Not very familiar with the format here, so I'm just leaving you with a link notice at the beginning. I have rather a lot of material, though, which I'lll put up later.

In this section there are several threads explaining/showing you what all the buttons do.

It is easy to post a photo.....we do not use the outdated html but bbcode....everything is in brackets[] and it does everything for you.

is for posting photos...put your image url in between the set of brackets[]here[]

Ok, so it just has to be on a host, I'll drop it into Photobucket. Anyway, AK, I'm sure you know who Scuffle is. Good to see some of the old gang, just sad that it is in this kind of circumstances.

Yeah photobucket it good...but you can copy and paste from any site as long as you use the img brackets...

I am sorry...did I know you at FR or did you change your name?

Well, the name is on the blog, and so is my partner of 20 years. But i have gone by a few handles in different places and times - Hahyrningur, Hardraade and Cachelot, for example. Thought I was gonna tell you when I signed up, but there didn't seem to be any reaction to the signup so I forgot. What sent me here today was coincidence - someone over at FR thought there was a new purge going on and put up a link. These days I'm mostly hanging out at LinkedIN, which is as pure Jihad as Stormfront is Nazi.

This is Fran in 2005, two years before war wounds and stress brought her first heart attack in 2007. After 2007 there was a string of heart attacks, perhaps the one that really broke her spirit brought on by Jim Robinson, who she looked up to.

welcome!

So sad for your loss!

I remember I really liked MestaMachine back in the day. She was a great member of Free Republic.

I'm sorry for you loss.  She was a beautiful girl.  Was she your wife?

How did Jim Robinson contribute to her death?

You need to know a little background then, and I'll tell you a bit (not all) of it. First, you have to know what Fran was. She was DIA, and a trained killer. I was her Norwegian counterpart, a civilian stringer for the Norwegian agency. In 2007, she fell to a massive heart attack brought on by war wounds plus stress. The stress was partly over me being persecuted by some of my employer's execs incensed that I had relations with a Jew. She loved, literally, FR. That was her extended family. We met 1st time in 97, and were inseparable after that, even keeping on both sides of the pond. Anyway, along the way i sent her some biggish lumps of money to help defray her medical and other costs, Jimrob found out, and banned her from FR. Not a normal ban, just blanked her homepage and locked her out. That triggered a bunch of further heart attacks. At the latest, she had been promised a full flat at her step-son-in-laws's, turned out the "flat" was little more than a broom closed with no heating, where she had to hide whatever food she had, because these freaks would simply take it. Oh, and like me, Mesta had different handles over time. Frostfire and Nix2, for example.

And this is Mesta's FR homepage which Jimrob deleted. But he didn't count with Wayback.

Mesta and I interacted a number of times. She was a sweetie.

I think he means by banning her he broke her heart, she really loved FR.

She certainly did love FR. And as something even closer than a mate, I sometimes rode unseen shotgun on her missions. And then we'd do inside jokes on FR: "Killed by Balls!! Freepers are everywhere!" In a thread with Freeper Balls :).

lol. I never knew another FReeper in person, I imagine the inside jokes would have been glorious.
