"The perceived anonymity brings out the worst in many people."

Long ago, I decided to post with my real name. My philosophy is: If I am unwilling to be attributed, I am a coward and probably wrong. B.C. Fargo, ND

Personally I like "Cheney that Clymer!"

I'm sure you get it, so I tell the Unknown Lurker:

That means "Tell that [rectum] to go [fornicate with] himself."

"All I saw were people that have a mean spirit, self righteous attitudes and exhibit extreme unkindness.'

Considering that you have been registered for less than a month, don't you think you're being a bit harsh. We've never conversed and yet you automatically prejudge me. Extremely unkind and mean spirited of you.

I did that for a while. Then someone decided to take advantage of the anonymity and harass me in other ways.

Unfortunately, some people can't behave themselves.

No it is me they are ignoring! I was going to use "kiss of death as my tagline." Could kill any thread...this is why lurking is essential, know what you are getting into. FR is worth any abuse you might endure.

"and my comments are routinely ignored"

Cheer up, they are now recorded and perhaps many generations from now, some High School kid will have to Google your words for a paper.

May I ask for some slack to be cut here for a particular reason? I work with older folks (the person who started this thread admits to being a grandmother, that's at least 34 years old in my neck of the woods!), and many of them make the honest mistake of applying face-to-face ettiquite standards to online





Well bless your precious little heart. That is so condescending as to be almost subterranean. I am over 65. I have been online for over ten years, or since I started building my own computers. I lived those glorious IRC undernet chat channel days. Online romances, flame wars, channel managers and Irc ops.

The problems you describe, are applicable to New users of any age. So shape up you young whippersnapper.

Do what I do. When things get tough and life seems difficult to endure, bury another body under the house.....works for me!!!

Seriously, don't take cyber life so seriously........This is a very good place.......look at it like a potluck....take from it what you like and leave the rest.

OR, don't let the door hit your a$$ on your way out. See....it's all very simple. LOL

Then the other evening, I logged on and followed a thread...”I am a swing voter” posted by Lepidopteran. See, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1189952/posts, for what I am talking about. It was a late night offering.

Now... you have lost credibility in my eyes.

I know I'm crushed. Your opinion meant everything to me.

I can, sadly, understand your perspective.

There's far too much truth to what you've said.

I do, hope, however, that you grow a thicker skin as some of us have had to do--and hang around and contribute your valuable perspective.

Besides, it's an unbeatable place to learn a wide diversity of things.

And, I think it's unbeatable for news.

Who knows, we may yet have some more impact for good in this country. I think so.

At least many of us are called to prayer as well as alertness because of FR.

Thanks for your warning!

LUB,

If you don't want to think, join the DU.

If you want to think to yourself and never get critical feedback on your arguments, find a good corner and mumble to your hearts content.

If you want to yell at people just because you can, join the DU.

If you want intelligent feedback on freerepublic.com - the write intelligent comments on Freerepublic.com.

If you want to post stupid comments on freerepublic.com - then be prepared to be called stupid, or join the DU.

I'm sure I've made some comments that are stupid. But, I own them. They are my stupid comments. Other freepers have called me stupid and I deserved it. But at least I learn - and my opinions have changed because I have been corrected, logically, with philosophical points that I wouldn't have thought about but for those people here who I enjoy.

Kattaracks, Diogenesis, Pokey78, UhDuh, and others. I believe that I've even been corrected a couple of times by Mr. Robinson. This is his site afterall.

If you don't like this site - may i suggest that you start your own discussion board limited to discussions about nothing, for nothing, and with nothing. You can find phpbb software for free on the net, and purchase a domain for $95 for this purpose.

Have fun and good luck.
