I read a few of your posts. Didn't know who you were. I didn't agree with much but you were respectful and sincere. You're welcome here. The more the merrier.

#23. To: Vicomte13 (#22)
And I raise it an: "Allons enfants de la Patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivé! Contre nous de la tyrannie l'étendard sanglant est levé!" In english please if you want to dance with me.
Seems that you have already cornered the market on that activity? What is you obession? What are you afraid of?
Why would that get me banned? That's just his way of welcoming you to the forum with open arms? BTW, are really Vicomte13? Are you sure that you are not SOD or yukon or any of the other posters over which he is obessed? Come, fess up. But just don't claim that you are Spartacus because I AM SPARTACUS:)
I see your warning of jackbooted Nazis (symbolized by a German patriotic song of the World Wars era), and raise it a French rebellion (symbolized by the first couple of lines of the Marseillaise). To be literal: The jackboots: "Dear Fatherland, remain calm, dear Fatherland, remain calm, the Watch stands tall and true: the Watch on the Rhine, Stands stall and true the Watch, the Watch on the Rhine!" The rebellious response: "Arise, you children of the Fatherland, the day of glory has arisen! Against us tyranny has raised its bloody flag!" In other words, Nazis schmazis - more wine! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-pgRLfAk5Y
I am absolutely Vicomte13, the one and only XIIIeme Vicomte of an obscure place in Normandy, who was banned from FreeRepublic circa 2005 (?) for criticizing George H.W. Bush, who posted at LibertyPost until yesterday, when I gave my adieu, and who has posted here for some time also. I am in a good mood today and having fun here.
SOSO: "Seems that you have already cornered the market on that activity? What is you obession? What are you afraid of"? We could ask you the same question, SOSO. What are you afraid of? You've asked for your own ping list using Goldi's name so you can trash and slander the members here you hate, and in the same breath, you've accused long standing members here, and those who might come here from LP, of spewing "vitroil and gloating over the passing of LP with Goldi". jmho! What is your obession? What are you afraid of? *********************** SOSO: Rest In Peace Goldi ping list ..."safe harbor to let the newcommers here, like myself, ... before the exs spew their vitroil and gloating over the passing of LP with Goldi".
I answered that question right from the beginning and you immediately proved my fears to be extremely well founded. You were hostile to me from you fisrt post. Best do a reality check, Bro, your pants are on fire.
Thank you for the invite. Because I used AOL for email it seems I am on an introductory member basis - I assume that limited my postings?
Use your sock puppet account, Godwinson.
I'm setting you to full.
Hey Dude!
Actually, Godwinson is the name I used on Freerepublic when Pericles and then Destro were banned.
What up, Fred!
Much obliged and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy new year to you too.
Just don't get too smug reading that sweet invite thread. : )
I was going to delay coming here based on just work I am doing and finding time but I am hearing reports of new fighting in Ukraine over that disputed airport.
Godwinson is the name I used on Freerepublic when Pericles and then Destro were banned. You used it here too. I might start a sock puppet decoder ring thread, for all of the aliases used by different people on these forums.
It's the two new unknown sock puppets that you need the ring for. I don't care if people have had multiple IDs as long as they're honest about it. If they're playing games and hiding who they are, you know they're up to no good.
Don't make me play that song to punish your cheeky insouciance.
Calling the different names I used a sockpuppet is a stretch. I never posted simultaneously with two different account names. It is not like the name I pick for an online forum can not change like a SS card or my driver's ID. It is not like these names I use for forums are copyrighted or in any way my real names. I may change my name on forums. But I don't have multiple accounts on each forum playing games or pretending I am a group ganging up on someone or on a topic.
Only a little. I would call them retread accounts if you got banned, like at TOS, and came back under a new handle. Then there are sleepers or zombie accounts, extra IDs for making mischief. I see your point that you were actively posting (and not to disrupt) under each handle in succession. So retread is probably more accurate. I'm not sure that being a retread is that much more dignified than a sockpuppet. These terms get used loosely.
Yes, retread is accurate - same person returning as a different account name and I really never tried to hide it. Sockpuppet is like having a gaggle of fake names who you pretend are different people agreeing with your main current account --- which I have never done.
OK, we're not sock puppets, just retreads. I was Booshbot666 at LP after getting banned as hondo68TTOR. Peace bro.
You mean, other than carefully not telling anyone and pretending you had met everyone for the first time as a new poster. Also, having a bunch of handles at TOS just to go over and harass people like Howlin and OhioWFan so one could get banned over and over for laughs.
Is this the part where the rest of us act surprised? LOL.
Aux armes, citoyens! Formez vos battalions! Marchons! Marchons! Qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons!
I actually tried to be a retread at TOS. Tried to come back as "Sherriff13". But their system said "NOPE", and that was that. Never tried again.
Just clearing things up, prior to seeking $200M to scare Jeb into quitting. Electability, you betcha!
You didn't clear your cookies or you didn't change your IP address. Obviously, it can be done but you have to follow certain rules.
Wait...are you asking for help in going back to TOS? Or just conversing? To go back, just click the heels of those ruby slippers 3 times and recite, "There's no place like Rome, there's no place...". : ) If you want to go back, I can tell you how. So could any number of people here, in private forum mail if you like. Your problem is that your professional prose style would give you away. You write too well; it's pretty unmistakable. So you might get back there for a while but you'd be found out. And, unlike Goldi, Robinson tolerates no retreads.

Vic's style is pretty unique. And he's too cerebral for most of TOS. However for a poster to be hit with the charge of "RETREAD!!" (or troll) it would have to be assumed that Vic has made enemies of petty mitpickers there. Have you, Vic? If not, TC has his balloon tethered to Oz on standby to Kansas.
Their loss.
Not true - I stated I remembered A Pole from Freerepublic several times who (I assumed) also knew me as Pericles on there - old hands at the Milosevic posts. I honestly did not really remember your name that well. And I did not know my ID was in contention.
When FreeRepublic cut me off originally, I thought that it was ridiculous and unfair. I'd been posting there for years, and was a conservative Republican. The things I was angry about in H.W. Bush were legitimate. I was stunned when they did it, and found myself with nowhere to communicate in the way that I'd become accustomed. So I tried to get back aboard, including by trying a pseudonym, once. That was in 2005 or so. Once I found LibertyPost, I started posting there. I missed the "wider audience" of FR for a bit, and I still thought they should lift the ban, as it was ridiculous. So I knocked at the front door a few times, in my own name (Vicomte13). They never deigned to respond to anything. With a little more time, I began to perceive that the thing that makes any chat site good is the quality of the posters. I have heard since I was about 8 years old how well I write, and while I never paid any attention to it when I was younger, as I've gotten older I realize that it is true: I write well, and I do so on a wide variety of topics because of the extremely broad education I have had, and the unique set of experiences. Having a strong memory helps also. And so with further reflection I decided that it is people like me, our willingness to spend time posting our well-written and provactive thoughts for free in a wide chat room, that make a site good, and the absence of us that breaks a site. There are a few news wires that print articles every day. It's easy to find the news. It's easy to find people commenting, one way, about the news. It's difficult to find people with whom to actually ENGAGE about the news, and to find those with whom one can engage INTELLIGENTLY, and at length, well, they're as rare as hen's teeth. Bref: FR's banning of me and people like me was FR's loss. Now I have no interest whatever in going back, other than on my own terms, which are simple: open the door back up, unban me, and don't presume to give me any "warning" whatsoever. I was dead right about H.W. Bush. I was just smarter than the moderators and saw it two years before they did. Unban me and do not presume to give me any "warning" at all, consider yourselves lucky that I should deign to return and give my time and talent to a site that has fallen far from its former glory (BECAUSE it banned people like me), and let it go from there. Those are the terms on which I would do FR the favor of returning, under my own name. Otherwise, that game's not worth the candle. LibertysFlame looks to be like a bigger and less cranky expression of LibertyPost, and with Private Mail too. So I think this place will be excellent. The conversations we will have here will make it so, and my excellent (if lengthy) writing will be a material part of that. This is not arrogance, it is realism.
I never really thought about that. Given some of the outrage that folks have expressed at me, the heat of the invective, just for stating my simple (if at times detailed) opinions, I suppose that there are some people whom I make batshit crazy just by opening my mouth. I think these are mostly matters of style. France is America's oldest ally, but a lot of Americans are allergic to things French, and I do write with more than a little garlic.
Well Stated. In addition to realism, it is also truth. Indeed you do. Nice informative post.
I had a different handle there, one that enraged the Bushbots. The mods hated it. LOL. I can't believe they let me post for so long. I bet I'm one of the rare posters there whose posts have been completely eradicated. I don't recall you either but I was a steadfast opponent of our actions in Yugoslavia. I recall in particular that as the early 2000 race developed, both McStain and Dumbya both raced to the microphones to pledge their undying support for Xlinton bombing the Chinese embassy and amputating Kosovo from Serbia and the rest of that idiocy. Stain/Dumbya were reciting all the "political disagreements stop at our shores" nonsense (which the Dims never reciprocate). Morons.
I recall you and I together on many threads about the election campaign of Sarkozy. Often, we were the only ones on those threads and were repelling trolls. I especially recall some threads with detailed comparisons of his campaign ads and posters to Reagan's 1984 Morning In America ads. Sarkozy created that same vibe with beautiful simple pastoral photos of lush French countryside. A brilliant campaign. A sample of your writing on Sarkozy and France at TOS here. And you still think there's a chance in hell that your Ivy League prose style wouldn't be noticed at TOS in short order? ‹/sarcasm› Liberator and I would have a better chance of retreading there despite our poignant and gripping tribute video to TOS and the heroic BobJ.
