the worst thing you have seen a Freeper do? Whats the best/worst thing you have done to a Freeper?

Maybe that crowd has gone extinct, evolved thumbs or simply migrated somewhere hoping to be unrecognized,
but they used to be so widely regarded and really knew how to set up portapotties!
In hindsight, what Freeper stunts have you witnessed that really struck you as lowdown?
what pranks or rebuttals have you seen in return?
Its been ages since Ive heard the word Rimjob, let alone seen him dragging the flag.
Feeling sentimental, anybody with me?

(only because I didnt witness or hear about it at the time) and subsequently attempting to disrupt a permitted major event
at the Courthouse Park here in Fresno. A presiding officer of the organization notified the Sheriff Dept who obviously oversee the county courthouse, who thereafter arrested the caller, in vindictive retaliation for the foolish revelation of their own JTTF pride and joy Aaron Kilner.
And the sick fellow who posted as Atbay limped away unscathed.

through links on DU. I don't think that website has much importance any longer, really. I was banned there in 2006, for "anti-Freeping," and haven't been back since.

Well, I am not speechless, but what I would like to say would probably be hidden.

I suspect some of Andy's most painful experiences did not originate there.
I also suspect you misread/interpreted my reply.

Jury: I hope you know who and what Andy Stephenson stood for. I also hope you know how F.R. played a part in his death.

I think the constant "freepathon" fundraisers to "maintain" a site that looks like it dates from the dawn of the Internet drove most of them to better-run hard-right websites.

Though I don't know if this individual was a member of the website or just shared their foul ideas.

Years back a freeper type had a show on blog talk radio. Think Alex Jones level but more overtly racist. He actually had a large following, and his outrageous, racist, anti-woman, ridiculous views drew the attention of a certain message board (not this one), who trolled him personally and his show for years until he eventually quit.

Yes, this guy was damn dedicated. He paid the over $1,000 per month fee to broadcast and would do at least 3 hours EVERY DAY for YEARS. He also got trolled so much he finally struck a sort of bargain. He changed the format and promised if no one trolled him during his normal hours, he would have a special 30min segment where you could call in and and say anything you wanted and he wouldn't ban you.

Favorite types of trolling were splicing recordings of his show to make it say something he obviously wouldn't agree with, making fun of Texas (of course hes from Texas...), bragging about any type of government subsidy you may have, etc. That is his history, and here is a sample of the trolling that made me laugh for years...

Disclaimer: the host makes racist comments, sexist comments, and it may be disturbing. If you can stomach all that, and like to see such people get super pissed off and trolled non-stop, you will laugh:
