There are Freeper Sleepers here.
I saw a couple of them over in LBN this morning in the 'Invisible Jets' thread. They represent a new tactic among the Disruptors: they will NOT spout the Pug Talking Points; they will lay Straw Men all over a serious discussion (disguising themselves as Debunkers), but they are very careful to do nothing that will get them banned after a few posts. On the contrary, they are playing by the rules just long enough to build their post counts up to where they can carry some "credibility."

Deuced clever, no?

Keep your eyes open and tell me if you see them, too. They ain't that hard to spot; I could name about three of 'em right now, but I prefer to watch them HANG themselves with their predigested pap from the GOP.

Personally, I will lay back and use the alert button at the first sign of Overt Freepitude--but if y'all want to torture them, there ain't a THING I can do about it!

:evilgrin:

1. I hate to be mean to "newbies" but I know how careful I was at the
beginning. I wanted to make clear that I have my own opinion but was worried that I was seen as an intruder from the "other" side.

I think we still can spot them. I go to their website daily (in utter disgust) to check out what they are talking about. I am so ashamed that they are part of the America I love so much. Freedom, Democracy, the Constitution...everything they hate. I am sometimes so worried that Bush will turn out to be the next Hitler, and the freepers will be his Gestapo.

2. I read somewhere...........
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 09:52 PM by BigDaddyLove
though I don't recall where, that there are quite a few posters here who are indeed 'freepers', and they have well over 1,000 posts.

It seems that rather than performing actual disrupting duties, they prefer to start arguments in the vein of "Yeah well Dean is better than Kerry on the environment" and then sit back and watch the fur fly.

They appear to have an actual point, and never come right out and overtly disrupt so it's kinda hard to ban (or even spot) them.

4. not possible to avoid on the net really
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 09:58 PM by Djinn
can only hope they're learning something. There are also plenty of lefty lurkers posting on the rightwing sites and watching the freeps froth at the mouth. Who really cares?

5. About the same number as stealth DUers at Freak Republic
And I know of several.

Just like I know of a few freepers over here.

As long as they aren't doing anything wrong, so be it. If this is how they get their jollies, that's their problem.
