JimRob & wife were facing lawsuits, broke & desperate in late 1990's. and early 2000's they were recovered financially, lawsuits went away (somehow) and they switched to republican only, and then neo-con only.
It had to do with Coppertone, a letter to the FBI and someone's real name being posted. I can't remember. There were a lot of people on the thread, so somebody will.
You have GOT to be kidding me! Coppertone?
These people have too much time on their hands. When they argue about Coppertone, Geez.
Golfmann said he was the one on the papers. He told me he was working with Hugh to get it shut down. That was before he took his own site out of public view and banned me.
I am reasonably certain CP belonged to Mastermind, not Golfmann.
I believe the site host was spelled Huw but pronounced like Hugh. The host was in the UK and with the name Huw, the host was possibly Welsh.
I also believe (but have no proof) that Golfmann was involved in the shutdown of the CP Snitz site. I have seen that denied. It is just my opinion.

Title: LP: Update on current behavior of posters - and the future of LP Source: LP Mgmt URL Source: http://none Published: Aug 28, 2007 Author: Goldi Post Date: 2007-08-28 14:40:44 by Goldi-Lox Ping List: *Liberty Post News* 425 Comments
I expect those of you who post here to adhere to the rules that are outlined on the tab, FAQ. Further info is on the tab named "Help".
You are adults. Many of you are in jobs or positions of responsiblity. Why then do so many of you act without any responsibility??
If you can't treat me and each other with respect, then the entire intent of this site is a lost cause.
For those of you who do not already know, I was laid off my job at the end of June due to a business downturn in my specific facility. I am currently engaged in a full time job search. As such, I don't have time or patience to deal with childish antics by those of you who ARE currently employed. I will not be taking time from my search to coddle you.
I have today and yesterday been forced to address issues that I don't have time to be dealing with. As a result, I have banned Gatlin and Rhino369. I have had to close other accounts due to their total internet stupidity. I won't mention their names. I have also deleted several threads where one poster attacked another.
For the time being, these kinds of actions will result in immediate and permanent bannings. I'm not spending my time dealing with you when I need to find a job to support myself.
How inconsiderate of you all.
I am so disgusted with these actions that I may not bother with keeping this site up at all if it continues.
So, go ahead. Bash me in this thread - and you'll make the decision for me.
So you can shape up or ship out. Or the boat goes down with all of you.
You've been given fair warning. Now we'll all see what you do with it.
I am now going back to my primary activity: finding a new job. I won't be on this thread further.
Somewhere on that thread Goldi-lox posts a letter she got from the site host or Coppertone. I think Coppertone wrote a letter to the FBI or some other federal agency. It had to do with their ham radio call letters or their real name being posted. Don't quote me on that. Coppertone also sent a copy (?) of the letter to Goldi-lox. Coppertone was threatening to shut down LP. Goldi-lox banned her.

lawsuits went away (somehow)
The Times Corp. obtained a $1M judgment against FR/Jim Rob. The court found, among other things, that FR was a for-profit, limited liability company.
The litigation was ostensibly settled for $10K and FR agreement to cease using Times Corp. articles. I suspect somebody sort of bought a silent partnership or some significant influence on FR.
The court decisions re the Times Corp. litigation are:
Judge Morrow's Tentative Order. Re: whether Free Republic's republication of Plaintiffs' copyrighted articles constitutes fair use. Case: Los Angeles Times v. Free Republic. Court: U.S. District Court, C.D.Cal., Case No. 98-7840 MMM(AJWx). Date: November 9, 1999.

III. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, plaintiffs' motion for summary adjudication with respect to fair use is granted, and defendants' motion is denied.
I think Goldi banned two guys: Gatlin and rhino369. Two other posters whose names escape me at the moment...a guy and a gal somehow baited Gatlin or someone into revealing something like a ham radio handle about one of them, the male poster. Harrowup later reveals that the guy is the infamous TonyMCDC or something along that name.
Anyway Goldi received some sort of nasty, threatening, lawyerly letter telling her that they were going to contact the FBI because revealing private information is dangerous in this day and age, blah, blah, blah. The letter had its intended effect and sent Goldi into a tizzy where she banned Gatlin and on some sort of different offense she banned rhino369 for posting a thread titled Is Yukon Gay? The rhino case is another story but it occurred while Goldi was worried about her ISP shutting her off and the FBI getting involved.
Somehow during that thread or another the two complainers were exposed as some sort of klown posse tag team that infiltrates, they act like normal members and gain acceptance and then they play their little game. Their intent is to shut down web sites, at least that is what is alleged against them. Those are the sketchy details off the top of my head while I'm on an extended little vacation and I'm heading back home tomorrow morning. I hope I haven't muddied the waters on this.
When the dust settled she banned the two klown pussies and will reinstate Gatlin's and rhino's posting privileges two weeks from the date of their 'infractions' which should be pretty soon. I think this site had some of the discussion about rhino369's predicament...he posts here under that screen name.
I also believe (but have no proof) that Golfmann was involved in the shutdown of the CP Snitz site.
That's the one I was talking about. Golfmann had told me prior to his taking NN private that he was talking to Huw to get it shut down because he was still listed with Huw as the owner. Whether that was why it was shut down or not I have no clue I only know what I was told. Golfmann has given me no reason to trust him.

A year or more ago Goldie created a webpage for LP users to go to if LP was down so that they could find out why it was down. I went to that address and found the following:
I don't see what the problem is with Stoner. I just take him with a grain of salt and avoid serious discussions with him. For some reason Stoner made Jhoffa_ blow a gasket.
Did I ever tell you the one where the punchline is, "You blew a seal."?
"We the People Forum" morphed into No Name. The URL is still wethepeopleforum.
Yes I know. Despite the URL the forum was never called We The People. I was there from the beginning. We got used to calling it No Name and it stuck. I left twice because of the secret back rooms though it was denied that they existed. I was even let into them at one point but complained that they were wrong. Too elitist for my tastes.
I was the one who started the daily coffee threads that were popular. When I set up my own site I used the coffee theme. I went back to NN after the back rooms were shut down. By that time most of the older posters were gone. I tried to help bring it back but two people came from other sites and spread gossip about me in PMs. I was accused of all kinds of things including playing moderator and spamming. JackLint (central Scrutinizer) was dominating the forum at that point. I left as it was apparent I was not wanted there. Golfmann turned against me, he even came over to Liberty post once to rip at me. Central still attacks me on Liberty Forum occasionally and one of the gals spreading crap about me in PMs continued on another forum. I refuse to associate with her or her group.
