take my marbles and go home....casting a karma spell as I do it....) contained herein.

You didn't seem to have much trouble getting a new nom de plume.

Some cheese for your whine...

Gee, you wrote all that and did not even give your banned FReeper name. Why should we believe a word you said in your post without ANY specifics?

And also, assuming you were banned, what views were you espousing that got your account nuked?

Like the very first U.S. Marine said to the second Marine:

"You should have been in the old Corps!"

What did you do exactly?

I mean, it can't be that bad if I can click on your new SN and see you're still here.

By the way, how come no Freeper's ever given ME a free DVD player? I must not be one of the cool A-listers, so I'm leaving too! Opus! Opus! Opus!

(Actually, I'll settle for a CD burner. USB compatible.)

I see the author is listed as 'wasfree' -- does that mean your handle was some variation on the word "free"?

The Admin Moderator is obviously allowing you to stay under a new name, so tell us who you were, explain what you did, or crawl back in the DU hole you came out of.
