New Mormon anti-freeper site and campaign to bankrupt FR
rumor mill | March 29, 2009 | Jim Robinson

Posted on Sunday, March 29, 2009 5:35:03 PM by Jim Robinson

I understand there is a new anti-freeper site started by disgruntled former and present Mormon FReepers and it is their intention of bankrupting FR during the coming Freepathon by withholding their donations and disrupting our activities. Well, all I can say is, if they feel that badly against FR, by all means they should withhold their donations and drop out of FR. But it they attempt to disrupt our operations I will guarantee they will no longer be members of FR. If that is their wish, so be it.

I'm not going to try to defend FR from their claims of religious persecution, but I will say that Mormons have and always have had free reign to post their threads on FR just as all other religious groups have enjoyed. Free Republic defends the right to freedom of religion and has always welcomed religious discussion and always will. And Mormons have always been welcome here. I have absolutely nothing against Mormons.

If you are one who has left or is leaving, I wish you well, but disruption of FR is not welcome and will not be tolerated.

And this is not the first time such activity has been attempted by groups of disgruntled former FReepers. Good luck with that. There is always some group that feels FR should be bent to their way of thinking and end up saying my way or the highway. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not changing so I guess it's the highway. Is it Feb 8 yet?

God bless.

[Deja Q]

1. I thought the freedom fries service came in and closed the place down?

[librechik]

2. heh

can't really count on those fringe Christians, eh Jim?

You need the real cross haulin/ kind, not the weirdo Angel Moroni Koolaid drinkers anyway.

WEDGE, anyone?

So long Freepers.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. Are the Freepers telling each other to "stock up on ammo"?

Which is their usual solution to any problem.

[virgogal]

3. What does Feb 8 have to do with anything?

[Fuzz]

5. Shrug

[drmeow]

9. Probably:

"the coming Freepathon" is that day or starts that day.

[virgogal]

19. Thanks ! eom

[pengillian101]

31. "the coming Freepathon" is that day or starts that day.

Nope. Freepathons are quarterly. They start on the first of each yearly quarter month - ie, January, April, July, October.

April 1 will be the new begathon.

[drmeow]

39. And, DUH - I wasn't reading

very well. Feb 8 has long since passed. Brain not functioning (is there a "man that was stupid" smily?)- I'm going to blame it on Freeper exposure. I guess if I became a Freeper maybe I'd know what Feb 8 means but I'm not willing to make that sacrifice.

[pengillian101]

43. Is it Feb 8 yet?

Ha, I wasn't thinking that the date already passed either, lol. I wonder what significance that date has, if any. I don't care enough to try and figure it out though. Must be some secret code date :-)

[lpbk2713]

4. No need to get your patties in a wade, Jimbo.

:rofl: :rofl:

[Glorfindel]

6. "free reign?" I love that!

I suppose it's opposed to a reign for which one must pay.

:rofl:

[old mark]

7. When you cast asparagus,

things sometimes get butter.

mark

[FreeState]

8. This is not something most Mormons would do... and there are not enough to take it down

theres no way a small minority of posters over there could do what he is implying. Sounds like like Mr. Robinsons delusional again (or should I say he always has been).

[elehhhhna]

15. their iz if'n they make there WIVES hold back They're donations.

[FreeState]

21. Not what I meant - there are hardly enough LDS on the site to take it down -

even if they wanted to- which I highly doubt they do. Notice how there was no evidence posted just a rand by the owner - sounds like a nice way to drum up bigger donations.

[tridim]

10. FR allows all religious views "free reign"?

Can someone post a link to their Muslin sub-board?

[MADem]

17. I'm guessing that little pony was strangled on his free reins!!! nt

[spoony]

32. It's in their fancy fabrics forum

Muslin ;)

But you're right, of course, what they mean is acceptable and 'murican religions. Not them furrin' uns.

[Starry Messenger]

11. Excellent find!

At over 1500 posts now. That's what I call a shitstorm! :D Makes GDP look like a tea party.

[monmouth]

13. The only sane response I saw there was from an Atheist. Go figure...n/t

[elehhhhna]

14. u oh tHey are Screwn !!1!

[MADem]

16. Free REIGN!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

My goodness, they're just....so fucking stupid. Pass the asparagus!

[Ian David]

18. At the very least, I hope this costs that little nazi an arm and a leg. n/t

[firedupdem]

20. why must they threaten violence?

Well if the Mormons want a war they'll get a war. Romney will be the first casualty.

[gratuitous]

36. Cage match?

More like a slap fight on the short bus, with both antagonists looking around, hoping a teacher will get involved before they start crying.

33. Looks like DU isn't the only site having problems lately......

We seem to have the whole anti-Obama bandwagon here trying to split the left, and the idiots at FR have problems with Mormons now, lol.

[johnfunk]

37. Mormons vs. Morans: Anyone know the link to the Mormon site?

40. And this is why Romney has asbolutely no chance of being the Republican candidate. n/t

[shadowknows69]

42. A war between Freepers and Mormons? That would be worthy of a mini-series.

What's Ken Burns up to these days?
