When we started LP, the it was because FR did not allow freedom of speech, banning people because of their dissenting views. It was the aftermath of 911, and they were banning posters that didn't tow the war line. You wanted a place that respected people's legitimate opinions no matter what they were and we made LP.
And now look what YOU have become. Sure it's your site here and you can do what you want, but.... look at what you have become.
Up until today I liked him.
Every person that I know of that truly likes Ron Paul would never stop liking him because of heavy postings about him. Ergo, I cannot find any way to believe your claim. You even igore the fact that most of those postings were ANTI Ron Paul. Blaming RP supporters for what his detractors have done is clearly not something you would do if you liked Ron Paul.
Have bandwidth costs really broken limits? When I was here such popularity was considered a blessing. So now LP has become TOO popular for your tastes, and you now have to figure out ways to make it less popular? If this is really true then you've indeed changed a lot.
And you blame the extra bandwidth usage on RP supporters? Knowing how the software works, I'm not sure you can possibly know that to be the case, apart from scanning the web log files into a database, and then cross indexing the article numbers to the subject they discuss. That's a substantial task to put it mildly, and one that certainly has not been done.
Indeed, Ron Paul would not support Israel, which certainly is reason for you not to like him. But you know he's the only candidate that honors the Constitution, something you used to want in a presidential candidate.
Ron Paul is the most honorable candidate for any federal office in the last 50 or 100 years. That you, who know and admire John Kotmair for all his sacrifice for the cause of liberty to slam this door shut on the only candidate that would respect the Constitution is obscene.
I've raised my eyebrows a number of times at things you've done since I left, but always respected your decisions as your perogative (of course). This time, however, a once in a life-time pro-Constitutional candidate like Ron Paul has a chance of getting elected, you not only refuse to help, but you use your power to quash news about him. Sorry, but I can't let that pass without comment.
You have become everything that you once despised in FR. Your actions show you have completely betrayed what you once valued. If you ever knew John Kotmair, you don't know him anymore or anything he or any of the original founders stood for.
You have betrayed liberty itself.

Did you ever find out where our little buddy Aaron is from?
No, but like I expected a straight answer from that little bitch.

I'm having fun taking some of the Bots to task over there for helping cause Goldi's implosion.
They don't seem to like having their noses rubbed in their own shit.

Yukon isn't a worthless queer. He actually posts some pretty good stuff over on the Log Cabin forum.
As far as I can tell, yukon is gay, but he isn't worthless. I agree that he posts some pretty good stuff over on Log Cabin. Of course, I just hang out on the gay forum for research purposes.
This is hysterical! I haven't had any time to check out BB's lately, but the irony of me going to LP for the first time in months, and seeing this. Very, very funny.
From the "frivolous" thread, posted yesterday from Goldi: "A few months ago, we had a lot of GARBAGE posts on the right sidebar. They were all FRIVOLOUS stories about Ron Paul.
Up until today I liked him."
But his supporters have come here to spam LP, and now I DON'T like HIM or THEM."
What a faker. She's out of her mind.
Does she repeat this cycle over and over every few months? She really is odd.
When I left LoserPatrol.org a long time ago, I said in no uncertain terms that the site was already headed towards being FuckingRetarded.com.
Back then, people shouted the same mind numbed bullshit, and to think that I was right like 3 years ago, makes you wonder just what kind of morons are over there now. The crap I'm reading on that thread, sounds exactly like the same kind of juvenile bullshit you find in the public school system.
When I read their so called rebuttals to what was posted, it's more of the same idiocy that made me leave that concentration camp of morons. When you have a herd mentality like what's on LoserPatrol.org, the only thing you can do is walk away from it, because it's going to be too stupid to understand the truth of things until they're all bleating from being sheared, or slaughtered.
I pray every day that people like them are taken by the good lord by heart attack, aneurysm, plane crashes, you name it. Why? Because if they're not on planet earth, then they aren't causing problems for people who want to live in a free country, or be able to freely speak their minds.
As an American Citizen, I am imbued with certain inalienable rights, and when those rights are infringed upon, or abridged by people of lesser intelligence, or who have a deceptive agenda, I am being denied that most important inalienable right to change the country for the better.
What these people want, is perpetual turmoil. They want a fear driven state, and they want what the Israelis want, which is to have Americans die for their soil, all because of that biblical belief that they are the only country in the world that matters.
WRONG. My country where I live is the most important nation in the world because on its best days, it outshines every rathole and traitor infested land in the world. I want to see the best days of my country, not remember how things used to be. I live in the worst of times of this country, and day by day they are getting worse because of non-thinking, brain-dead morons like those at FuckingRetarded.com, and LoserPatrol.org.
Not to mention all the socialist liberal traitors who have undermined this country for the last 90 years or so, who want us buried in the same shit that makes the third world such a wonderful place to live.
I want my country back, and if these fucking morons don't like it, that's their problem. Until the day they get their way and they take away the freedom of speech for those who dissent, or disagree with their lies and abject tyranny, I will continue to rail against them, and support people like Ron Paul who have made it a point to invest their lives in the pursuit of turning America back into what it once was, America.
Dying for old bastards, and their old money, isn't my idea of freedom.
I noticed Neil just offered to take LP back from Goldi. Hopefully she'll take him up on the offer. She's never around anyway and when she is she sounds extremely bitter and mad at the world. With any luck she'll walk away.
Right now, Goldi has issues coming to grips with being riffed. For some people, that can take years. An old friend of mine was fired from a job he really liked and it took him six years to get over it.
In the interim, he displayed many of the characteristics that Goldi is showing now. Lashing out at people, finding bogeymen under the bed, blaming others for your own misfortune, etc.
When I was riffed, it took a few months to deal with it, mostly because I'd been "there" for more than a decade. Finally, I realized I was working for morons and that I'd never have to deal with them again....and that I'd have to find a new set of morons to go work for.
Goldi needs to get "there" and will continue to have periodic temper tantrums until then just due to the stress of having been Cast Out.
So, she'll be erratic for a while until she can sing "Life's a bunch of shit, when you look at it..." and do it with a smile.
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.
