How many people here troll Freeperville??
Edited on Sun Oct-03-04 01:49 AM by kerryin2004
I on occasion drop in and play with the kiddies over there to see how far they will sink for the pathetic, stumbling, bumbling liar in chief(or thief to be more accurate). I was curious how many of us are doing so?? You know, I bet 20% of their membership are probably trolls..What do you all think??

2. I don't troll FR but....
I do occasionally troll another repuke site that can not be named. I don't have much free time due to my jobs but I love being "one of them" and they're clueless I'm there. They have no idea that I am right there in their midst either. It makes me feel like an invisible Ninja amongst those loons.

5. I do, but it knida depends
Someitmes it is really funy because they are so fukcing dillusional. But othertimes it really pisses me off to the most crazy degree, because they just are so out of touch with what is really going on.

I think I am fascinated by their arrogance. How is it that someone who knows so little about wha tis going on in the country, let alone the world, can be so arrogant? And how can they be so proud of being so wrong?

Why would anyone arrogantly and blindly support a cause tha taobviously dones't give a shit about them?

Sorry, I am vbery drunk righ tnow.

7. nah
But I do occasionally read threads of some of their crazier stuff if it's posted here. Like that one about the crooked necktie! Seriously, if you don't read those classics, you're missing out on some good laughs.

9. It's not my thing.
I mean really, - I have so little control over the right wing shit that finds its way into my life - why would I consciously seek it out?

Nah, I don't have the time or the stomach for it.

12. I did for the first and last time the night of the debate
I decided to register at Free Republic (I think thats the one) as there was an abundance of nonsense I wanted to reply to. I attempted to come off as a republican who was making constructive criticism to others. I lasted about 10 minutes before I was banned... Oddly enough and based on the replies I received I don't think they suspected I was a Dem but rather an angry and misguided republican whose venom spewing was not appropriate to their mindless elementary school dialogs. I think the experiment for me personally was a waste of time and an unhealthy idea. I am still very young and have not learned to deal with anger well and yet I stupidly seek out situations that will inevitably frustrate and upset me.................

one who is "still very young." :toast:

P.S. I don't troll there because I've heard they kill kittens for posting something called "vanity" - that, and they're really stupid.

(p.s. added on edit)

14. Never
Although I do enjoy the occasional idiotic thread that gets reposted over here (the crooked necktie was a classic!)

I know that some people go over there to "see what they're saying". We already know in broad terms what they're saying and as for the exact details, I think it's like trying to see the point of view of the mold when it's time to clean the bathroom.

16. I don't...... Mainly because their website design is so crude.
It looks like it was designed as an elementary school class project.

17. FR was founded in 1996
and from what I've seen their site layout has been the same ever since it was first started.

What's he own? A Lambo and a 500,000 house?? They have fund raisers over there just like here except we get forum improvements and additions--those idiots get nothing except a forum that looks like 1984 Q Link chat room style. Looks like its set up for 1200 baud modems.

Someone posted that their servers conked out during the debate,while the ones at DU kept going with some of the forum options reduced for the heavy traffic.

Har,wait till Kerry wins,the whole Freeper site will crash to the ground on Nov 2nd.

25. I registered and the first time I posted I got somebody warned
The poor freeper got a stern warning for accusing a newbie of being from DU.

I fly under the radar there. I trouble them. I raise issues they would rather not discuss. Sometimes I notice other disruptors there. I think half the membership is fake. The other half is comprised of about twelve actual people, each with numerous different posting names.

34. I tried this last night - Immediately, I could tell another DUer was
posting in response to my posts. He got busted, but I didn't even though I got accused. Someone sent me a private e-mail apologizing, but he seemed like a DUer as well! I didn't think I would make it past one or two posts (and I almost didn't), but I'm still hanging in there. It's their stupidity that makes you want to cave in and confess not their ability to catch trolls.

29. I can't stand their shit
I have a friend, a member here, who went in and disrupted them all the time. and he got banned over and over again. I'm sure he pissed them off mightily, but I can't stand THAT kind of 'talking to a wall' arguing...plus they're arguing from a standpoint of lies-the minute you want them to go beyond 'America's Pill Detector' as a source, they become extremely agitated...no time for that waste of space.

30. I would, but I can't stand the site layout
Edited on Sun Oct-03-04 05:01 PM by Kaelinn
Heck, I usually don't even open a thread here unless it's garnered enough responses to get the magic "view all" link. I'm just not going to put that much effort into reading their insane, angry ramblings.

If it were set up more like this site, though, it might be fun. I'm an agnostic, and I flew under the radar at a fundamentalist Christian site for a while and subtly questioned some of their crazier beliefs (like "the Harry Potter movies are the work of the devil!"). I actually ended up getting a few of them to agree that separation of church and state is a GOOD thing both for the state and for the church.

Edited: for clarity.

31. Never posted there. Lurking there is like...
Watching "Beavis and Beavis". First I thought Beavis and Butthead, but the Freeper personalities are less differentiated. Their conversations are like listening to Beavis talking to himself.

35. not registered, but go a few times a month
I had to after the debates to see what was being said. I can only handle it for a little bit at a time. Seeing how ignorant (not stupid) so many Americans are makes me sick.
